Evidently the 2 day release is actually a "skills refresher course"...wouldn't want those criminals losing there edge while sitting in prison

An unnamed eyewitness claimed the attacker used to “machine gun” to fire at hail of bullets at the victim in Lawrence Avenue, according to the Evening Standard.
