Manchesters newest gang member

And this makes her a gang member why ? At that age it could have been some kind of mental illness that made her do it, not saying that makes it right, does seem strange though :shrug: But gang member, I think the title needs updating a bit.

Quite. Purple jackets, eh? The streets of Manchester won't be safe until she's safely put in a nice beige cardie.

I bet the person giving the description was under 25..Anyone over 40 would be described as old.:)

Practically every single person out there is potentially "dangerous".
Mabey as alluded to in the 2nd post the old biddy has some form of mental illness etc?
Not suggesting for a sec that she should`nt be tracked down and dealt with accordingly,but ......."gang member":erm:

Actually very logical.

At that age, it's a choice between food and heating - and the food aint that great. A ready meal from M&S being a monthly treat. Ten years for armed robbery. Free food and heat in prison - can see out your days in comfort. Or, if you managed to escape with a few grand and are never caught, free food and heat - can see out your days in comfort.

Win, win :shrug:

I hope so, a knife will kill you whether the person holding it is 7 or 70.

Re: Manchesters newest gang member
 
One of the articles reported it as "small knife", so maybe a vegetable knife or spud peeler, as oppose to a foot long hunting knife, say. Looking on the positive side, and as you know, I always try to do this, it could have been a knitting needle - very nasty in the wrong place.

Or... and im being crazy here... the title was a bit of fun!!! Based on the fact that every crime in Manchester is supposed to be gange related.

I thought you had put an ignore flags on my posts bopdude - I thought that was a great idea.

Bless her, you don't know what was going through her head, someone metioned that she may have been suffering from some sort of menal illness, I hope when they catch her they give her some help instead of slamming her in a cell.

Help!!! 18-02-2008 23:58

Call me cynical, and I'm sure recent advances in joint replacements can do wonders for mobility, but I doubt she's up there with the likes of Owens. Probably figured that someone would catch up with her. Life huh - had she be laden down with tens-of-thousands, she would no doubt have been caught.

Old people are not as helpless as they first appear - they might not be able to hear a word you say to them when you sit next to them on the sofa, but they can hear the 'ching' of a tea cup on a saucer from a good mile away and quickly request a nice brew... with a biscuit...

You need to give them more credit! :)

Don't know about that. My Granddad could here the ching of a whisky bottle on a glass from four miles away...

Personally I would rather these old folk were out doing armed robberies than on the roads - They are a nightmare!
