Kerre Woodham: Turn a hose on the brats

You heard about those ghastly little oiks from the North Shore who are planning a FTP party at Castor Bay next weekend?

The ones who should spend more time in class and less on Facebook, judging by their spelling and grammar?

The ones who are supported by their parents in their negative attitude towards police officers and blaming them for the party that got out of control last Saturday?

I know teenagers are supposed to have anti- authoritarian attitudes and to push the boundaries but really. Deliberately baiting the police and literally begging for trouble through the media is going just a bit far.

Well, how about when they do finally put on their Supre finest and head for the sand dunes and inevitably start fighting, trashing properties and making nuisances of themselves, what say we bring out a water cannon and blast them off the beaches?

It worked when the French students rioted. Admittedly, there were a million of them and I'm not sure our police actually have a water cannon in their arsenal but using number 8 wire ingenuity, we could always use the fire service.

Pointing a whopping great hose at a bunch of foul-mouthed, missile-hurling brats and drenching the lot of them would surely restore a bit of job satisfaction among our emergency services.
