Why The Huge Manhunt For Two Men Hving Fisticuffs?

[youngmafbog]

So no terrorism, no pagga, no shots fired just two people having what appears to be a brief altercation. This happens all the time, why is it being attributed to a stampede? Something really doesnt sound right.

And why the huge effort, I thought they were short of Police so much so they dont have manpower to investigate real crimes like burglary?

Maybe they should be investigating this Oily chap who seems to have spread fake news and fear by that well know tool of the devil TwitFace?

[youngmafbog]

A pagga is a large brawl, usually fought with fists/heads/bottles etc

[youngmafbog]

No TTT, they dont seem to be interested in that just these two throwing punches at each other.

Very odd.

[emmie]

can only think that as we have been the target in recent months any sort of ruckus has people, police on high alert.

it doesn't happen all the time; in all my years I've never seen a fight on a Victoria Line (or any other) platform. I would have thought it was a useful exercise to find out exactly what happened and exactly how it ballooned into a possible terror/gang incident. For instance, there are supposed to be buttons on the platforms where you can summon staff to incidents; did this happen?

[youngmafbog]

Well I have jno. Maybe you should get out a bit more?

[emmie]

jno
not sure those buttons are in operation any more, then again can't remember last time i travelled by tube.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, tension is heightened and that can lead to instant panic where it isn't needed.

It's important to analyse how these situations snowball and learn from them.

[anotheoldgit]

Seems they have handed themselves in.

[Mamyalynne]

Pictures were very clear, so they've done right.

[youngmafbog]

And just what can they be charged with? An affray?

Ridiculous.

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not sure quite how you think the emergency services should have responded to a flurry of calls reporting everything from fighting,suspicious packages and loud bangs?

Ignored it?

[youngmafbog]

I have not said anything about the initial response anywhere. Have I ? Please dont put words in my mouth.

[Hopkirk]

Well the government has been pushing the 'run, hide, tell' message, so you can't be surprised if people get spooked.

[Mamyalynne]

Apologies then.

Not sure what if anything they can/will be charged with ,but their account of what happened may be useful to ascertaining why things escalated so much.
