York Idiots 2 - The Criminals Strike Back
Suspected criminals raided as part of Operation Drystone is a veritable minefield of idiocy and stupidity.

Bit disappointing - when I read the headline I thought they were going to be bricking them up inside their houses to rot!
Why? What about the headline made you think they might brick up peoples windows and doors? The “drystone” bit? Surely they would have used bricks in any case?

So where are these raids? On what streets?
Basically the police system works like this: innocent until proven guilty. That means that (as the title infers) those involved are suspects. Not confirmed criminals. It wouldn’t do to publicise the locations so you and the rest of the pitchfork rabble can gather up a mob and go and deal out “rough justice”. Its also entirely plausible some of the targets weren’t at home. Alerting them to the fact that they are under surveillence in the media would sort of be unconstructive. I don’t know, I struggle with this PR/Justice trade off.
Its Get The Blighters! though that really gets the anti-crime wigs wobbling in the face of common sense.

Sharia law! Back to the Stone Age!

How come all the drug users in York know where to buy drugs from and the police do not ???
Good question - may it be something to do with the fact that drug takers take drugs?

Officers are to target so-called “quality of life” crimes like break-ins, drugs and anti-social behaviour which blight people’s lives and bring misery.So what have they been targetting in the past then, except motorists that is. This police force is diabolical
I know - its easy to forget that speeding is a crime and driving with a mobile phone glued to your ear is dangerous. I pay my road tax and obey the speed limits - never had a problem. There’s a lesson there somewhere.

They should be sent to prison for the first offence were they are trained in a trade and only released once they have qualified in the trade and have got a job to go to
I’m in, if you’re paying.
Tossers.
