walsall mayhem

Well, thanks to a friend of a friend of a friend who nicks stuff i have my own copy of the walsall mayhem DVD that is currently making the rounds. For those who dont know, this is basicly a collection of security camera footage of fights in the walsall area from about 98-2000, many are involving some serious punch ups with major injurues.

Basicly its like bumfights in walsall but with pissed up chav's beating the living daylights out of each other for no reason.

This DVD has not yet been released to the world via the medium of the internet, or at least not to my knowlage. I dont know where the original came from, who who edited the original soundtrack on it (these security cameras have no mic's so some music was implimented over the top) all I do know is that is current method of distribution is by copied DVD. One person will copy the disc and pass it to 10 people then those 10 people will make more copies and so forth.

The quality really isnt anything to write home about, imagine long-play VHS, but worse. I plan to be ripping this disc and running it through some conversion filters to tart up the quality a bit and maybe even release a few clips onto the internet for all to see. The original discs and the full unedited version i think should really stay underground to the point of staying away from internet distribution even though it highlights the current situation of the country come fri/sat night in most major town/city centers around the country.

Maybe when i figure out exactly what to do with this footage and track it back to the source i will format it in a way that the general public in walsall town can get a feel of what is really going on when their back is turned and the dangers the town now faces from drunken idiots on a sat night.
