A few bad apples do not imo taint a whole ethnic group as I judge people based on their own behaviour which is all they can control. An English person wronged me once ergo everyone from England is a fcuker?

They make up less than one percent of the population yet nine out of ten people has had a bad encounter with them? Do you think those percentages are normal?

Instead of being forced into submission by the PC brigade people should speak their minds of how they really feel about these things. It is bad for the rest of society and it is especially bad for the travellers if people dont speak about it. How are they meant to know their actions are wrong if they are not criticized?

There's a definite discussion to be had about the issues with that particular community, this isn't it. This is a Traveller bashing thread for people to vent their disdain of Travellers.
melissak wrote: » I know. Never trust the Mormons I always say.(not really I have never met a Mormon) Op throwing stones at people is not their culture. I know lots of travellers who are sound. Maybe you only notice them when they live down to your expectations and you don’t notice them when they don't conform to your prejudices.

Remember they way everyone was afraid of sharks after that film about the shark that killed loads of people at a US beach resort... I think it was called 'The Shark who Killed for Fun' or something like that.

I walk out and all the benches where taking so I sit down on some nearby steps and look through the news on my phone when after about five minutes I hear the very recognizable voices of this certain community from behind me and it sounds like its a large group but I just go about my business without a bother each to their own live and let live. After about two minutes a fairly largish stone lands right in front of me missing me by centimeters so I immediate know where this stone came from and got up and move as I was walking away I look back (deliberately waiting till i got a good distance before I do this) and notice three young children with this large group of men and women throwing stones at different people. I know kids will be kids but what really shocked me was the fact that an older male figure probably in hes late 20s if not 30s was directing the children on who to throw stones at. I know I know its all just part of the culture and im the evil one for walking away I should of just sat there and let meself be pelted with stones so they could have their fun. But what really annoyed me wasn't what happened to me it was the facts that someone could being visiting a really sick or possibly dying relative and the last thing they should have to put up with is this sort of thing when they are already probably in a bad enough mood or an emotional state. And that concludes my latest bad encounter with that certain ethnic minority peaceful group, some of my encounters with them have included extreme violence and theft.
