This, from a so-called free and democratic country!? What the (bleep) is going on!
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2081524,00.htmlBecause so many of our beloved :noway: gun-banners claim they want to live in a society where only the police and the military have guns - and of course, the criminals, but they never acknowledge the latter! :evil: this seems like an appropriate story to ponder... especially those who may regularly cut their hair or shave, or mumble, or perspire!
What if talking on a cell phone comes across to an excitable cop as mumbling? :blaster:
What if its a kid on his way to a job interview? He has cleaned himself up, having just gotten a haircut and a shave. He's thinking he might be late, so calls ahead on the headset attached to his cell phone. He is walking quickly, has a sheen of perspiration on his forehead and no doubt is a bit stressed. Yikes! He's put himself in the same category as a black man in 1964 jogging for exercise down a middle-class white street in Montgomery Alabama!
(This brings up the question, what if some guy is walking down the street with little bits of tissue stuck on his face? They gonna take
that as an obvious sign of a terrorist?)
The defense at the cop's trial (if there even is one) goes something like this:
"Well yer lordship, he was mumblin' and sweating a bit. He 'ad 'imself a nice 'aircut and looked real clean shaven like. Even 'ad some toilet paper bits stuck on 'is face! He showed four of nine categories that were indications of a terrorist, I
'ad ta take him down! It was me duty. I owed it to the citizens of this great democracy! I have sworn to serve and protect! :blaster: In lookin' back, I guess I mighta made a wee bit of a mistake. Oh well."
Is it just me or does OOPS just not quite seem to make it as an acceptable response!
To live and thrive in Britain these days, in addition to their right to keep and bear arms (already lost) men have to give up shaving, haircuts, and hot weather - not to mention their lives!
All in the name of a society that prefers security over freedom.
DO NOT LET THIS CRUD TAKE ANY MORE HOLD IN THE USA!
