So people can't travel on public transport alone for fear they will be killed ? How was he trying to prove something?.. young people do go out late at night and come home late.. and kudos to him for not attempting to drive if he'd been drinking ..He shouldn't have been on a subway alone at 1:15 in the morning. What was he trying to prove? Then again, coming from a bar with a few drinks in him, he probably felt invincible.
Wow.
Hah!We live across the bay from San Francisco. There are parts of the city where I would not park a car. God help the tourist who leaves a package visible on the back seat, or any seat for that matter.
A parking garage near where I once lived has had the top floor taken over by tents. The city naively installed colorful toilet closets in the downtown. Had to remove them when they became living quarters or a convenient spot to sell drugs. Yuk!
I'm not too sure about Uber to be honest, much prefer to use a local taxi.It's a dangerous world. And there is Uber for those times when you drink too much.
Are there any plans in place to keep these liars detained?Fortunately I still live in a relatively safe area so I do go out at night if I want..
However just this week... An Eastern European in this country who had fooled the authorities into thinking he was a child refugee, who they have now discovered is at least 21, and with a 20 year sentence for murder in his own country which he dodged and escaped to the UK.. murdered one guy on the South coast.. after one went to help his friend from being bullied by the Illegal guy... They were totally innocent fellas, one was an aspiring Marine..out for an evening, when this lunatic approached them , and when one of the guys stepped into stop the guy arguing with his friend he was killed..
Another story just today... in Kent, ( Opposite side of London to me ) today.. a woman has been arrested after a Man in his 60's was found dead in the supermarket car park this morning , believed to have been killed for his Mobility Scooter...![]()
No but another more insidious story. Up to 1 in 4 of 600 child refugees.. housed in a hotel in Brighton have reported to have been kidnapped.Are there any plans in place to keep these liars detained?
One of the many reasons why I carry.One of many reasons I would never live in a place like that...
OMG! That is horrible and a much worse situation, it's heartbreaking.No but another more insidious story. Up to 1 in 4 of 600 child refugees.. housed in a hotel in Brighton have reported to have been kidnapped.
The media are saying that these kids have been kidnapped by child traffickers..
Dozens of asylum-seeking children have been kidnapped by gangs from a Brighton hotel run by the Home Office in a pattern apparently being repeated across the south coast, an Observer investigation can reveal.
A whistleblower, who works for Home Office contractor Mitie, and child protection sources describe children being abducted off the street outside the hotel and bundled into cars.
“Children are literally being picked up from outside the building, disappearing and not being found. They’re being taken from the street by traffickers,” said the source.

It has also emerged that the Home Office was warned repeatedly by police that the vulnerable occupants of the hotel – asylum-seeking children who had recently arrived in the UK without parents or carers – would be targeted by criminal networks.
About 600 unaccompanied children have passed through the Sussex hotel in the past 18 months, with 136 reported missing. More than half of these – 79 – remain unaccounted for.
The shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, described the revelation as “truly appalling and scandalous” and called on the government to reveal how many children had disappeared and what was being done to find them.

I agree Tish.. much as we don't have the infrastructure or space to house all these Minors, so our Govt had no right taking them in, in the first place ... the Govt apparently are showing little interest in discovering who is behind these kidnaps... much less look for these children..OMG! That is horrible and a much worse situation, it's heartbreaking.![]()
If you were to cross the river would you take the Colgate ferry across the Hudson?This is nothing new in New York, and as a result, I refuse to cross that river anymore to shop or go to a Broadway show. Place is impossible now.
