OT: for you ambulance attacking europeans

[red5angel]

Can someone from a country where this ahppens often explain to me why it happens? What is it about emergency vehicals in heneral that people are attacking them for?
Like I said in the last thread, it makes some, ridiculous sort of sense why people might attack police cars, but not ambulances and fire engines.

Don;t know why. But it's usually in places that you could call 'deprived' or 'lower-end' I would think.

Kids with nothing better to do doing it for a laugh because they're bored, lacking in parental attention etc.

Who knows? They're just little bas*ards!

I blame rap music

if this was a joke then okay....it was slightly amusing. If you are genuinly serious then you are well.....you dont have a clue what you're on about.

Thats about as lame as the critics of marilyn manson blaming his music for the events that happened at columbine.
You talk alot of crap.

Au contraire! Rap music is responsible for these attacks!

Rap music was inspired by Break dancing, which in turn originated from the custom of stealing hub caps off moving ambulances.

See? Everything's connected.

Jeez, I feel like James Burke now.

Nah, Red5 found out that Euros throw rocks at ambulances because they listen to Rap music.

You know, like: "Throw yo rox in the air! Hit the Ambo like ya jus' don' care!"

See!? That's crack rox. All those hiphopsters eat it you know. See, it is America's fault!?

Well, it depends the circumstances. When my brother worked as a paramedic, he knew entering areas that were generally lower class could be gang area and he could be picking up a gang member and taking them to a hospital. A rival gang sometimes attacks the ambulance then to prevent them from getting the gang banger.

This happens because we dont draft our no hope kids into the army at a young age, to go kill civilians, the wounded and protect the interests of the mega rich.


I blame Tony "yes boss" Blair.

Monkeyfoot, u bet, Kris was DEAD serious

Besides what Philbert said, ambulances can be seen as representatives of "authority" (both in what they do and because they usually are linked to the government), so this ill logic can lead to random acts toward them. Us humans are animals, too, and act in weird but somehow predictable ways at times.

u know it M-Man

and I guess the lack of authority plays a part like ppl above me have stated
