    @Grasshopper: legalise it and what need for weapons most fire arms crime is drug related and after decades of doing same thing and drug and fire arms offence increasing is it not time to take a different approach no one saying legalise guns but if you do the same thing over and over again to fix a problem why wouldn’t you expect to get the same result

    Just imagine that these goons thrive because, despite all the nosey-neighbours in tight-knit housing, nobody ever see’s nothing. And that’s how it is and that’s how it’ll always be.

    @Paul Culligan: Yea it’s that simple!

    Or could it be a case of open your mouth and then go warm your hands off the heat from your petrol bombed car because all your windows have been smashed in?
