A four-year-old boy has been stabbed to death in West Yorkshire.
A 14-year-old girl was also seriously injured in the incident in Royd
Street, Slaithwaite, on Sunday afternoon.
She has been taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary with stab wounds to her
chest and stomach - her condition is described as serious.
West Yorkshire Police are treating the death as murder. Two men, one aged
47, have been arrested in connection with the incident.
Neighbour Paul O'Shea said: "We are very shocked. It happened right across
the road from us.
"Seven or eight houses have been blocked off and the residents are not
being allowed out.

If the alleged culprit(s) have been arrested, why do the plods find it
necessary to imprison people in their own homes?

Come to that, is it even lawful to prevent someone from leaving their
house?

Probably so that they can collect evidence and make a conviction stick. So
that people can't then say "oh what an incompetent load of plods, not even
picking up any evidence". Maybe it would be better if they just opened the
crime-scene up, let the locals trample over footprints, DNA etc, and kept
their fingers crossed for a confession from the murderer(s). Seems the
police will never win with some people.

That would be a valid reason for taping off the crime scene; it is not
a valid reason for keeping people in their own houses and preventing
them from leaving.

What if their gardens were part of that crime scene? The reports say that
the girl collapsed in the street, do the Police need people walking and
driving around and obliterating anything that could be used to convict the
killer of a 4 year old boy?

I'd be happy to stay indoors for a few hours on a Sunday if it increased the
likelihood of catching and/or convicting someone of such a crime.

A little boy squirrel and a little girl squirrel were chattering and playing around when up comes a fox.
The girl squirrel dashed up a tree, but the boy squirrel stood his ground.
"You're pretty brave," said the fox. "Usually squirrels are afraid of me and run to the nearest tree!"
"Listen, bud," snarled the boy squirrel. "Did you ever try to climb a tree when you were in love?"

As long as it takes, hopefully. It would take a real bastard to interfere
with the investigation of a child's murder just for the sake of popping down

They're in their own homes and have got electricity, water and TV for God's

Maybe if it was one of your kids stabbed to death, you'd like the Police to
make sure their investigation was as thorough as it could be.

What's your problem with the Police doing their jobs properly? Did they
catch you flashing in a public toilet or something?

Yes.... just like when someone crashes on a motorway they close the bloody thing completely instead of just pushing the wreckage onto the hard shoulder. You can count on a policeman to make a crisis into an unnecessary annoyance.

A Pan Am 727 flight waiting for start clearance in Munich overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak in English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German aeroplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice from another plane (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war."

"I can never fool my wife." the first complained.
"I turn off the car's engine and coast into the garage, take off my shoes, sneak upstairs, and undress in the bathroom.
But she always wakes up and yells at me for being out so late and leaving her alone."
"You got the wrong technique my friend." his buddy replied.
"I roar into the garage, slam the door, stomp up the steps, rub my hand on her ass and say, 'How about a little?'
She always pretends to be asleep."

If the alleged culprit(s) have been arrested, why do the plods find it
necessary to imprison people in their own homes?
Come to that, is it even lawful to prevent someone from leaving their
house?
