MOD READ

Just watched the vid and Shell can't be held responsible for some random person shouting a name, she never had any intent to name anyone or she would have just typed the name in whilst waiting for all the messing around involved in uploading and coverting videos to you_tube etc.

To be honest I dont think anyone else noticed, as you where the 1st to mention it. But we do have policy that we do not name names until the media does. Like I have said previously click notify on the post with the vid, explain you concern and leave it in the hands of the moderators.

I agree

I think someone needs to look properly into the legal implications of this once and for all.
Who is responsible for what is published on this site because someone is.

The video is down to where its hosted (You Tube)
You Tube after complaints would simply removed it.
Then it would not be visible on our forums.

You cant be done for factual information.
The video was poor at best implicating anyone as it was
dark and it could have been anyone and anything.

Personally i would have left the video in place and left
it up to shell to remove it from there you tube account.
But as it had been requested to be removed more than once (NOTIFY)
it looks like our moderator deemed it better to keep the
peace.

Members and there accounts are responsible for there comments
on these forums, if asked i would be obligated to hand over
any logs to the authorities. But as were a pretty tight ship
on what gets posted i think were ok on this one.

We work PRO Active to members requests.
We do understand that its local news but we are permitted to
voice our personal opinions about such incidents even if were
not aware of all the facts. If were wrong by jumping the gun
then were wrong but were also going to look stupid jumping the
gun with what if's when found out to be wrong.

Its always difficult but at the very least you have your own
voice to put the correct side of the story over which i think
i a hell of a lot more than what you would be allowed to do
if it was a national news paper.

Just remember people its local news and it could be
you next so spare a thought to your comments

Laughed my testicles off

Lol I'm here 1 day and look at the uproar!

I never intentionally filmed anyone saying that lads name so technically speaking not my fault whatsoever. Everyone who has spoken about what went on - and I mean people who don't even know what really happened - still know the name of one of the lads and that has nothing to do with me, everyone knew this before hand, we were told by other people standing by who he is and had phonecalls off friends saying 'we've heard so-and-so is on a roof' and they all knew too, before I'd taken the video.

On the one hand while I was aware that people would kick off about a name being said in the video, I did not believe for a minute that I was causing any harm, as its not like I instructed police to say his name at that moment and everyone seemed to know who he was anyway.

Just to add I don't have any video editing software compatible with .MP4s as I did look into editing that part out before uploading it, and youtube doesn't seem to have that option either unless I want to play a song over the whole video which would be quite pointless IMO. Also - I could only see 1 post which said anything harsh about the boy's family and to be quite frank while I don't agree with what was said because from what I've heard it is only the son that is like that and his mother has previously asked him to be locked up, I do think they can count themselves lucky worse hasn't been said from the amount of damage caused - even the people with house insurance won't get their properties fixed for free because there are very few policies that cover that level of damage due to riot/people being idiots ripping slates off the roofs. So while the workers amongst us are paying the tax that will clean up the street, buy new police cars, refuel that chopper, etc, most of those people are going to have to fork out for roof work and new cars themselves so I feel quite sorry for them as well as the taxpayers.

£100,000-worth of damage after Wirral slate attack


OVER £100,000-worth of damage was caused after two teenagers hurled slates onto a Wirral road.

Petrified families were trapped in their homes for nearly five hours after the 15 and 16 year olds threw slates and chimney pots from roofs at neighbours, policemen and cars.

The pair began the stand-off on Wednesday night in Hillcroft Road, Wallasey, after trying to evade police.

Lisa Symons, 34, went to speak to a neighbour when slates started flying.

She said: “I had to dive into my friend’s house with my three-year-old son – we were all hysterical.

“The street turned into a war zone.

“The boys shouted ‘Get me £10,000, a crate of Stella and a Ferrari’.”

Both youths, who stayed on the roofs from around 8pm to 1am, have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and public order offences.

Poulton councillor John Salter said: “This has caused £100,000- worth of damage, trashing three police and two private cars, as well as the roof damage.

“It is just unbelievable – I’ve never seen anything like it before.”

THE WIRRAL NEWS

Pfff

If you don't want to be in the media and seen on YouTube then don't act up like this. People will always talk and we are wihin our rights to do so.

I would of posted the video myself if I recorded it ( but shot better )

Hope they didn't roll under anywhere difficult to reach!



Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-ee!

or

something by Fiddler on the Roof?

This will all blow over in a few days, just in time for the next controversy over a local news item full of heresay

Welcome to Wiki Shell

"£100,000-worth of damage after Wirral slate attack "

I wonder who's going to end up paying for that - I'm guessing not those responsible

It will be the same people who will be paying for their accommodation, meals, playboxXstationcubes, dvd's etc if they get custodial sentences

Can the people with damaged property take out a private compensation summons or whatever its called.

lol

Comeon, you gotta laugh!
Beer is on everyones list
