British citizens urged to call police on thugs wearing too much bling
In Britian, a new Crimestoppers campaign called “Too much bling? Give us a ring” is encouraging citizens to call police at the first sight of anyone wearing too much bling without any visible means of support.

Don’t most of the thugs wearing too much bling have the fake bling? LOL at avidreader, Amy has been on an Island for the past few months. I don’t think the Brits want her back.
GUCCI!!! My chain, my chain, dont u like my chain
cant just going around ‘busting’ people for being gaudy! thats a violation, over here that is
Well I can see how this applies to english urban society, not too many entrepreneurial opportunities, so folks can be self made like on this side of the pond; and many credit card fraudsters and drug dealers in council housing driving jaguars. That ish over here is a carte blanche for racists cops to continue their fcukery.
This would be a lawsuit waiting to happen. I can see it now, Al Sharpen and Michael Baisden would lead the protest!!!!! (giggling)
Gucci is SO-ICEY !!!

Well they need to arrest the dqueen, cause you know she obtained some of her crown jewels through some murder, mayhem and beheadings. It’s even in the history books!
How’d I do? Was that convincing enough?
lawd…….
this is why we all live in the United States. since does some have the right to judge whether or not i can afford the jewelry i wear, then call the police because they dont think i can afford what i am wearing ? keep that crazy azz sh*t in places were they have nothing else to do but snoop on their neighbors and judge their lifes achievements by the fist 4 syllable that come out their mouth….
