That is the only real option here. What is the point? You are doing nobody any favours.
If the whole sorry Newlove situation taught us anything it's that it isn't worth the risk for the principle.

I have to disagree here, Lefty, I would've hoped that the Newlove situation would've taught us that not enough people are doing anything.
The scum that killed Mr Newlove though they were invincable and were no doubt laughing at the fact a lone wolf had stood up to them.
Had another five, maybe ten, of the local residents confronted them, I don't think we'd have seen such a heartbreaking situation. I'm not saying we should roam the streets with a cricket bat on the look out for Hoods and Reebok Classics (as that is the sort of behaviour we are trying to prevent), but if we could try to find some form of meaning in the word 'community' in the 21st century, we'd all be better off.
That's my opinion, of course, and as the cliche goes, they are like Assholes, we've all got one and most are full of turd.
