We know what it's coming to, aog, and why. We just dare not say it.

[bazwillrun]

Saw the headline online somewhere else and already knew the sort of people that would be involved before i even had to click the link to go to the story...yet again I was correct.

It's not even safe in your back garden, or sheltering from the rain in this country annoy more!
What does the government do? Slash the police budget!

Was rather obvious was'nt it. You only have to read " knives or machetes" and it becomes quickly apparent "what sort of people" are involved. Those who abide by the law of the jungle.

[Henrietta]

Hmm.. Not too sure exactly what people are insinuating but to me it looks like the white guy with the helmet is brandishing the knives and not the black youths on bikes.

To the op. Unfortunately in this age of gratuitous violence and marauding criminals anywhere can become a "battleground" when rivals/enemies meet so it pays to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings for this and many other reasons.

[boxtops]

Let's hope they are identifiable..... when law-abiding people like me are prohibited for taking knitting needles on an aeroplane, this is an appalling thing when people can walk about the streets with weapons like that.

[Henrietta]

We all are.

[tamborine]

In the vid, someone shouts "Azis", hmmm......

[Henrietta]

Really tamborine?

I heard "Hey dean" and 24 seconds and again at 29 seconds

At what time did you hear "Azis"

[tamborine]

Around 00.30, 3 times

[TWR]

What's the deterrent? I'm not afraid to say it but a rope comes to mind, also the birch, then you have the Do-Gooders shouting, have a heart! tell that to the victims family.

[Baldric]

It was Azis that was shouted not Dean!

[Henrietta]

I've just used by noice cancelling headphones to make sure and that was the afore mentioned "Hey Dean" I highlighted at 29 seconds and it was said only once.

How did you manage to mistake that for "Aziz"?

[Henrietta]

"Hey dean, remember man's out here you p*ssyhole"

[sp1814]

Yes, it is safe to walk in the park.

I've just come back from an afternoon in Highbury Fields.

A very pleasant day.

[Dolly1308]

In case you hadn't noticed sp1814 you are not perceived as being white therefore slightly safer than if you were white. No offence intended .

[janbee]

Yes, crime is on the rise and the government cuts back on the Police budget and reduces the amount of officers and Forces we now have. I don't think there is now anywhere in this country that is 100% safe.
