Most of those involved have already been released.

The police have the necessary powers to intercept, disarm and arrest these idiots before they’re brawling in public spaces.

So we need to ask why the police continue to fail to prevent crime.

The machete ban is still ridiculous and failing to address the actual causes of violence.

Break up these gangs. Take the idiots devices. Ban them from the internet. Split them up at school. Fill their free time with community service.

Hammer them into line with community expectations is what I’m saying. Before more end up dead.

Because the police can't read minds.
