Moped-riding thieves murder man for his Rolex watch.
Discussion
Danny Pearce, 31, was shot at and stabbed by two men riding a scooter who demanded his watch as he left a jazz bar in Greenwich with his girlfriend and some friends. After he refused to hand it over he was pursued by the attackers and stabbed repeatedly with a kitchen knife. The assault only stopped when his girlfriend handed over the watch as Mr Pearce lay bleeding to death in the doorway of a house he had tried to seek refuge in.
A man arrested in connection with the death of a man stabbed in the street has been charged with murder. Danny Pearce, 31, had his Rolex watch stolen in the attack in King William Walk, Greenwich, on 15 July.

The government? how?
Surely the sorting out needs to begin at birth with the parents
For a start get more police with guns actually just dealing with mopeds, if they haven't already. And maybe instead of selling houses to the richest Russians, look at the half of London who live in poverty, and try to stop this sSurely the sorting out needs to begin at birth with the parents
t at the source.'' More than half of the 2.3 million Londoners living in poverty are members of households in which someone is earning money, research has found''
Luckily i don't live in London and can walk around without a moped person killing me.

How are you defining 'living in poverty'? The 'will die if don't steal' kind of poverty or the 'kids having to share an iPad' kind of poverty?

Oh they pinch them, seems obvious now we know.

Hmmm...indeed...how would a criminal thief obtain a moped? Maybe PCP?

I'm not sure about PCP but I'm pretty sure a finance company called the taxpayer offer something like it called Universal Credit which is a 'buy now pay never scheme.' eta
Oh they pinch them, seems obvious now we know.
Unfortunately for dindus the application time is 6 weeks so it's easier just to help themselves to one of the taxpayer's 'demonstration fleet' so they don't wear their trainers out walking to their next shopping trip, where all goods will be offered on interest free credit, again funded by the taxpayer finance co.
Sadly they have a fairly strict underwriting criteria and only accept unemployed wasters for this scheme, so most PH types are unable to achieve the kumquat smashing mother of all deals on a brand new Golf R with zero deposit, zero payments, no insurance cost, free petrol for life, and a replacement car available whenever you feel like it. Apparantly the RS6 is also available on the same terms.

Here's a nice statistic on moped crime
''From June 2016 to 2017, London suffered 16,158 crimes involving powered-two-wheel vehicles, up from 5,145 in 2016.''
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-418222...
So an increase of 3 times in a year yet the government is powerless to act....

can you imagine arming both sides and the fall out in pedestrians
In 2014 a known drug dealer, riding a stolen moped, was being followed by the police. Not chased, just followed. He crashed his moped and died.
The police involved were under investigation for 3 years afterwards. They faced criminal prosecution or an end to their career and of course the stress of years of investigation.
If you were a copper, would you be making much of an effort to catch moped criminals if that is what awaits you?

I wonder why, for the time being at least, this sort of crime seems pretty isolated to London? I've certainly not heard of this sort if thing happening around my neck of the woods.
The Met had a no pursuit policy against scooterists after the drug dealing scrote Hicks fell off and was killed during a pursuit. Assume because other forces are actually arresting scumbags rather than letting them have at it unopposed in GTA: London 'cheat mode=no wanted level.'I know this is a stupid questions that probably doesn’t have an answers
Why are they doing this on mopeds? If you’re stealing a bike why not something fast, is it because they’re easier to ride?
Is there a reason why is it all of a sudden it’s gone mental or is it all just a sign of the times?

The 'drug dealer' was selling cannabis,had about 200 quids worth so not exactly Pablo Escobar, and had been stopped over 80 times, so sounds like the police can some sort of grudge against him, a good suggestion would be legilise the drug, and from the tax revenue use it to spend police resources on people who actually kill people.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
