I posted a CL ad warning of the situation, looks like at least one person joined and possibly the perps saw it. SO we should assume they are here. If they get away with it, IT will only get worse kids...
Save as much info as you can remember, addresses, names, phone #, descriptions, tattoos - whatever you saw before it gets forgotten. Gotta love the English system of law, if it gets written down - it gets saved, and even years later the 'bad guys' can get their payback. Violent crime is always a priority, some warrants never expire. The cops are getting pretty sophisticated with warrants. And they have investigative rights that make it easier. FOr example, there was an apartment, cops can find out who it's leased to, who owns the phone#, they can find out a lot of stuff we can't, question/charge people who facilitated the perps...
If some cowboy fights back and gets knifed - then LE will become veeeeewy interested in ALL this stuff. Or worse, some pooner packs a blade and mis-judges a situation or over-reacts. I know, unlikely - but possible.
Find the correct ear in LE and tell the story... Then tell us who that ear is...
