Re: Pensioner attack

Re: Pensioner attack
Well, you can't make it plainer than that! And I agree with him. What a strange state of affairs that thugs and criminals can access the mighty arm of the law (at no cost to themselves) whilst the full weight of the law will be brought down on Joe Public.
Somebody was asked if they would intervene if they saw an incident. They said they wouldn;t because either they would get stabbed or if anything happened to the perpetrators they would find themselves on the wrong side of the law and they would be in trouble. What a sad and sorry state of affairs.
There was some clown on the TV this morning, a member of the bleeding heart brigade, saying it was a result of the cuts in police budgets and blaming poverty. There are other parts of the country with the same problems but they are not running around knifing and stabbing each other. My view, for what it is worth, is that this is a cultural problem based on gangs and probably fuelled by a drugs culture. The rise of rappers who glorify crime and violence amongst young impressionable people simply adds to the intent.
My thoughts..............I bet Stephen wishes he hadn't asked.

Re: Pensioner attack
Not at all Foxy. We all have our own views. But I agree with you.
My view of this is the same as the gentleman in the video, your home is your castle, and anyone who enters it enters at they're own risk.

Re: Pensioner attack
why is it the little s*d in these reports is always a model son/father/uncle - (this one a gentle giant)? Never has the murderer done society a favour.
This one was a career criminal conning people out of £1000's

That's not something that generally seems to prevail with our police forces.

Re: Pensioner attack
This particular family were very well know by Kent police as habitual criminals. It's what they do for a living.
My son works for Kent Police and knew them immediately by name.
There is a high prevalence of 'traveller' families in Kent who unfortunately seem to have forgotten how to travel.
No doubt his funeral will be attended by hundreds and they will have the full horse drawn carriage and all the trimmings, costing thousands.
As for the surge in knife crime in London, Tottenham MP Lammy was complaining just a few years ago about how young people in his area were being unfairly stopped and searched by the Met. Blatant racism, he called it.
So, they cut down the searches and the crime rate soars.
No s*it Sherlock!
When ever there is an incident like Grenfell, all we hear about is the 'community'
The 'community leaders this The community leaders that'
So, where are the 'community leaders' when their young people are murdering each other?
Suspiciously quiet.

Plug the door handle into the mains instead. That slows down the average intruder.

It'll definitely be 'Red' Leicester if anyone tries to get into our tin can.
