Arson

It was very sad to read today that our close neighbours, 1st Kidsgrove Scout Group, had suffered an arson attack. It seems someone had set fire to one of their outbuildings which was used to store archery and air rifle shooting equipment amongst others.

It was lucky it was just an outbuilding and not their main meeting hall. It would have been catastrophic for the Group if the main building was targeted as this is where they store all their music equipment (they have a very active Scout band) and all their camping gear, and of course they wouldn’t have anywhere to meet.

I wonder what kind of person sets fire to buildings belonging to a charity which does a lot of work and good for the young people in their community? I think my idea of enjoyment is somewhat different to these fools (I’m being VERY polite here!).

Good luck to Kidsgrove getting everything sorted out after this mindless and unprovoked attack.

    The realist in my says this is a very sad thing and I hope they catch the person that does it. Fingers crossed the only things that were damaged were things that the insurance will be able to replace. Here is hoping that one of the guns went off in the fire and shot a pelet into the culprits ass so he limping will give him away.

    The Comedian in me wonders if it was a Scout trying to show skip what he had learnt. 🙂

  2. I’ll be interested to hear if the police have caught any knuckle draggers – will have to get on the grapevine!

    If was a Scout, then I hope he only used one match!!!!!!! 😉
