Mr Pixelated strikes again.
What an absolute garbage image.
However,
On a more serious note. There are two homeless guys that carry knuckle dusters and are also prepared to use them on members of the public and within the homeless community. I’ve witnessed their threatening behaviour on several occasions. One was so cowardly to even threaten a homeless woman. Thankfully other people intervened.
I’m not going to mention names. Suffice, they are both well known to the police and probation service. Hopefully the police will aprehend these clearly dangerous individuals before they can commit further offences?
