Rob Hughes said: ‘I don’t like violence but I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a bit pleasing. I don’t know the context but those kids don’t seem like they’re fighting the good fight.’
Paul Jones said: ‘I’ve been that kid. Backing away, being harassed and fearful. The release in standing up for yourself is massive.’
