This week there was a suspected gang-related shooting less than half a mile from where I was working. One person was killed and the other critically injured.


Thios will seem a bit of a rant, but.....

The murder weapon at some stage would have been manufactured and sold for profit that would have been distributed to shareholders.

Therefore a number shareholders would have profited on the back of the murder. Therefore, shouldn't the weapons manufacturers, anbd every person who profitted from the sale of the murder weapoin be an accessory to murder and suffer the full consequence of the law - which is nothing compared with the victim and his loved ones?

End of rant bit.

On a matter of curiosity my local paper had a quote from a resident who was not allowed to pass the police cordon to return to her flat in the same place where the murder took place. My question is therefore, if the policedo not allow people to pass the cordon, and if uit means they have nowhere to sleep, who has the responsibility for providing and paying for temporary accomodation?
