Danny G Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Prestons? the faintest sign of trouble and all of their stuff will be thrown in the vault. I am thinking Currys and...... well the only other shops I can think of in the town centre are bookies and pound shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no balls Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 You can get shot gor having something that looks like a gun, he had an actual gun. Fair game? It's still a bit sketchy but have I heard right he wasn't in the mini cab when he was shot but his gun was? I'm not comfortable with this "fair game" idea. I must be a bit of a leftie.

Globetrotter Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 It's unlikely that anybody will ever know what happened in or around the mini cab but after seeing that last night I am afraid I am also in the 'fair game' camp. I am also uncomfortable with the idea of armed police fir all kinds of reasons but let's be honest if you roam the streets with a gun there is a good chance that things won't turn out too well for you in the long run. Some community chap on tv earlier was saying that these young uns now talk about expected life span of just 25 yrs - they are frightened of nothing ... Talking generally here and don't pretentious to know the ins and outs of the case with thus Duggan lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter superjohnmcginlay Posted August 9, 2011 Site Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2011 He didn't fire but had a gun that was adapted and had a bullet in, The family are saying it's unacceptable behaviour, to shoot an innocent man yes it is but that family have to ask the question if they deem it acceptable to be carrying a gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 anybody else thinks it's a bit bizarre that the police seemed to have sat back and let 'em get on with it? When faced with a bunch of hippies, girls and sociology students a few months back they were in there cracking heads for fun. Well it is the dogooders who are at fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawley Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Now I'm no hardnan, far from it, but in Fitzrovia they started shutting places at 4, why I don't know. Sure enough the work shy decided to get home lest they be set upon by feral scrotes. One bloke lives in a farmhouse in Guildford, I hardly think he's going get mobbed down a country lane. Anyway by half six no one left but me, and I've had the easiest journey back. If my office was based less centrally then fair enough but I've never seen such an overreaction to get a hour off work in my life. Blitz spirit? Last in the office was me, a French bloke and an Aussie. Southerners, pah! As for Barking, no one will notice any damage but I expect a song by Bragg soon written from his house in Devon.
