Fri Oct 12 LONDON (Reuters) - A teen-ager was airlifted to hospital and his father had his nose broken when gatecrashers went on the rampage at a 16th birthday party after details were posted on YouTube, police and media reports said Friday.

More than 100 uninvited teenagers descended on the family house, stole whisky and champagne, smashed windows and started fighting, according to reports.

Engineer David Worthy, 53, was punched in the face when he tried to turn away a group of youths, while his son Stephen, 18, was badly beaten.

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police in western England said an air ambulance took the teen-ager to hospital in Bath with suspected spinal injuries.

His mother Susan Worthy, 52, a nurse, said they feared for their lives as the youths attacked the outside of the house.

"We were scared stiff," she was reported as saying in the Times newspaper. "There was a loud bang and the windows smashed. I thought they were going to kill us."

suspected spinal injuries?
WoW

What the hell is a YouTube party anyways? :confused:

Better question, why does that article hyphenate teen-ager?

I'm guessing the kid sent out his invitation via YouTube and party crasher got win of the video, found out the location, date, and time and crashed the party.

That's my guess anyways.

I think the lesson here is: do not post details about yourself, ie. your address, on any website including or especially Youtube.

This wouldnt happen in the US. Strangers wont gatecrash a party or throw rocks or try to paralize your child when the owner is standing on the porch with a shotgun.

lol

Everyone in America has AK-47's they sell them in the preschools and convenience stores, they keep them next to the chocolate bars.

This is true, one shot in the air and they would all scatter...lol. I love America!

silly Americans, you more likely to shoot yourself than have a gang on internet folk turn up at your house and hurt you

Im sorry for the confusion but i have absolutly no idea what this responce means and this phrase doesnt seem to be an answer of any form to my statement.

Wow, yeah, I can see that England is SO much better than the US what with there being so much less violence.

Seriously, wtf?

I'd like to be the first to blame Intestinal Fluids for turning this into a America Vs. Britian thread.

Yeah, too bad people on both sides didn't have guns otherwise we'd have a lot of dead people instead of a lot of injured ones.


Generally though, how stupid are people to put their address on youtube?

Not that it matters, but I second that motion.

Relevant to the OP...

WTF?! Assholes...

I wonder if you called the police and said 100 teenagers were laying siege to your house how many cops they'd send.

That's why people should own guns.

Yeah really, if those teenagers had shown up with some guns they could have gotten rid of the witnesses.

That's why you use a pump shotgun with buckshot.

Must we really turn all threads into a gun thread? Oh wait its NSG...Carry on.

I think Youtube went into H.E.M. aka Human Eardication Mode. I'm telling you they weren't teens attacking the house but Youtubeites!

Family should have bought a combat helicopter. Because a pile of dead bodies look much nicer on a lawn.

That's why you use a pump shotgun with buckshot.
Yes, because everyone lives paranoid little lives where they feel the need to have a small arsenal of guns so that they can select the appropriate one for the appropriate occasion.

There are other reasons to own firearms, other than protection.

Back on topic, nothing like this would happen at my place, because my place isn't big enough to fit more than 10 people comfortably, let alone 100. That, and I'm not stupid enough to post my address on the internet for everyone to see.

But I only have four guns now. I gave my pump shotgun to my son. Guess I'll have to buy another one as the single shot 20 gauge isn't very useful.

That's whay every party I host I make I have some snipers stationed on the roof to take care of the little bastards before they even reach my house. :D

But speaking semi-seriously that family was stupid to put any personal info on the net and supremely stupid to put their adress up.

I got my M-16A from a vending machine. ;)

And all I got was this Desert Eagle.

*pouts*

Are those the mints?

Someone ought to post a similar invitation on YouTube, except it's a deathtrap designed to pick off anyone stupid enough to crash the "party."

"Free Beer and Whores. Come to Camp Crystal Lake for more details."

:D

Someone ought to post a similar invitation on YouTube...OK

here is the adress

YouTube Party!! FreeForAll Orgy!! Free Beer!! Bring your asses. :D

:rolleyes: nothing stopping the gatecrushers from firing back.

'Cause every teenager takes a gun with them when they go to crash parties. OH WAIT... Yeah, that doesn't happen.

Having a hundred people show up to wreck your house is kinda unheard of around here too, though.

*pouts*

You should be eating Cap'n Crunch! I got an AK-47 with a grenade launcher just for sending in 6 box tops!



*edt* It took me more than 5 minutes of research on Wikipedia to come up with that combination, since I know NOTHING about guns (well, I have been safety captain for loading blank guns for stage use...) and did not even know that a grenade launcher could be attached to a gun. Or what an AK-47 actually is.

OK

Well we know HE has a shotgun and that he has no problem with using it against people.

Well don't come crying to me when the zombies take over, I'll be safe picking them and people in dire need of help off from a wide range of calibers.:sniper::mp5::upyours::fluffle::eek::gundge:

Please don't use smileys in this way ever again.

It's sad to me that this town apparently has so little for bored teens to do at night that they're willing to mob someone's house for kicks. Haven't the town leaders seen Footloose?

This wouldnt happen in the US. Strangers wont gatecrash a party or throw rocks or try to paralize your child when the owner is standing on the porch with a shotgun.

That's right, the owner would be killed. So is the child. And if the ugly very fat owner was lucky he could kill a few party crashers.

Or do you believe that only 'good' people are carrying guns in US of A?

Wow, yeah, I can see that England is SO much better than the US what with there being so much less violence.

Seriously, wtf?
Yes. Obviously. Because one event utterly procludes various statistics, aye?

Jesus Christ...

I'm sure that Bath City Council have far better things to do, to be quite honest. There are over 90,000 people living in Bath, it's not some hick town (despite it lying just the wrong side of Somerset).

'Cause every teenager takes a gun with them when they go to crash parties. OH WAIT... Yeah, that doesn't happen.
If they thought the people at the house would have guns then they probably would.

And this is why we don't post our addresses on the internet.

Im guessing its FAR more likely that they simply wouldnt crash a party if they knew an angry father with a gun would be there. No one would say well lets just bring machine guns instead.In any event, a mob doesnt need guns or really any weapons at all to kill the entire family. So a "well the crowd could have been armed too" arguement doesnt hold water. The crowd simply due to its volume is as equally deadly to that family weather its armed or not. The father being armed would have been the only reasonable equalizer to the situation.
As well as being responsible for turning this into a gun and America vs Britian thread, im also responsible for world hunger and the measles.

That is hilarious.

Nah, they'll just shoot you.

Rock salt load is more fun.

There are 4, 5 and sometimes 6 times more homicides in US as in European countries.

And still those fat American macho pussies say 'no, it has nothing to do with our guns, we have a violent history'...

In 2004 there were 16,148 people killed in America on a total of 293,656,842 people.

In Germany in 2004, 792 people were killed. Germany was holding 82,531,700 people at that time.

Compared to the entire population, 5,73 times more homicides occurred in USA.

But hey, wear your gun, feel as a macho man. Tomorrow another school kid will maybe kill this time YOUR son or daughter.

I believe that Germany is also having a violent history. They killed ‘some’ Jews in WWII.

Oh btw, violent UK is having similar results as Germany. Another country that is unknown for its non-violent historical behaviour.

That's why you use a pump shotgun with buckshot.

Uh huh.

So, 100 teenagers with guns against a family of 3+ with guns. (since "if people had guns..." apply to everyone)

Who wins?

I wonder if you called the police and said 100 teenagers were laying siege to your house how many cops they'd send.

Well, where I live you'd probably get police in riot gear. In fact, that's what they did against the few hundreds of teenagers and young adults a few months back.

Seems to be standard procedure against illegal raves where drugs are suspected, so it's not surprising that it would be used against what is in effect, a riot.

did you used to have another nation? everyone I have ever talked to from Belgium has been like this......but if you had another nation maybe there is hope that it's not such a xenophobic bigoted country.

Hey, if the father had a gun several kids might have been killed, but no one would have been beaten!

statistics can be xenophobic now :confused:

I never thought I would say that

I think this could be used as teen bait. You post the details of this amazing party in Youtube, then set a few machine gun nest so that when those good-for-nothing trouble-making slackers approach you just mow them down.
