    I just need to vent my anger. A family member on her way to the U2 concert was punched in the head and had her phone stolen by a youth at Summerhill.

    She had her 2 kids with her at the time.

    The kids aren't really relevant. Welcome to big cities.

    Sorry to hear that, but scumbags have no consideration for kids, hope she's ok and the kids aren't traumatised.

    These are the risks involved when you're a U2 fan.

    "At U2 concert" and "in somerhill" are two different locations.

    Northsider bands like that tend to attract unsavoury clientele :p

    It wasn't a big 1930's novelty phone by any chance was it?

    I hope so, i'll know later. Thanks for the concern. Others on here seem to think being mugged is funny.

    Sorry to hear that OP, it's a real shame to have spent so much on a concert like that and then have it ruined or at least seriously marred by some piece of sh1t waste of life...

    Even you're funny Mr. Marker. Of course I'm close to passing out from the amount I've drank thanks to tomorrow being my only day off.
    woo.

    I hope there hasn't been too much of an effect on the kids but one of the great things about kids is they are so elastic. They can probaby deal with the memory much better than any adults present. Terrible thing to happen though.

    Surely the karma for buying U2 tickets would be to have to stand in a field for 2 hours listening to U2 songs?

    No, I think being punched in the head is far mor appropriate. Now if only there was a way we could punch every one who attended in the head we would be in heaven.

    Well given the choice I think I'd prefer to get punched in the head. I'd consider it getting off lightly.
