Wait for AOG to post moaning that there is a reward to catch the white murderser, but no such reward to catch the black, Oxford Street murder.

[DrFilth]

think the reward is the least they can do after the father of this poor young man found out about his sons death on facebook

Shot in the head at point blank range! Manchester seems to be awash with violent scum these days.

[Craftypig]

Where are the police getting the 50K from, thought they were all skint?

[mightymouse]

If these scum are convicted, then life imprisonment it should be, and life should mean LIFE!

"gangster" isn't the same as "gang member". But in a world in which Jeffrey Archer remains a lord, I've never seen much point in complaining about who gets OBEs.

DrF, I'm not sure there's anything to be done about people finding out news on Facebook, or any reason to blame the police (they weren't the ones who released the news there). It's just the way things are these days, and the police have no way of controlling it.

Like most of what they attempt then.

[DTCwordfan]

the very offering suggests that they are still clueless, despite all the arrests.

"But isn't that ironic 'ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE'?"

I'm sorry, I don't understand why that's ironic, can you explain, please AOG?

With a number of potential witnesses, CCTV in a lot of places round there and the police local knowlege, I think they know exactly who it was (local news stand headlines have said as much), it's proving it and getting someone to speak up. It's been a problem for many local crimes where locals know full well who did it but no-one will assist the police in order to get a conviction.

"A Home Office study of south Manchester revealed that in 150 separate shooting incidents over a three-year period, only one witness came forward to testify".

Well allow me to explain;

Doesn't the very mention of the 'British Empire' hold visions of invasion, raping, pillaging, exploitation and slavery, for some?

If this is so, then surely the only course left to take would be to refuse any such labelled award?

/// "gangster" isn't the same as "gang member". ///

I think it is, so does Wikipedia.

Definition: A gangster is a criminal who is a member of a gang.

/// "Greater Manchester Police is also working very hard to bring the family over to Manchester as soon as possible.///

//// "For reasons beyond the family's control, it is unlikely they will be able to do so until early next week so the force is putting plans in place to send officers to India to offer support." ///

One must sympathise with the victim's family, but offering £50,00 reward to catch the killer, and now sending police officers over to India to offer support.

Isn't this all getting rather out of hand?
