Be Careful Out On The Roads

[jerry phipps]

Hi everyone

Just got this email from my sister in-law. I cant believe that people are driving around doing stuff like this.

See what you guys and girls think of this.

Subject: Fw: from metropolitan police - via Brent education department so not a hoax

Subject: FW: Please Read - Released By Metropolitan Police & London

Ambulance Service - 08:46 6/5/2004

We have received a warning at the London Ambulance Service and have been

asked to pass on the information to all our families and friends.

The LAS have units closely associated with the Police 'D.A.R.E.' squads

based in South London who are basically fighting Gang Crimes.

The 'street gangs' in London (particularly South London at present, but it

is sure to spread) have initiation tasks which new gang members have to

carry out to be admitted to the 'gang'. The latest craze is to drive

around,

deliberately with no lights on their cars. The first person who ' flashes'

them, points at them or sounds their horn at them, has to be followed by

that new gang member in their car, who then has to fire a shot into that

vehicle !!! with no regard as to who is inside.

Our official instruction is that if we see a vehicle with no lights on, we

are NOT to 'flash' it etc. and the advice to friends and family is that you

should ignore any vehicles you see without lights. I would ask that you

pass

this info on to all your family, friends and colleagues by phone or e-mail,

and who knows, it may save a life!

Its a lovely world we live in, isn't it.

Please forward this on to as many people as you know regardless of whether

they live in London or not

jerry!!

It could be a hoax as its very easy these days to spoof an IP and the emails origin - and why its wasnt made as a public announcment on national news instead is a bit weird. However, I don't see any reason to spoof this sort of e-mail.

Even more worrying is the fact that I can actually believe this. It is very sad that in this day and age that we are not utterly shocked and that we cannot believe our eyes, instead its believable. I find it so pathetic.

When you think we are just one planet, of millions in our galaxy. And we are just one galaxy of millions in a cloud of galaxies. And that this is just one cloud of hundreds of clouds of galaxies in our universe. And that this could just be one universe in a what could be a band of muli-verses... it shows you just how small, pathetic, and insignificant we are. Yet we still have petty crime, murder, and even authorities fighting over patches of land!

Sorry... going out on a limb there but you get what I mean.
