There is no way to explain or justify the senseless destruction.  Disguusting to see.  Best wishes in your future efforts.

It's been reported that Rod Stewart has donated 20,000 pounds to the club to help rebuild.

Some people are just costly trash.  After some time has passed, the perps may blunder their into becoming contributing members of society, but the cost of their redemtion can be tough to endure for current and future victims unfortunate enough to cross their paths.  Devastating.

Up to £50k has now been donated to this model club, the teenagers were caught in the act by the police. Interesting to see the punishment. There have been several cases of teenages smashing widows at heritage railway centres over the past month. Not sure what the world is coming to when 12 and 14 year olds do this kind of damage.

No, not just in the US, there are arse-wipes (and great people) in every country on the planet.

My experience includes similar in Mexico and South Africa, but the gun thing not as much since guns are harder to get there. No personal experience with the rest, but I'm sure there is a lot more.

Umm the US and other countries are no different when it comes to fights in the stands at pro sports stadiums. I'm also pretty sure muggings happen everywhere as well.

This was a particularly mindless act. 
That said, I just returned from the UK. The Underground  has cloth cushions on the seats.
Anyone care to guess on how long they would last here?
