‘High street was more like Beirut’

I had to buy the Caernarfon and Debigh Herald today because of the above headline, and it would appear despite arresting 7 people who came to the area to cause trouble, the police failed miserably to control the situation on llanberis High street last weekend. 

Interestingly the mess was reasonably predictable as many of the summer festivals, fairs and fetes around Gwynedd have been marred by loutish behaviour. So why the police didn’t see this coming and stamp it out early in beyond belief. After midnight when I walked home there was still the majority of on duty police officers that were in North Wales in the village.
Sadly someone died after being attack in another town, after there was no police left to respond to the incident. My post isn’t really about that though its is about what i found in the paper. One of my photos, that the paper had years ago and used without paying me the first time that really pissed me off. However they have only gone and used it again, this time without even crediting me.
Anyway I have written to the editor, I will see what they have to say on the matter. Probably, ‘no, that’s not your image’.
