I live Hartlepool. I live less then two miles from Murray Street where the mosque was attacked.
Hartlepool isn't known for its diversity. When I moved here four years ago it was actually one of the first things I noticed. In the last year we've had asylum seekers housed in

Murray Street and surrounding streets are full of smackheads and ASBO neighbours from hell. Ask the shops on Murray Street how bad they get it from shoplifters, none of which are asylum seekers.

Involved was the Syrian male who tried to stop him but got a slap for his effort. So to me they get a lot of respect as all I did was call the cops and stayed a safe distance.
As for the riot, I didn't even know about this riot until a friend on here made me aware of it.

I've been naughty. An Audi untaxed has been parking on our street, exhaust & radio up full. Doesn't live on our street nor estate, parks here as his estate gets the DVLA van patrolling. Wasn't going to report it for no VED until Tuesday when he called a 'large" female cyclsist

4 years fully justified however as we've seen recently plenty of motorists actually have killed pedestrians some given suspended sentences & some got about the same tarrif for this offence.
Is the judiciary system looking more favourably at offences if the victim are police?

Last month alone there were three cases were motorists have killed pedestrians on the footpath and the motorist has walked free from court with suspended sentences.

DVLA have been out and about on the estate, 4 cars booted with wheel clamps (no VED) and one van with trailer, booted the van, parked the trailers hitch at the front bumper of van and clamped the trailer too, that's on an estate with 11 streets
