The pattern here regardless of the OP’s “I had better say that what they did was bad thing to do, I wouldn’t want anyone thinking I was a monster” comment at the beginning is that its not worth the time and effort, they are not worth the time and effort.
I suppose I did. Although what normal, right thinking person would think anything else?
Initially I didn’t think it was the best use of Police resource, seemed to be a political thing rather dealing with crime. It also gave them loads of publicity.
However, in hindsight, possibly I underestimated Plod? If their actions and publicly of searching their bins, prevented a lynch mob and a serious violent crime being committed, then that probably is a sensible use of their resources, as that would of tied up a lot of it.
Although I agree with the sentiment of Binners approach, these people probably do deserve a bit of a shoeing and I wouldn’t shed a tear or wring a hand if they got it. However, in reality it would not be the correct approach and would tie the Police even more.
