Here in the UK these days the police are mostly seen as ineffective, not likely to actually catch any criminal that may cross your daily life. The courts are viewed as so skewed towards their clients that the victim is very much an afterthought. So I can well understand the stance taken by these guards.Leeds daily photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240127660481382397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716370865317701022.post-35900560625586824802011-10-30T12:11:59.966-07:002011-10-30T12:11:59.966-07:00"...a blog that shows only birdhouses and law..."...a blog that shows only birdhouses and lawn bowling in Johannesburg wouldn't be telling the whole story." Thank you for telling the whole story - because I am a firm believer that these daily photo blogs have the potential to be more than pretty postcards.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04375924951116249874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716370865317701022.post-78128029604298238202011-10-30T07:17:06.113-07:002011-10-30T07:17:06.113-07:00What a tragic event to have to witness.

Like many others, I tilt my blog to the positive, but my basic rule is to show what interests me and to assume that it will also interest others.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323811980627840654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716370865317701022.post-57028371064762092992011-10-30T06:34:43.415-07:002011-10-30T06:34:43.415-07:00There are incidents like this everywhere, and it i...There are incidents like this everywhere, and it is unsettling. I have shared your dilemma about the range of subject matters to include in my photo blog. I have not witnessed any crime or violence, so I have not faced your precise decision, but I respect your approach to dealing with the range of potential subjects.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716370865317701022.post-24087989718196040312011-10-30T05:55:25.562-07:002011-10-30T05:55:25.562-07:00How horrible.
