Well, someone WAS harbouring him. A 22 year old has been arrested. Cant give a link because it’s the bbc live update page which might have anything by the time you click on it.
A 22-year-old man was arrested this morning for assisting an offender - he was interviewed by police in south London and later released on bail
The 31-year-old mother, attacked with an alkaline substance on Wednesday, has facial injuries that will impact her for the rest of her life - police say she may lose sight in her right eye
Ezedi was last seen in the Southwark Bridge area of London at 21:50 GMT on Wednesday - a little more than two hours after the attack
Police say they are not currently searching the River Thames for Ezedi
The motive behind the attack is still unclear, but police say Ezedi is not the father of the children he's also accused of attacking
Police are combing through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage to discover Ezedi's whereabouts - they say he's been using a bank card to move around London's tube network, but it hasn't been used since late on Wednesday

Unfortunately everyone in this country is at risk of being attacked by some nutter for the simple reason that you are not allowed to carry anything with which to defend yourself. The only people who can and do carry weapons (including corrosive substances) are the criminals and violent offenders. Thankfully I am now old enough to be able to carry a stout walking stick without it being considered an offensive weapon. Yes but do you stil have the strength, dexterity and speed of movement to use it ?
Back in 1994 in my previous home, I was forced to use a pickaxe handle and a motorbike chain to defend myself and my home against a bunch of fighting drunks, the call to 999 being answered by some tosser who told me no-one was abailable to help.
In 1997 havihg recently moved to this one, I had to use a shovel to defend myself from three burglars I caught breaking into my garden shed. What for beats me there was sod all in there. I shouted expecthing themto run off two turned round and the third came at me with a crowbar. He clearly hadn.t counted on the damage i could do with the blade end. He went down hard and then i kicked him shitless until he stopped moving.
I was, to be fair, surprised all three did not just run off when i first challenged them. There were no fences stopping their escape at that time, just "post and wire" boundary markings. On seeing their friends blood pouring onto my patio and how much i enjoyed kicking him after shovelling him, his friends chose to leg it, right into the cul de sac at the end of the road where faced with death by tidal river or surrender to annoyed neighbours they chose the latter. I suppose we ought to have thrown them down the forty foot into the lethal mud and left them to die like an earlier idiot burglar who ran from us, but i guess the neighbours were less keen....
I have mixed feelings about homeowners having the use of anything more than such tools not least because although I managed to put the first of these individuals, he brought two pals with him. Had this been a "stand your ground" state in the USA they would have come armed and i'm not that good a gunfighter in a three against one scenario
Not that you are supposed to use it and no I have never had cause to but my canister of Bear spray I picked up a few years ago at a car boot is apparently brilliant for multiple invaders . Just spray the air between you and them and go back indoors There is only one way they will want to go and its as far away as possible . Saves all that mess John .  |

Nope. But chummy doesn't know that. All he sees is someone who possibly is capable of defending themselves. So he moves on to the next target. |

I remember my mate used to carry a krooklok in his boot so that he could use it in a fight.
When he did get into a fight the bloke took it off him and hit him with it a few times .
Oh well….

I reckon this Abdul Ezedi must have people helping him, I doubt he could just fall off the radar without help. I agree. He's holed up somewhere. I wonder which part of the country will erupt in fire and rioting when they find and shoot him If only. Actually, are there any AFO's left? From what I've heard hundreds of them have refused to carry firearms in case they're charged with murder. |

Yep. Another "Charity" gone political. And another that I no longer donate to. The RNLI are very selective over who they allow to donate to them - if you don't hold the correct views they do not want your money. So I take the view they cannot be that hard up and I donate elsewhere. They get council money for lifeguard services on beaches for baby adults who can't deal with water. It' a new service from Blighty that you never needed. |
