Which in the end could increase tensions and have things far worse even.
Totally agree,really invest in security and get the numbers of Police back up again.

Just wondering though... do you think it's just a bad idea that the authorities name the watch-list suspects, or should individuals who have concerns about certain people keep those concerns secret to the general public, and not go on social media etc. about it.
Cause people get suspected of other crimes, and as far as I know, it doesn't cause harrasement... or maybe it does, I don't know.
