"I DONT no Why Iam Writing a letter to you!"

Before you raid our comments section with complaints of bad spelling and punctuation, this is how a 16-year-old's "apology" letter began after he robbed a family home.

The UK teen was forced to write to his victims in Leeds, but showed no remorse (or "remores") and wrote them a list of reasons why the whole debacle was their fault, The Sun reports.

Our UK counterparts have described the kid as "shameless", "callous", a "****less thug" and a "yob". About sums it up.

"To be honest I'm not bothered or Sorry about the fact that I burgled your house. Basicly it Was your fault anyWays. I'm going to run you through the dumb mistakes you made."

The kid then tells the family they should have drawn their curtains, and closed a kitchen window.... the fools (?).

"Your dumb you live in Stainburns a high risk burglary area and your thick enough to leave your downstairs kitchen window open," he wrote.

"I wouldnt do that in a million years. But anyways I don't feel sorry for you and Im not going to show any sympath or remores."

Don't they teach "sympath or remores" over there? Or English?

Kind of funny, lol.

This is precisely the mindset of internet hackers. They feel justified in ruining your internet property if you leave the curtains open.

Yeah, I think he has a few things to "brush up" on before he can expect to win a scholarship to Oxford!

Nice to see that someone with the brain of a peanut calls other people "dumb" and "fools". They may not have remembered to draw their curtains, but I'm certain they know how to spell remorse. Idiot. He's the kind of guy that would make a good punching bag, as it's not like he has any brain cells to lose.

He's is right though. Would it have been different if a PhD who was super polite in his letter to the victims robbed the house? That doesn't make the victims any smarter for leaving a window open.

No, but I should be able to leave my windows open. I should be able to walk at night. I should be able to trust. It's not an excuse to victimize someone.

What makes you believe that all people are on the up and up and can be trusted? Has the world ever been that way? Does a fox cry "woe is me" when a hawk flies off with the gopher the fox killed for lunch? Humans are animals too. It's a cruel world for those who let their defences down.

That is why your insurance company will say "screw you" when you try to put in a claim for the lost goods.

My point is merely that there's no excuse for it from a rational human being. Saying someone was naive, someone was trusting, someone made a mistake, is no excuse to victimize them.

The kid gave them the same speech an adjuster or cop would. YOU screwed up by leaving your window open.

If the kid didn't see the opportunity he would have moved on.

Sometimes it's a cruel world for those who are silly enough to let their guard down.

End up mugged or raped after dark and the people will question why you'd have 'put yourself' in that situation.

People also lived in communities, family groups and knew who their neighbours were and watched out for each other. We don't have that anymore.

People are animals and not all are tame. Don't let your guard down and you'll be a lot safer in this cruel world full of animals.

BTW I never said the kid wasn't an asshole, only right.

It doesn't matter petros. If you have your guard up, and someone gets the better of you, you still had it cming for being where you were, when you were, and without the strength, weaponry, whatever justification.

If you lock your windows, but they're not good enough windows. If you have too nice a house. If you drive too nice a car. If you wear the wrong clothes. People come up with dozens of ridiculous justifications for why they picked their victims every day.

Life is fraught with hazards, Karrie, recognizing them is step one, avoiding or putting a defense in place is step two, figuring a way to mitigate damage is step three and recognizing that someway, some day you are going to die is step four.

This seems to be the way of society. An individual who perpetrates an act of agression upon another, not their fault. They've been oppressed or abused or the dog ate their homework. Not their fault.

However the individual who has the act of agression perpetrated upom them, well, why were they there, did they not know any better, how could they let that happen?

When and how did this become so screwed up in our society?

No ,insurance companies will say screw you because they are more crooked and corrupt than the governments.

It's not just the criminals that are doing it, the courts also seem to find ways to blame the victims whilst painting the suspect as the "poor victim". The case where the judge blamed the woman for being raped comes to mind.

If I was able to, I would give this post ten more thumbs-up.

The only sympathy that the British are allowed to show nowadays are with the perpetrator, not the victim.

Our ruling liberal elite constantly tell us that wrongdoers should not be punished and that they should merely be "listened to" and "understood" etc etc.

Kids are taught in British schools that it is wrong to respect authority - your parents, the law, the elderly etc - and that, if they did wrong, they will not be punished. Whenever a kid is caught by the authorities for doing something wrong they are merely told to write a gloating letter to the victim to let the victim know, in no uncertain times, that it is their own fault that they were the victim.

All this has led to a generation of British kids who believe, rightly, that they are untouchable and that they can therefore break the law, and gob off to those in authority, at will. This is why so many of them went on the rampage in many major cities around the country in August, chucking bricks through store windows and looting them (those that they didn't burn down, that is).

It is time that discipline was brought back. Pupils who misbehave need to be caned (even the girls. We a creating a generation of thuggish, mouthy, cheeky, bad-mannered ladettes). Also, courts need to be tougher with those who break the law. Far tougher sentences need to be brought in for those thugs who carry knives, especially for those who use them to stab an innocent person with.

Only when the young are properly disciplined can we finally have kids who behave themselves and are more respectful to those in authority.

And this is the problem with society, and Law Enforcement. Law enforcement seem to only want to deal with the symptom. During the Christmas season, when we're shopping at the mall, police tell us to lock everything up, and to keep valuables out of sight. If we don't do this, and stuff gets stolen, insurance won't have to pay, because we were told. This is too easy. Instead of doing real work, like investigating, its basically our own fault if stuff gets stolen, why? We're the victims, and get treated like the criminals. We need to deal with the problem, head on. Allow people to protect what is theirs, and bust the bastards who break into our homes and vehicles, and punish them with hard labor. We shouldn't have to lock everything up, 30 years ago, we didn't have to, so what happened? Enforcement wanted easy money, like seatbealt, radar, and photo radar tickets. If someone breaks into your vehicle, they can't be bothered. Some laws seem to favour gov't coffers over public well being, I guess I'll never understand. I do understand there are always exceptions, but if we get to the young criminal element early, and put some fear into them, along with some positive ethics, they MAY turn into respectable adults.
