Asians or other ,the point is they should be caught and dealt with before they cause a more serious injury.

Rather lazy of the LET to use a screen grab from Google Street-View for the accompanying photo, instead getting of their back-sides and taking a photo themselves!

Just another cut-back, if you pardon the expression. Tough gang hiding behind knives not! Hope the victim recovers, unless he deserves it!! All bases covered in my book.
