Problem is if the foam covers his face then the guy could suffocate and die, but in my books that perfectly acceptable.

Personally I support the use of automatic firearms against the worthless criminal scumbags.
The use of a harmless dissolving agent might make your idea a little better. Or some way to cut through it quickly. I don't like the idea of using even low level radiation weapons on the populous, but seeing what those were doing to impede the firemen makes me want to shout:

There really isn't a response. They can't retaliate, and they can't not respond to calls. Unless they're going to give fireys police-like powers, whereby ignoring or threatening them is a crime (through endangering others and property by preventing them doing their jobs). Won't really help, since you'll just get a lot of kids in juve, but they're targetting these guys because it's not as bad as going the fuzz.
If these youths are taking the time to find targets to harrass without facing consequences they would if they did the same to an officer of the law, then they deserve to be in juve hall. Let the firemen use those hoses on the punks. They could use a little ass-rashing.

I'm not a UK citizen, but I have to go, what the fuck :wtf:

I can understand a certain amount of animosity towards the police when kids are young and rebelious. But fire fighters? When has anyone anywhere had a negative experience with a fire fighter or an EMT?

I just don't get where it comes from. Unless I am really reall shelltered, more so than I thought I was, the only time I ever heard about firefighters comming under fire here in the states was durring the LA riots.

What is going on in the UK that this is not just happening, but appears to be common?

It seems that the US is falling to the religous right, and the UK seems to be falling to the criminals and the fucktard.

What you need to get into the heads of these dumbass parents is that YES kids can be little assholes, and YES they do deserve punishment for their jackassery.

I imagine that ten-year-olds would not be a large percentage of this demographic, so that should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but for worthless little "I'm-so-tough" shits that think they can get away with this need to be smacked upside the head. Just teach the firemen non-lethal combat techniques, and they'll bring down these little fuckers easy.
