I know, but there have already been gangs of boozed-up vigilantes on the streets in Manchester looking for an excuse to club a hoodie. Best to just steer clear of talk of violence altogether I think.

While the police may have been criticised for not being more proactive on the streets, the one thing they are very, very good at is gathering evidence online and from CCTV and then kicking people's doors in at 5am on a Sunday. Personally I want to steer many miles away from posting anything on the interwebs that might give them an excuse to pay my front door a visit. It's not very old and wouldn't look great hanging off its hinges.

(EDIT) and yes, as Sparkie says, in any case it was a general warning, not aimed at anyone in particular.
