Resident Local Hoodies

Four Eyes · May 2010

Anyone else noticed the presence of our resident bunch of Stroud Green hoodies hanging around lately?

They seem to be off/skiving/suspended from school at the moment because a band of about 4 of them are patrolling the streets during the daytime. I saw them this lunchtime trying car doors along Upper Tollington.

Ringleader looks like a skinny white lad (hood permanently up obv). I saw him being bundled into a police van opposite the White Lion a couple of weeks ago but he's stalking around the streets again.

Lock up your possessions...

Sounds like a job for GPN. I am an advocate of street justice and half-arsed vigilantisim.

Do you have an air rifle?

JungleFaceJake · May 2010

Now that Cameron is in number 10 maybe you should try and hug them...

That might just do the trick... or get you killed.. either way Cameron won't really give a shit

Four Eyes · May 2010

I wouldn't hug that sneaky little f***wit. Air rifle would be the way forward. Unless Dave wants to come up to N4 and hug him...

I've noticed them, at the top of Osborne Road, the group keeps getting bigger. I think they live in the flats there. They don't really give me any trouble, I live the other end of Osborne. They bother me though, they're too old to just be hanging around and going up and down the road on bikes. It's just a waste. I guess they'll be there all summer now. Feels like something could kick off.

I have a *minor* suspicion Dorothy that they're riding around on their bikes with a purpose, running some kind of errand maybe? Hence why they were bundled into a police van and taken away...

dion · May 2010

Um, why don't you get in touch with the police community team and see what they say? They have posted on here before but can't remember where...

Ease up chaps, they mat be my kids.

ADGS · May 2010

Well they're certainly not mine unless this is some weird-ass X-Men thing where a kid I've yet to have has come back from the future.

The Crime Rtae map is interesting http://maps.met.police.uk/index.php?areacode=00APGP

A while ago I read in the Safer Neighbourhood Team's newsletter about a residential burglary on UTP. The police arrived as the three burglars made off on their bikes, dropping stolen items along the way. One of them was identified leading to three arrests - the kids were aged 12 and 13.

They need a good beating. Where are all the Catholic priests when you need one?!

ADGS · May 2010

Like they'd leave it at a beating. But given the way the Catholic Church has still yet to be raided and shut down like any other paedophile ring would have been by now, maybe wandering priest squads administering punitive sodomy is one vigilante approach to youth crime which the police would be happy to overlook.

"resident local hoodies" Sounds like we need to setup a group like in Hot Fuzz, 'for the greater good'!

GET. A. JOB. (that's you dullards on here btw. sod the "hoodies")

yagamuffin · May 2010

@nesta I have one thank you very much. It's just that I get to sneakily surf the web whilst doing it.

sincers · May 2010

Ditto, 9 to 5.30 and everything! I too surf whilst in the office, although not-so-sneakily sometimes! plus I have at least one hooded top, am I in danger of getting shot with an air rifle?!

ADGS · May 2010

Perhaps Nesta means the sort of good, honest, old-fashioned job where netsurfing is impossible, like being a butcher. Well, unless you've got an iSteak.

Gas Powered Ninja · May 2010

I work in recruitment so job is a loose term really....

Sincers - I too have a hooded top, but only as a means of infiltration before striking from within.

sincers · May 2010

Like Reece Dinsdale in ID? Thats a great idea. We could ALL join in, burgle each others homes and then politely give each other our stuff back. It would confuse the hell out of the genuine hoodies and we could eventually dupe them into attending the knitting circle at the Nobel. Community Policing - SORTED!

Misscara - is your job something suitably exciting?

Sadly I'm sure it will be wall to wall self-service tills.

Damn Robots taking out jobs.

dion · May 2010

Damn them all for making our shopping cheaper

Ali · May 2010

At least 4 jobs for each self till installed. I assume most of the operational costs saved go to the company bottom line

sincers · May 2010

I might join you. Although could be tricky accessing vital SG.org information from the checkouts.

dion · May 2010

Yes, to the bottom line. And then the supermarkets all have to compete with each other by bringing down prices, therefore eroding their margins.

Howdy, Stranger!
