Yes I agree with you they should be allowed to use the hose on them. It wouldn't really hurt them and would defend the firemen.

Perhaps educating them by taking them out and showing them what happens when they are called to a fire might have more effect than punishing them as nothing seems to work. I've seen posters saying that hoax calls cost lives but that doesn't get through does it.

Just because a victim and a villain are different colours doesn't mean an attack is racially motivated. Is there evidence that they attacked the firemen because they were white? Yobs are yobs whatever race or colour they are.
