Petition: remove child-specific antipersonnel device from Welsh library

[davide405]

@MrMosquito

… so don’t worry Mr B you can use the library without fear of another Panic Attack.

Dismissive and patronizing.

@MrMosquito

it is a shame that a few chavs reck it for the rest, you know the type those who think an ASBO is cool.
{emphasis added}

Chav
You seem to have a specific “type” in mind, but your device is indiscriminate.
ASBO

@MrMosquito

It is a very sad sign of our times, no respect from the parents and even less from their kids.

@MrMosquito

As long as Mum and Dad can drink themselves daft without the kids hanging around the house what do they care what their kids get up to.

Are you an editor for the Daily Mail?

@MrMosquito

High frequency sound does not pass through solid objects

False

High frequency sound has different diffraction properties from lower frequency sounds.

@MrMosquito

I suspect that to my daughter the sound is not high frequency so she does not find it annoying.

Suspect does not equal true.

@MrMosquito

People have asked about dogs and this has been fully tested by the guide dogs for the blind

Citation please.

@MrMosquito

Those who say I am full of ’shit’ are plain wrong I only built the thing so my daughter (then 14) could visit the local shop in the evening without being molested.

So your daughter, who is in the targeted age range, could visit the place undisturbed while the device was in operation, but the “shit faced chavs” couldn’t endure it?

I need a little elaboration to understand this inconsistency.

@MrMosquito

Yes this could be called scaremongering but you would not say this if it was a friend or relative of yours who was on the receiving side!

It’s exactly scaremongering. To wit: Think of the children!

@MrMosquito

I was even told by a large group of kids whilst filming some TV that they would be pleased to see a device installed at their local shop as they were to afraid to visit the shop after dark,

So again, as the example of your (then 14 year old) daughter above: How is it that the good kids aren’t bothered by the device in operation, but the chavs are?

@MrMosquito

the long term answer is a step back in time to good old fashioned discipline but this would give the Human rights brigade a heart-attack.

Please define “good old-fashioned discipline.” Would this involve a specified number of strokes with a cane delivered to bare buttocks?

@MrMosquito

we have received very few genuine complaints other than those who disagree which it in principle.

It’s good to know, at the least, that you regard disagreeing with the concept in principle as a genuine complaint; it is exactly the principle of the thing that is problematic.

Based on the behavior of a small subset of the youth population, you responded by inventing a device which causes area denial to an entire demographic. And then, with fear as your primary marketing tool, you’re selling these things at £500 each.
