I'D just like to make a comment referring to the article written about the so-called "Trouble making moshers and goths" that hang out on Church Street.
Personally I am neither a mosher or a goth but I have many friends that could be classed under this category and I myself have often gone to socialise down on Church Street.
I have never once in all my time of doing this witnessed any form of anti-social behaviour or intimidating people. They are just a group of people who are having fun hanging out with their friends.
What angers me greatly is that you have made them out to be yobs -- something that they are not!
If it was a group of any other so-called "normal" teenagers and not moshers and goth" nothing would ever be said. It's pure prejudice -- just because people don't understand something, they judge!
It's inexcusable and unfair. What harm are these young people doing? None at all -- are you trying to suggest that they shouldn't socialise at all? They congregate in large groups because they are victimised by other youths -- because they are different. I've witnessed this with my own eyes.
