Internet mocks ‘tooled-up’ West Ham kids firm
Police have been alerted to a tweet uploaded on Friday, threatening travelling Everton fans. The thread of five kids brandishing weapons has gone viral.
A tweet posted ahead of West Ham’s home game against Everton in which five kids, some of whom were pictured holding home-made weapons, went viral over the weekend. The photograph shows five school kids trying their best to look menacing in a back alley; one glowers with a baseball bat, the lad next to him is shown holding a rusty old bill hook - apparently, for the first time.
Underneath is a threatening message: “Everton, we’ll be waiting for your boys tomorrow COYI (Come On You Irons)”.
No weapon? no problem
