It's a thing in Albania, if someone kills one of your family, you have to kill them back. A blood feud. I remember reading it was causing the population to dip at one point.

As for this video, there's a boy who looks like he's in his teens and hasn't left the house for ten years because he'll get killed. And a mother who said something like: "we forget about this until my son is 20, then we talk again".

And the guys who said: "If you buy this house, you will have problem with us".

Proper hard bastards, in tracksuits.

It is a bit slow in places but I found it evocative of the region. You could skip the first 30 seconds.

It’s odd that he owns an anorak.

It's their way of life, their culture and clearly they like it that way, all of them.

If they didn't like it they wouldn't do it would they. It's on a par with the Scots and the SNP and Wee Krankie. They (the Scots) profess to hate the fuckers but keep voting for them.

Now't as queer as folk.

Nothing major. Just a bit of modern slavery, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, cannabis farming, money laundering and murder.

But t is their culture, you MUST be sensitive to their culture!

Take a look at Boston and Spalding in lincolnshire, it’s all there to be clearly seen

And that doesn’t take them to heel, bring out the big guns of a Twitter pile-on!

I think technically they're white, so modern convention says that you don't need to respect their culture.

It sounds like some things do need to change there though, what they need is some people to go out into the town, loot some of their shops and throw their statues into the river, that'll learn 'em.

There is a bronze in Shkodër which is said to be somewhat homoerotic.

Yeah, but they're Slavs which is a different white than us. So different culture innit, Like the Poles, Romanians and other assorted Eastern European criminals we let in to the UK. If their culture is to be violent criminals we have to respect that.

I'm not sure if they are Slavs. In the north they're Ghegs and Tosks in the south. All with Illyrian ancestry IIRC.

They were conquered by the Serbs, then became part of the Ottoman empire too.

It's all a load of shite really, isn't it.

If the victim's family were really hell bent on revenge, they'd go round that lad's house, force their way in, take him out and kill him in front of the rest of his family, rape the women and make soup with the kids. Why should they wait for him to turn up at Tesco's? Are they scared? Do they not really believe in this 'blood feud shit?

If you're gonna take revenge, just go and do it, like the Pony would.

Fuckin' half arsed avenger shit. They may well have been conquered by the Serbs but they didn't learn anything from them. Serbs know how to be nasty.

Am I the only person to read the comments on the video? There's a chap says it was his grandfather that was murdered by the young man's father. He never missed a day at school and the family went about their daily business and usual. The video is from 2013.

Wikipedia suggests it's pretty Slav free.

Well so is Sicily, but they still have vendetta

So I get it, if I was going to cause someone some serious GBH then I wouldn't go around to his old mums house and drag the lad out screaming and do it in front of his old dear, that's really going too far.

Obviously you'd start by "borning his traylor"

Well, on a serious note some people are fucking savages, literally, they have no morals or standards at all, not necessarily forriners or pikeys, they could equally be indigenous feral scum that will set fire to your mums hallway because you thumped them a few days before.

At least these Albanians have some sort of code of ethics, they'll murder you but not in front of your old mum or in her drum.

The Taliban have a code of ethics too. It is a shite code that I would like to see eradicated.

I had tremendous respect for the Talian soldiers, I fundamentally disagreed with their philosophy but they were mostly brave men that fought for what they believed in and usually in circumstances where they were significantly disadvantaged.

You could use that to justify any country's armed forces/terrorist groups/insurgents that are engaged in asymmetrical warfare. At a stretch you could use it to justify the atrocities of the Waffen SS, Japanese armed forces and the Red Army in WWII

The IRA were resistance fighters to the Plastics in New York and Boston.

Funnily enough I was having this exact conversation over lunch today with a chap I'd never met before, but he had also served in Afghanistan.

I have never been there, but if I understand it correctly.
1) Blood feuds are not unknown, tribal feuds are commonplace. Might is right, and the law is winner take all.
2) Women have a status that is some way less than ideal.
3) However, turn up as a stranger and ask for hospitality and it will be given. Food, shelter and protection, you are their guest. Tomorrow, a few miles down the road, it reverts to option 1) and they will cheerfully kill you.
