For most of the summer drug dealers from the local firm have been staking out the corner of my street. Despite this clear intimidation a few weeks ago a neighbour noticed as Somali gentleman with a pram going around opening the porch doors of people's houses. If he found deliveries from an online retailer such as "Amazon" he would proceed to steal them.
Being an community minded fellow this neighbour called the police before getting into his car to discreetly follow this Somalian as he went on his rounds. The police eventually responded to the neighbour as he was sitting outside the old Reliance Security building - it now houses asylum seekers - which he'd watched the thief enter as if returning home. Unfortunately the local, Croydon, police found themselves unable to establish probable cause to enter said building and conduct a search which would have led to an arrest. However the neighbour was able to suggest that the police conduct the occasional drive-by patrol to deter the drug dealers. Miraculously the drug dealers somehow got the message that they were not welcome and vacated without the police having to officially do a thing.
Also I recently watched an Israeli documentary feature entitled "The Gatekeepers." Being a series of interviews with former heads of Shin Bet - Israel's internal security service - it is most certainly not a comedy. I did though find the sequence in which one interviewee described his collegue beating a terror suspect to death with a rock to be particularly 'amusing.' Obviously if I get the time I will need to give this film a further watch before giving it my endorsement or a full review. After all even my father was shocked to learn that the Jewish Underground were freed from prison.
Anyway I believe the pressure is now on Hamas to release a similar film examining their methods.
