I've always had this little fear of other people and stories about criminals and drunken 'madmen' (for lack of a better word) and such do worry me. Even worse is when we get stories about some of the stupid decisions made by the police or government that involve these types of people.
At three o'clock in the morning, I was woken up by the sounds of people shouting and glass breaking outside - not to mention a car alarm going off. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole street were awake to hear it, that's for sure. Anyway, I was quite worried, seeing as all I had to go on was the sounds I could hear (I didn't want to look out the window!), and it didn't sound very pleasant.
Eventually, the police turned up (I know because I could see the car lights shining through the window and my Mum told me), but that did little to boost my confidence in the situation. I know it wasn't as bad as some of the more serious situations that you read about, and I still don't know what they actually did when they arrived, but still their presence didn't exactly fill me with the hope and confidence that they ought to.
Am I just being cynical of them after recent events? Or am I just being needlessly paranoid about the whole thing?
Meh, I'm still feeling a little tired and worried after last night, so I apologise if that felt like rambling.
EDIT: Turns out things were more serious than I thought. The police are still here, asking people about the events. Again, I'm not entirely certain what's happened exactly, but I'm still unsure of how it will be resolved. And that's assuming it will be resolved. Maybe I shouldn't have made this post in the first place.
