The Changed Scene of Brixton

Submitted by Omar Richards on Sat, 08/12/2007 - 11:10pm.

Omar  C. Richards

ON Friday at about midday I was passing through Brixton, South London as I approached my detination on Brixton Hill, I walked into a completly differrent scene in the space of two seconds.

My scene emerged into a moment of stand still by passer-by’s and the sound of over 10 police cars and vans.   As the police men parked, they jumped out of their vehicles and ran into the Brixton Customer Care Centre.

We eagerly awaited their result.  Thinking: “has someone robbed the place or is there a gun man inside?”  Unsurprisingly within two minutes, about 12 police men came out with a man looking of unsound mind, age of about 35, pulling and bracing him upon themeselves.

After staggering and twisting with the law men, he was dumped in the back of a van.  As they drove off with him, one passer- by said: “How crazy? This is a silly place why were the police running all over the place like fools for one little mad man.”

What happened inside the building? No one knows. The atmosphere changed again and everything went back to norm, including the staff inside the Customer Service building.

How ironic!!!!!!!!!!

Brixton

Submitted by rebeccawilliams on Sun, 09/12/2007 - 4:38am.

I don't mean to be rude but I don't understand what you were trying to communicate in this blog. The demography of Brixton suggests that this area is prone to crime. It has been notorious for crime for decades . You contradict yourself a little because in the beginning you imply that Brixton has changed for you, yet later you write "Unsurpringly, about 12 policemen..." which indicates that you have some knowledge about the everchanging ambiance of Brixton. This is an everyday occurance in Brixton (and other areas in London) so what's ironic about it? By they way, proof read.
