That's a normal sight in London - normally more than 7 though. Anyway, as i went past i looked and saw something by one of these kids legs, and at first i though it was a branch from a tree or something, but as i kept going the street light lit it up and it was a fucking 4 foot samurai sword. They were just standing there wtih it on full show. The way things are going these days they were probably planning to use it on someone too. Why is there never cops when you need them? Anyway, i just thought i'd post this coz i seriously couldnt belive the cheek - they just had it out in the open and didnt care who saw it. Un-fucking-believable.
You have such a good point with your statement "Why is there never cops when you need them?". Here in the US, it's worse though (as expected, i'm sure)... I've seen little bastards empty trash bags on peoples yards for fun, and get away with it. Yet when they see one teen walking down the street by himself, they feel like harassing him for looking "suspicious" (the history of my childhood in a nut shell). Fuck the Police..
