The Biggest Twerps in Numpty Land?

Artrockers,

If you thought there was a bomb on a crowded bus what would be your priority? Would it be to point guns at the bus for three hours while you construct decontamination tents and wait for a large part of the fire service to show up, or would it be to disembark the passengers as quickly as you can? It's not a difficult one is it? Add to this the fact that 'smoke' has been seen rising from a bag on the bus and the whole thing becomes a little more urgent.

But not according to the cops, who once again prove themselves to be the most asinine bunch of twerps around. Leave the people on the bus with the 'bomb' for hours and then make them sit on the Tarmac for a few hours more for added humiliation seems to be their action plan.

So, is that really the plan for dealing with possible terrorism? Leave the intended victims sitting on the bomb while the cops have a cuppa? Can't say it makes me feel too secure, in fact it makes me feel as those passengers in The Midlands felt, like collateral damage, a sacrifice worth taking, an 'acceptable loss'.

But maybe, and here it gets even more worrying, the cops knew damn well it wasn't a bomb, but thought these innocent people would make a marvellous opportunity to test out their terrorist response tactics. Can there be another explanation for leaving dozens sitting on a smoking bomb?

That smoke came from an electronic cigarette, the West Midlands were effectively closed down for seven hours, and we all laughed loudly at the ridiculousness of our 'emergency services'...again.

Maybe the wet weather will spare the cops their blushes this summer, maybe there won't be a rampage on our streets, we shall see. But if the weather changes we will see a replay of last summer and rather than running away, which seems to have been the tactic last year, I predict that the cops will construct decontamination tents and sit and stare for a few hours before leading some innocent people, at gunpoint, to sit on the street.

Does all of this make you feel safe?

Or does it confirm that the cops are the kings of numpty land?

I'm not sure where numpty land is, but it's clear that somebody should put an explosive device beneath it as soon as possible. But if you really want to screw with them just get yourself an electronic fag and watch them implode.
