Elders in England

[YOhio]

A companionship got the crap kicked out of them by a group of 14 kids. I wonder how often this happens.

Man, the swedish elder looked especially bad. I hope they gave as good as they got or at least went down swinging. If I were attacked, I would at least try to give as good as I got.

I never got attacked but once a group of drunk Filipinos were threatening my comp and I. I happened to be holding an empty 7-Up bottle in my hand so I brandished it by the neck and stood my ground. The drunks backed off. I was 6' 1" and 135 pounds at the time so I'm sure the drunks could have "messed me up good cowboy" but I would've tried to go down swinging.

A friend of mine served in St. Louis and he and his companion were jumped and beaten by a group of kids in East St. Louis. They fought back best they could, but being outnumbered they didn't fare too well. Unlike in the story you posted, my friend and his comp were not assisted by anyone, though several saw what was going on.

They weren't grateful for the help from the patrons of the pub where they got help?



Mr Herrey, who is from Gothenburg, Sweden, and Mr Woolsey, from Utah, in the USA, ended up spending a night in the Royal Bolton Hospital after they were confronted by the teenagers and chased more than 500 metres before getting help from people at the Lord Raglan pub.

Both the victims say they are grateful for the help they have received from the hospital, police and their church, and they have vowed to continue their missionary work in the town.

I couldn't help myself in searching more. The Swedish Elder is the son of one of the Swedish Osmonds. Here is their '84 Eurovision Song Contest:



Will we soon see a Heleman Halls production of it?

They didn't write the article but judging by the forgiving tone they portrayed, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that they were grateful to the pub patrons.

I love Eurovision; a total freak show. Is it broadcast here? It is especially good when broadcast from one of the Eastern European countries. Think SNL's Steve Martin and Dan Akroyd as the wild and crazy guys, but for real. The deliberate, loud English (they must figure we all understand them better if they crank it up a few decibels). BBC would always cover it and have a running commentary on the acts and the hosts. Absolutely hilarious.
