These little bricks were rolling around the streets where I grew up, just last night, carrying machetes, openly.

#Portsmouth is being dragged down, fast.

It's a tolerant city but that tolerance only lasts so long.

omg...! stay safe out there 😬

I'm safe enough, it's the other poor buggers who aren't that I worry about - the number of stabbings in this city is climbing so quickly it's unreal. Glad my daughter isn't living around here.

so pleased you and your family are safe🫂

Guess you also have a machete of your own, to chop those mooring lines in case things dont work out..?

Youre right, I absolutely must have a knife available at all times because, like you say, mooring lines - there's always the chance of an emergency where I'll have to cut a line so I need the tools to do it. Kinda handy, really.

Don't forget the axe in case another boats rigging & mast gets entangled in yours. 😂

I mean clearly it's a safety issue.

Literally - could be life and death

Machete would then be multipurpose! 😅🥷

*innocent face*

😂

Madness

Report it to the police please.

Holy shit, it’s crazy how brazen they are to just be openly cycling about with machetes!

There's no fear any more - nothing will happen, the police won't do anything, neither will the criminal justice system

Agreed. Nowadays I wouldn’t be surprised if the police knocked on your door because you had the audacity to point out that criminals are walking around with machetes!

Get ya a baseball bat with nails in it

Tell me, that' s Portsmouth UK ? Looks wet enough

Yeah, the original - not always as drab as those pics but yeah, Fratton...Fratton's a bit grim these days

Thats Hard going.. I had no idea it was like that these days. . I know 3 families there and not one has mentioned this sort of thing...To be honest, given what Portsmaouth is, I am surprised this has even been allowed to get to this stage - Stay safe
