mess with Sead Kolasinac. Fans of Arsenal Football Club call their beefy left-back “the tank”. Last month he proved that he is also a formidable opponent off the pitch. When he and his teammate Mesut Ozil were set upon by knife-wielding robbers a few miles west of their north London stadium, he leapt out of Mr Ozil’s car and fought back. After dusting himself off, he posted a triumphant Instagram picture of the two grinning players, looking distinctly unruffled. “Think we’re fine,” he wrote.
That was before the replay. Both players skipped the opening match of the season on August 11th following what a club spokesperson euphemistically termed “further security incidents”. Two men were charged with public-order offences after a row with bodyguards at Mr Ozil’s home. Tabloids speculated that the footballers had unwittingly become embroiled in a feud between two rival gangs.
Crooks of the same nationality often stick together. A shared language and culture can be important in forging trust when setting up a criminal network, says Anna Sergi of Essex University. They also benefit from a ready-made international network through connections in their home country and diaspora.
Geography often plays a big part in the types of crime such groups specialise in, says Mr Saggers. For instance, Turkish and Pakistani gangsters are overrepresented in Britain’s heroin trade, thanks to the countries’ proximity to Afghanistan, where most opium is grown. People-traffickers are most often Albanian, Romanian, Vietnamese and Chinese as well as British, since they have ready access to people keen for work.
Yet gangs united by ethnicity tend to specialise in low-level crime, points out Ms Sergi. The more lucrative or sophisticated the crime, the more necessary it is to recruit locals who can readily launder money through legitimate businesses or corrupt officials. In fact, she says, acquisitive crime such as the attempted robbery of the Arsenal players tends to be the domain of the most recently arrived crooks, who need cash to start up their network.

Gangs? They could not mug one dude armed with an index finger, with the other frozen in fright. We should find a fitting word for them. They do not qualify to be called a gang. Otherwise real gangs will sue us for character assassination.

Tottenham fans?
Well maybe, just maybe, the honing in and encouragement of a more refined specialization is at hand. Cat Sitting, Hand Modeling or Costumed Characters seem to come to mind and are the most genuine and viable of alternatives; that are only now and most graciously on the upswing..
A few live rounds at these thugs could help make a strong statement...
Look at this
What to benefit?
Diverse is the exact correct word.
Everyone is an easy target when no is allowed to be armed.

Diversity is truly a strength, metpoliceuk clowns
Don't use the word diverse, soon enough the Guardian and the New Statesman will have OP-eds saying how fantastic and progressive our organised crime is.
