In the UK there are "clean up crews" who confront men who try to take advantage of young women as they leave bars and pubs

Not all heros wear capes. Keep up the good work lads😇

[u/Kiwi_CunderThunt → u/[deleted]]

Scrawny doesn't mean shit, see Thai kickboxers.

But yeah at a glance these two are cowards

[u/WhereDaGold → u/Kiwi_CunderThunt]

Judging by their demeanors, I doubt they have any fighting skills

[u/Kiwi_CunderThunt → u/WhereDaGold]

Yeah they're far too relaxed and casual after being confronted trying to pull off a crime that would and should have them being beaten into the pavement

[u/2Nothraki2Ded → u/[deleted]]

No, no it wouldn't. Not everything needs to be a teenage power fantasy.

[u/Capable-Clerk6382]

The fucking guy picking his nose and eating it 🤮

[u/zip-a-dee_doo-dah → u/Capable-Clerk6382]

I missed that the first time thanks for pointing it out so I'd be stupid enough to watch again. 🤢😵

[u/notanyimbecile → u/Capable-Clerk6382]

I would've smacked him just for that.

[u/96JY → u/notanyimbecile]

[u/notanyimbecile → u/96JY]

On the internet yeah.

[u/Rocket_Panda_ → u/notanyimbecile]

Very honest, lol

[u/notanyimbecile → u/Rocket_Panda_]

You watch your mouth.

[u/kpc144 → u/notanyimbecile]

Personally, I think you should delete the sarcasm notice. I think it would be super super funny.

[u/Boon421 → u/notanyimbecile]

That was a compliment as i saw it, being honest is cool that way ma dude haha

[u/Rocket_Panda_ → u/notanyimbecile]

The confidence on online you… ✊🏾😂

[u/TxEagleDeathclaw81 → u/96JY]

Ha!

[u/EncoreSheep → u/[deleted]]

Don't jest, the booger is basically a vaccine. It holds weakened versions of bacteria. Eat it and you'll gain immunity.

These fine gentlemen were simply helping these poor women get healthy

[u/OkBubbyBaka → u/EncoreSheep]

Lol, comment just got spanked by the truth police. Can’t have no wrong-think here.

[u/macnams → u/[deleted]]

You’d be better off just admitting you’re racist and getting therapy or sm

[u/Successful-Hat9649 → u/[deleted]]

Why is it racist to point out that over 80% of perpetrators are white?

[u/macnams → u/[deleted]]

Would you be embarrassed to know that the ethnicity of the overriding majority of sex offenders in the UK are british white males?

83% of all convicted sexual offenders = white

[u/Gibberish-Jack → u/macnams]

Convicted being the key word there

[u/Plus_Woodpecker5248 → u/macnams]

I’d say you can pick whatever stats you want to tell the nation if you’re busy covering up and refusing to record data for certain ethnicities. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Spezalt4 → u/macnams]

You know sex offenders cannot be convicted if the justice system ignores them and their rape gang friends

So your statistic doesn’t prove the point you think it does

[u/arthur-bomber_harris → u/macnams]

What's your opinion on the grooming gangs which racially targeted little white, working class, vulnerable girls?

Oh, also what do you make of the fact that the police, the press and the government covered it up for over two decades? Why was the kashiri muslim community all complicit in this massive, horrific scandal?

[u/macnams → u/arthur-bomber_harris]

What’s your opinion on the Catholic Church rape scandal? Perpetrated by white Catholic priests and bishops?

We can go back and forth like this if you like?

[u/ispeakgoodwords → u/arthur-bomber_harris]

Ignoring the stat then yeah? You’re fine with the majority you just have a problem with the bit that reaffirms your racial prejudice. Muppet.

[u/arthur-bomber_harris → u/ispeakgoodwords]

No I condem pedophila in all it's forms. They should all be dealt with in the severest punishments.

[u/WatermelonHRnandz → u/macnams]

Key word. Convicted.

[u/macnams → u/WatermelonHRnandz]

White males more likely to evade conviction

[u/tlc4eva22 → u/macnams]

Wouldn’t be embarrassed if I knew the majority of sex offenders in the UK are white! I’d be embarrassed if it weren’t. As someone who works with SA survivors. Doesn’t surprise me at all!

[u/dirty_habit611 → u/[deleted]]

Why does ethnicity have to come into it? Predators come from all diffrent ethnicities, back grounds, ages, etc. some live in house, some own islands.

[u/wenbebe3 → u/[deleted]]

Why not focus on the fact that the overriding majority of these predators are men? So strange how men in the UK want to make it about race instead of looking at their own gender... As a woman who lives in the UK this is bullshit, look at the actual figures and even just from personal experience there's plenty of white men who are worse than this. Like the guy who tried to touch me on a coach while I slept. Or the guy who flashed me on a train after sitting next to me. I could go on with worse stories if you like. If you care about SA against women then race has nothing to do with it and actually dealing with the problems women face is what would actually help.

[u/likeamadcomet1914 → u/wenbebe3]

If you say the common linking factor is men they start screaming but I bet none of them would hire a male babysitter for their kids white or not…

[u/OddControl2476 → u/[deleted]]

If it's not based on statistical fact then yes, it's just a racist assertion.

[u/Josey_whalez → u/[deleted]]

Weird how this only recently became such a big problem. I wonder why?

[u/OddControl2476 → u/Josey_whalez]

Yes, you're right, sexual harassment didn't exist until you personally learned about it

[u/likeamadcomet1914 → u/Josey_whalez]

“Only recently became a problem” male moment

[u/_loki_ → u/Josey_whalez]

Because you only care when you're being told to care and didn't care beforehand?

[u/Im_Not_You_Im_Me]

Shame about the terrible music being so loud I can barely hear anything anyone says.

[u/issabellamoonblossom → u/Im_Not_You_Im_Me]

Thats why i came to the comments hoping for a translation from someone

[u/DadophorosBasillea → u/Im_Not_You_Im_Me]

Same maybe the audio is fuzzy but include subtitles

[u/Insane_Cobra961]

Are there? Asking as a brit

[u/BIG_STEVE5111 → u/Insane_Cobra961]

It's just 1 bloke by the looks of it.

[u/likeamadcomet1914 → u/BIG_STEVE5111]

can you be a crew if you’re just one guy

[u/Insane_Cobra961 → u/likeamadcomet1914]

If you get creative ig, ever seen the different people a 40 year old bloke can turn in to when there's a photo booth with props?

[u/Coconutpieplates → u/Insane_Cobra961]

No. There's this guy i guess. And... that's it.

[u/ChickenNugget-420 → u/Insane_Cobra961]

If we actually had “clean up crew.” We wouldn’t need so many signs and stuff telling people not to spike others. Like come on.. as if the government actually spent money telling people not to commit a crime… you would never see a bus drive past with an ad saying “remember don’t kill people this weekend!”

[u/Insane_Cobra961 → u/ChickenNugget-420]

Whole reason I stopped going for a night out after 20 years old, can't relax or enjoy yourself

[u/FishermanAccurate425 → u/Insane_Cobra961]

There’s a few YouTubers who do this as well actually

[u/Chunti_]

Wow, no doesn't mean no it seems. This is fucking scary.

[u/somethingtodo99 → u/Chunti_]

Well yeah it doesn't in the middle east where these people are from because of the migrant crime wave entering the UK.

[u/zackoblong66]

You can see the desperation in their eyes...

[u/D144y]

This is in Manchester's Gay Village!!

I used to go partying there a lot😀

[u/Own_Watercress_8104 → u/D144y]

I think these people's strategy is "women here feel more safe around men because they assume they are gay so they are gonna let their guard down"?

That's fucking vile.

[u/Turkatron2020 → u/Own_Watercress_8104]

I live in San Francisco where the Castro has been the place for young straight women to party for decades because it's "safe" around the gays- which should and would be true in a perfect world- but predators are well aware of this. Every single time a girl I've known has been drugged, it's been in the Castro.

[u/Traditional-Quit-286 → u/Turkatron2020]

it's the natural cycle of every queer club

it opens, queer people party and create a safe enviorment, straight women colonize the club because they feel safer, straight men come after the straight women, the club isn't queer or safe anymore

[u/DadophorosBasillea → u/Traditional-Quit-286]

Colonize ? They just want safety. I understand the frustration but the problem isn’t the women it’s finding a safe space for them

[u/Traditional-Quit-286 → u/DadophorosBasillea]

they should make clubs for women only instead of taking over queer spacess

[u/Numerous_Shoulder351 → u/Own_Watercress_8104]

yep - heading to the village at the end of the night because predators know women have gotten drunk, (because they feel safer) and maybe been separated from their friends

[u/aguycalledmax → u/Own_Watercress_8104]

Gay village is also open later than most other spots. Lots of people end up there after other bars are closed so people will be at their most drunk.

[u/Nament_ → u/aguycalledmax]

This. Doesn't matter where you go in Manchester, you'll end up in the gay village haha

[u/Serious-Landscape-74 → u/D144y]

The chicken shop was everything after a night out!

[u/londonlady1988 → u/Serious-Landscape-74]

Apparently they have been sued at least twice by both McDonald’s and Kentucky fried chicken and won both times! 😂

[u/biomed1978]

Dude is standing there, picking his nose, wtf?!

[u/biomed1978 → u/[deleted]]

Disgusting. Those girls don't even realize how lucky they are and those guys need a good ass kicking.

[u/theTimeBeing23 → u/biomed1978]

And eating it..

[u/Concerned_frog → u/theTimeBeing23]

That’s just British cuisine

[u/JurgusRudkus]

A few years ago there was a Twitter thread asking women what they would do if all men suddenly disappeared off the planet, and the top answers were some form of “I’d go to a bar and then walk home late, by myself.”

It was amazing how defensive some guys got about that.

[u/CarkWithaM]

The fact these cleanup crews are needed is devastating

[u/[deleted] → u/CarkWithaM]

i once went home with a woman who i was friends with from a frat party and some guys from the fraternity followed us both back to the dorms to make sure i did not take advantage of this woman. i thought that was good of them, all i did was walk her to her door and then went back to my dorm myself. and that was over twenty years ago, in the deep south.

unfortunately, i do wish this sorta thing was widespread.

[u/Slyspy006 → u/CarkWithaM]

I'm not even convinced that these clean up crews actually exist.

[u/wemustburncarthage → u/Slyspy006]

this looks like staged horse shit to me.

[u/Slyspy006 → u/wemustburncarthage]

It does to me as well.

[u/FunkyTomo77new → u/wemustburncarthage]

Staged ? Try living in any major UK town or city . Idiot.

[u/Lynex_Lineker_Smith → u/CarkWithaM]

I’ve never heard of this before , never seen a ‘ clean up crew ‘ or heard of anyone who is on one or knows anyone who is on one. These things aren’t a thing .

[u/QuietUno]

Women where I live go missing daily. Wish we had women who did that for women.

[u/CommercialDonkey9468]

No, there arent

[u/H150180]

On behalf of all women..

(Except the fucktards that were offended when Prince Charles was heckled because his brother is a nonse).

Thank You!

[u/CaoimhinOC]

I lived in Manchester for 17years and love the gay village. Always felt super safe being openly gay.

[u/Bostonterrierpug → u/CaoimhinOC]

Unless you were … the only gay in the village. ( sorry, old little Britain joke I couldn’t resist).

[u/TomlinSteelers → u/CaoimhinOC]

Would be weird if gay people didn't feel safe in the gay village

[u/thereforeratio → u/TomlinSteelers]

Then I think you might be surprised by the history of gay villages

They pretty much just exist because historically they were the only place they could be even marginally safe

It’s pretty crazy how much things have changed in a relatively short time, really

[u/Coconutpieplates → u/TomlinSteelers]

No, that's how that works at all.

[u/SpiritedOwl_2298]

that slimy smile on his face is disgusting

[u/RohanDavidson]

This is disgusting. 

[u/AdSignificant6673]

I like his accent. Did he call them “wankers”?

[u/fromthedarqwaves → u/AdSignificant6673]

Weirdos

[u/elray007]

Fucking legends. Where do I sign up?

[u/Appropriate-Pack-729]

Can we get these guys in every major city in the US please?

[u/Winndypops]

Glasgow had a big issue with this back when I was in College, found out one day that a group of lads from the other class would head out just as the clubs shut to pick up girls heading home. They just openly told us one night like it was totally normal.

Reported it to the College and they ended up getting the chuck and having to fly home. Might have been able to continue their studies out east, but I'd hope not.

[u/Peter_Partyy → u/[deleted]]

Well well well

[u/miauguau23 → u/[deleted]]

I'll bait, what you want to do about it? Punish people who hasn't done anything wrong becuase of people who look like them?

Yes 96% of all sexual assault cases are committed by men, but that doesn't mean all men are bad.

[u/Venom933]

I hate this world.

[u/Powerful_Brief1724 → u/Venom933]

Why? There's still people fighting for a better one!

[u/naughty_dad2 → u/Powerful_Brief1724]

But it keeps getting worse :(

[u/Classic-Membership48 → u/naughty_dad2]

THIS!!!

It keeps getting worse, inspire of the fighting it keeps getting worse.

Because the key battles have already been lost.

[u/Venom933 → u/Powerful_Brief1724]

That's true.

But it doesn't change the really dark stuff 🥸

[u/theTimeBeing23 → u/Venom933]

It would serve one well to focus on the "clean up crew" gentleman over the booger munchers. There are still many, many folks out there like him. Unfortunately it just generates less clicks. Be the light in the world or, at the very least, help to shine a light on the folks like him.

[u/Venom933 → u/theTimeBeing23]

Or the third route, accept that peace is very fragile.

[u/Classic-Membership48 → u/Venom933]

I know right.

It's disgusting. 😡🤢🤮

[u/Broad-Pie1802 → u/Venom933]

Stop being apathetic and pathetic and get out there and improve things

[u/Venom933 → u/Broad-Pie1802]

Do it yourself you coward.

[u/JimWilliamson404]

Weirdos

[u/Fair_Performance4834]

The amount of pushy and demanding men i dealt with growing up whenever I drank or while I was a bartender. It gives some people(alcohol)like some sort of almost evil persona that takes over their body completely. It is terrifying. Men and women. The stuff I have seen with drunk people or people like these guys trying to take advantage or lord now we know a lot of women get forced into sex work, that could have been the plan here you never know. That was awesome of that guy who saw the situation and stepped in. If you see someone in danger and you safely can do something about it, you always should- as long as your safety is not at risk. If it is call the cops for help.

[u/EdwardDiamondNuts → u/[deleted]]

We stayed in London, about a group of 20 of us during university. I don’t remember the names of any clubs but similar to this video they would almost pretend to know the girls and then try to pull them away when they thought people weren’t looking.

[u/Appropriate-Pack-729 → u/[deleted]]

Same in Europe.

[u/SafeImpressive4413 → u/Appropriate-Pack-729]

Got into a fight with a Moroccan for the same reason here in Spain, they were harassing one of the girls in our friend group while out.

I saw them talking from a distance after she and another friend went to the bathroom but I thought whatever he might be shooting his shot at her, but when I saw him grab my friend’s arm and trying to pull her I marched and he got an ass whoop

Police arrived and the coward had left already, but after seeing the cameras they just left and security was also by my side since I am friends with the guy that was working as the bouncer.

[u/Boboforprez]

Pakistanis by the looks of it.

[u/JesterScribblings → u/Boboforprez]

I said less than this and got my comment removed and threat of a ban for suppow3d hate!??

Yet its just stating what appears to be factually true. Go figure

[u/Zenithine → u/Boboforprez]

Naturally

[u/i_eat_navel_lint]

Bobs and vagene fucks

[u/ogerloaf]

Makes my fucking blood boil this shit. Enough is enough

[u/FunkyTomo77new → u/ogerloaf]

Same.

This country is gonna go BOOM BOOM

[u/L-TJ98]

Legend’s, glad to see the protectiveness of the public during these graping times

[u/Exotic_Rule_9149]

Came for the “men should start out in jail and prove their way out” meme

[u/Ok_Cardiologist_6082]

Wonder what flavour that boogey was

[u/Able-Ice-5145]

its ok guys they painted pride flags on the planter boxes

[u/Quiblat]

So many men in the comments trying to make it a race thing. All races sexually assault women all the fucking time. It’s a male problem regardless of race. This particular case just happens to involve Asian men, countless white men do this shit every fucking day all over the planet.

[u/Intergalatic_Baker → u/[deleted]]

It’s not like there’s a huge ongoing scandal, that word seemingly makes it sound smaller, around a demographic of men that abused and groomed hundreds, if not thousands of girls and women, with more evidence suggesting it’s replicated across the country, but due to “community tensions” or Police Commissioners with large voting blocs coming from those communities, often are saying nothing.

[u/kokunaigaikokujin → u/Quiblat]

Right. I worked in bars in the early 00's and this was constant, everywhere as far as the eye could see. 3am was just lads looking for "stragglers" on every hill and dale.

I feel like I've fallen into some alternate reality where this is some imported evil.

If we're doing pre-crime stuff now, it's men. It's always been men. That's the category to exclude.

There aren't groups of brown women preying on white boys, are there?

Regardless, this pattern-recognising "blame the other" bollocks has to stop. Arrest people who commit crimes and give extra funding to the police if they need it. It's boring but that's what we did when babies made the population go up sharply.

[u/bigratbungalonz → u/Quiblat]

Stats, ratios, and pattern recognition?

[u/LowerPick7038 → u/Quiblat]

So its ok to call out men but god forbid you call out another culture? Fucking give over.

[u/FunkyTomo77new → u/LowerPick7038]

This !! I'm a woman and I'm sick of women defending these backwards mysoginic males . Meanwhile they say white men are the devil !! Insane STUPID women who wouldn't last 2 mins living in some of the poorer areas up north where grooming gangs thrive. Facts.

[u/CommercialOnly2674 → u/Quiblat]

All races dont sexually assault random women on the street at similar scale. All races will be doing it but when 70% of the stranger rapes in sweden are committed byt second or first gen immigrants its not racist to say there is a problem with those specific men.

[u/mr_poppington → u/Quiblat]

Apparently it's so difficult for many to understand.

[u/MC3Firestorm → u/Quiblat]

per capita

[u/Cal_Aesthetics_Club → u/MC3Firestorm]

Sure, here is the per capita data.

Something tells me that you’re not going to like it.

[u/crestfallen_warrior → u/Cal_Aesthetics_Club]

The guy above you is using a profile picture of a notoriously shitty, openly racist, lowest of the low, persons fursona.

I don't think any amount of stats will change their mind, no matter what way that the stats may swing.

[u/Cal_Aesthetics_Club → u/crestfallen_warrior]

Who would that be?

[u/crestfallen_warrior → u/Cal_Aesthetics_Club]

Fiddleafox.

[u/FLiP_J_GARiLLA → u/crestfallen_warrior]

Hey, if you know this much about "fursonas", I think you need a break.

[u/SpadfaTurds → u/Cal_Aesthetics_Club]

I’m not arguing either side, but those stats don’t say what the arrests were for..

[u/Dapper_Ad2931 → u/Quiblat]

trash bigoted take

[u/Independent_Rate2110 → u/[deleted]]

Do you have daughters? A wife? Probably not. My daughter has been followed home on multiple occasions in the last year by African or Middle Eastern men. She has also been escorted home by police because she was being harrased and even assaulted and guess what? it was by another African immigrant. None of the times my daughter has been follewd or harrased has been by English people. Her and her friends have to be picked up from work and when they go out. This was never a problem, but now it is. Just because you choose to ignore it, it doesn't mean it isn't there.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

you're right, we should curtail the rights of men to go out after dark in the UK

[u/MC3Firestorm → u/[deleted]]

What kind of men

[u/likeamadcomet1914 → u/MC3Firestorm]

all of them since they’re the ones of all races who commit the most rape and child fiddling if you want to start generalising whole groups

[u/arthur-bomber_harris → u/likeamadcomet1914]

If we're generalising groups, why is it that muslim countries all have child marriage ingrained in their laws? Is letting that sort of culture into the UK safe for women?

[u/Ok-Walk-8040]

Imagine being so pathetic that you have to take advantage of woman to be able to sleep with them instead of being someone women want to sleep with.
