Count to 10

According to the Daily Record, Scots gang members are to get anger management counselling...

Awww the wee diddums.
"Knife-wielding thugs will be taught to count to 10 to cool down instead of lashing out."
I am sorry, did I just read that right...
"Gang members will be encouraged to attend classes on anger management and "territorialism issues" as part of local projects which also involve football coaching, music, drama and other activities."
They say that this works, however I can't help but feel the wee ned bastards are missing out on something with this regime of understanding and reforming - like the punishment part...

The article tells us one gang in Glasgow was responsible for 450 crimes in 1 year - to the victims of these crimes, it must look like these kids are getting off a damn sight lighter than they should.

I'd be impressed if some of these yobs actually knew how to count to 10!
