Of course, its a five minute read at most (for those challenged), more like less than 60 seconds for everyone else..
Both posts probably symptomatic of my next point.
Ummm.
They like so many publicaly funded (and voluntary) community service groups are under resourced and therefore unable to deliver to the wide range of (un prioritised) community expectations (its a priority based system after all unless you want more taxes - you do want more taxes don't you?) demanded by an increasingly educated, but without understanding the difference between rights and responsibilities/ entitlements, critical, self centered, uncompromising, instant self gratification seeking and demanding community. Police can only apply a triage system to deal with this. Also not sure what naming the manufacturer of the vehicle the miscreants arrived in (other than we know you are a Ford mechanic) has to add to the point you try to make.
While I don't condone the pointless and cruel actions by those you (and any self respecting moral and ethical self effacing people) rightfully despise, shit caning the Police in this manner is a low point (and disappointingly so) in your normally reasonable and rationale posting record.
On the other hand, they (Police) are by all accounts hot on the trail of the Deer head for ice crims.
So, on balance, how would you prioritise limited Police resources?
