Why the police had to shut the A259 (seafront road) four hours after the incident AND JUST BEFORE EVERYONE LEFT WORK... is beyond me.

I was grid locked for an hour and a half.

Not angry much.

Your comment about 'a series' of fatal shootings makes it sounds like it's happening every week! Your link mentions a shooting in 2009 and one in 1998 - have there been others inbetween?
The details of this shooting are yet to come out so I think that I'll reserve judgement for now. The man in 2009 started shooting at people and ended up getting shot. Live by the sword (etc etc)...............

I think MC should think outside his bubble and overlook the minor disruption to his routine and show some compassion for people's feelings, eg the police officer who had to shoot another human being, the horrified witnesses who were petrified (the police were in plain clothes so the watching public thought they had been caught up in a gang shooting or something) and also the family of the man who died. Yes he was a wanted man in connection with an armed robbery but he chose to go down that path - his relatives didn't and their pain will be more then likely be acute by now.
It is not the fault of the police what time this happened - and neither is it their fault if the road has to be closed temporarily.

I'm sure the police had a good reason, but the A259 was shut 4 hours after the shooting and Rock Place (where the shooting occurred) is not on the A259. The Brighton Police have a long record for shutting important roads for little good reason during rush hour.

I was stuck in Preston Street on the Brighton/Hove border (probably should have stopped for a Chinese).

Lb&b, the words pot, kettle and black spring to mind.

QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
I like the fact it's safe enough to leave windows open and shops don't need to put grills up at night.
