We recently echoed the complicated situation in the UK with motorcycle thefts, more specifically in London, where they have shot beyond any reasonable limit, and it is not only the brutal increase of these crimes but also the way in which they are committed and the subsequent dissemination of the ‘war booty’ through social media, which is outraging and frustrating staff.
While the indignation of Londoners increases a lot, through MCN we have been able to know that apparently the Chamber that governs the capital would be considering rebounding this competition by english army given the impossibility of the police force to tackle the problem. A body today questioned, criticized and lacking means.
A process of pure English logic
The signs of indignation of London society follow one another as a result of the excessive escalation of motorcycle thefts, which in turn are used to perpetrate other crimes. This whole spiral is pulling things out out of all reason.
The threats, the increase in violent attitudes and the unsuccessful measures of a police force that apparently has its hands tied in the matter (in addition to suffering cuts, they are prohibited from pursuing these criminals on motorcycles through the city) is leading to city government to seriously consider deploy the British Army over urban terrain.
With the data from The Sun that we shared recently and that accounted for 8,132 crimes in which at least one scooter was used as an escape vehicle during the first months of 2017 (which means an increase of 1,000% in the past three years) it's no wonder they are seriously considering taking such a step.
The last anecdote of English humor (if we can call it that because of its extreme acidity) has been paid by James may (ex-'Top Gear', and current host of 'The Grand Tour'). Through an article in Drivetribe, May addresses London society stating that "the problem of these thefts must be tackled at their source: killing thieves"He argues that he has come to that conclusion not through frustration, automatic reaction, or powerless rage, but rather through a process of "pure logic".
A logic that puts the spotlight on the motive for crimes, in which the thefts that are committed "are not out of necessity but out of sheer greed." In addition, it also highlights the way in which they are committed "threatening people with electric tools or machetes", even in broad daylight or at home.
Finally, May brings out the impossibility of the authorities and the courts to summon these criminals to be tried effectively, the real problem of the whole thing. A justice system that would allow known or repeat offenders not to run away after each arrest would be the best way to deter future crimes, rather than taking the army out onto the streets and without going to the absurd end of considering killing them.
