  2. #1 If a large enough group in Ingrid’s community posed as much of a threat to the police as the Muslims did, the police would arrest the stone throwers or do nothing at all. What they would not do is arrest Ingrid.

  3. 1/ This brave lady is worth a hundred Muslim men. Shame on the cowardly police who did almost nothing during the Lee Rigby attack.
    Michael Had-a -Banana and Michael Had-a-Potato should be dismembered, disemboweled and dragged through the streets.

    The British police are very good in harassing motorists for a quick rip off, but nothing more challenging or dangerous.
