How'd They Get Away?

I know Golders Green well. Lived there two years and have been back a dozen times.

Caught this (via Atlas Shrugs) and I have a question:

A gang of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rampaged through the heart of the Jewish community on Wednesday evening, attacking businesses and assaulting a motorist.

Police and the CST have increased patrols and security following the incidents in Golders Green, North-West London, amid concerns of further trouble during Shabbat.

The group of around 15 men had been demonstrating in support of Palestinians in Gaza but then made their way along Golders Green Road, attacking the man as he got into his car.

They attempted to gain access to a number of kosher restaurants and Jewish businesses, and at one point entered Solly’s restaurant, but were thrown out by staff and diners.

Despite officers arriving in the area quickly, the gang was able to escape on the Tube.


How did they get away?

Golders Green is full of Jews. Loads of stores. Eateries. Shops.

They need to be not only more vigilant but more responsive.

This is the product of the NW11 liberals failure to rampage in objection to years of BBC, Ch4, Guardian-esque anti-Zionism.

Londoners suffer their long-standing practice of tolerating Muslim & Black aggressiveness on the Tube.
Everyone looks away and hopes it passes before it affects them. And there's no climate for aggressive self-defense (eg, bats, tazers, vigilantes) among the pacifist, liberal community.

Thuggish behaviour is all-too-common & tolerated on the Tube - primarily because there isn't an easy way to report suspicious behaviour.

Police presence is woefully inadequate. Riders must demand a conventional emergency phone number for immediate Transport-police response.

The Golders Green station platform is above-ground for calling - and even texting would work underground. There isn't typically a Transport policeman at each station, and the Metro Police are ineffectual at crime deterrence - by self-admission.

If it isn't too late, Northwest London should train their men for a Paris-like Betar vigilantism.
