Incident
Just last night, a large police presence swarmed a local street in Tang Hall, York.
Details are still unclear at the moment, but it appears a delivery driver and a local family were involved in a dispute.
The exact nature of this incident is still unknown, though it may be connected with Tang Hall being a location featuring strong support for the recent ‘Raise the Colours’ campaign sweeping England.
A few hours after the dispute, five vehicles arrived at the home of the family involved. They carried a number of armed men, allegedly Muslim.
At least eight in total, all allegedly armed, some with knives and machetes.
However, during their cowardly attempt to intimidate, or perhaps do worse, to the local family, an unidentified and hitherto uninvolved neighbour threw a brick through the window of one of the attackers’ cars.
Around the same time, police arrived in force.
At least four vans and an unknown number of cars, appearing on the street.
Yet their response did not seem to be focused on pursuing the would-be intimidators. Or if it was, it was an incredibly poor attempt.
According to locals, the armed men fled shortly after the police arrived.
The police neither gave chase nor searched any of their vehicles in the short time the attackers and police were both on the street.
One resident, who posted about this incident on Facebook, even claimed that police threatened them with arrest after they stepped outside with their dog, telling the officers to leave.
An entirely understandable reaction, given the police’s show of force seemed to be more geared towards intimidating the affected locals into silence, rather than protecting them and easing their fears after such naked intimidation.
Balkanisation
Balkanisation: The division of a multinational state into smaller ethnically homogeneous entities.
This situation exemplifies the growing fragmentation within our society, characterised by the presence of organised groups of individuals who appear to intimidate residents. These groups operate with a degree of impunity.
Meanwhile, the police response focuses on heavy-handed suppression of the very people being targeted, rather than addressing any local resistance to these roving thugs.
Could it be that the police are unaware that their actions may lead the public to believe that a collective, civic response is essential to counter the growing sense of disorder?
