Is it just me, or have things got worse recently ?
Two separate shootings at the corner of Wightman and Turnpike lane. Two separate shooting incidents at Turnpike Lane Station. Man stabbed to death on Station Road. Man arrested after threatening police with a machete near the Arena.
What is going on ?
Oh that's all right then. Finsbury Park Ranger will be along soon to tell us again that it's a waste of police resources to target drug dealers.
The pedestrianisation of the end of Graham Rd by the tube has had some interesting consequences. I always say that the passage is a crap place to deal drugs or mug people but that looks ideal. Lots of space for you and your mates, room for getaway cars, an alleyway at either end, the green for running across and the safety of the tube station if things go pear shaped. If you are at that location you have so many options to get away; perhaps they could look into some design solutions rather than just moar police officers.
So you just move the dealers somewhere else instead of dealing with the problem ?
Maybe, on conviction, dealers should be transported to New Zealand ?
No you're missing the point. I think the design of that area lends itself to crime at the moment.
And a stabbing at the junction of Green Lanes and Station Rd. Police are treating it as a murder. What is going on around here? I fear reprisals and a spiral effect
9:30pm - and we were told at that public mtg held by the police that they had a dedicated team for Turnpike Lane (covering that time period). Graham Rd is in pretty much a dead end area as far as the road network is concerned so it really shouldn't have been difficult for the police to surround them. That machete attack on the other hand saw a stream of police vehicles head towards the scene. I really don't get it.
Just as a side point, how come this whole scene was filmed/framed by someone's window webcam. Looks all a little too neat.
