The police are mediating between the church and the residents (Common sense, or a waste of our time?) If it was a house party making the same noise, people would be getting the jail, and any equipment would be getting seized per anti social behaviour act. So why should this church be any different?

Now I love a good shisha, nothing nicer then having a huge meal then sitting down on a comfy couch with my friends and little double apple tobacco. But I’ve been growing ever more concerned with the great boom in the industry, there have been 3 new places opened in the summer near where I live! My concerns and slight outrage: Known health risks being dumbed down by smokers and shisha cafe owners. http://www.examiner.com/x-14041-Charlotte-...ar-health-risks Regulation, how can smokers be sure what they are smoking is purely tobacco and molases? Are they using the best charcol to ensure the chemicals being inhaled are kept to a minimum? Tax. Are shisha bars paying…

No police marksmen will be prosecuted over the fatal shooting of barrister Mark Saunders. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12...l#ixzz0RTZ4I6EL "Legal experts considered charges of murder, attempted murder and manslaughter against seven officers who fired 11 bullets at Mr Saunders." Is it possible to do this job without someone accusing the Police of murder? Good outcome, but my life what a way to make a living.
