Bricks through windows are quite a norm, and I was once shot at on the East Lancs coming out of Manchester, luckily no injuries just a holed side window. The police on that one just kept going. And don't start me on things like the Miner's strikes, various French strikes and of course getting tour coaches out of Yugoslavia when that kicked off.

Within the context of what you've described above, I can now understand the logic behind it (and the other instances that you refer to)... I just don't understand society today, if that is what the human race has descended to.
