You're right 9th, it reads like satire...bad satire.
The only royal there with any backbone is Prince Harry. I really think the last hope for England would be for Harry to become king, and then shake things up, boldly and big-time.
But of course that will never happen. Harry is fifth in line for the throne. Some day Charles will become king. To show his progressiveness, he will probably disarm his bodyguards, then have his coronation in a mosque.
“Each baseball bat was fetching more than $400.”
Wouldn’t cricket bats be just as effective and more available?
The English would be more used to swinging one of them.
I was thinking about various personal protection methods the other day and was wondering if a product exists that is essentially a miniature body cam but it’s constantly streaming live images as opposed to being stored on your person…. which is the way I think that cop body cams work. http://bodycameras.com/ If this was available, I would think that it would put a serious dent in a lot of muggings, knockout games etc etc etc.
It’s looking like too much inbreeding in the ruling class.
Clayton Williams.
He’d have been governor, too, if he’d just shaken Ann’s hand when she offered it.
He was talking about the bad weather, but made a horrible analogy as he was wont to do at times.
It would normally make a loud ear-piercing noise, but that might injure the rapist.
In England, the alarm screams, “Who’s next? Who’s next?”
No ... they aren't.
Whether wood or metal, due to its shape the baseball bat is much better suited to use as a melee weapon than the cricket bat. Football bats, of course, are completely useless ...
These are police in the UK, this is their recommendation. Mine? Ladies, fight with all you have. Make sure they know no means no. Don’t be squeamish, because there is a solid chance your assailant won’t be, either. If you have something to dangle off your trailer hitch when you’re done and one is crushed, so much the better.
If you want your Englishmen you can keep them, you have Obama's word on it.
Just don't let them wander over to GA. We have more than enough gun-grabbing voters moving here from weird places like CA, NJ, MA, etc, as it is now. We don't need any English gun-grabbers to make it worse.
Question: If it were Black or Muslim girls getting raped by white men, would the UK Police be showing such amazing restraint?
“UK Police Tell Subjects Not to Harm Their Attackers, Get a Rape Alarm”
So you can summon others to do what exactly? If you cannot harm your attacker, why is someone else allowed to?
The problem here is that you are thinking like a normal, rational person.
Most muggers (and probably all knockout game folks) are unthinking and irrational. They don't think anything through. If the opportunity presents itself, and they feel like doing the crime, they'll just do it.
Cameras, a police station around the block, none of that matters much.
Maybe a thousand years of sharia law will make the brit’s testicles finally descend.
Maybe the soccer thugs will become heroes in Britain if the muzzies keep at it.
It's called out of control liberalism. Not only do they not allow people to defend themselves, they throw you in prison for speaking the truth. Britain's laws against "hate speech" are far more onerous than here.
However, take heart, if American libs have their way, we'll be just like Britain 'ere long.
It isn’t baffling at all. Leftist fear most, people who Know when to fight and who WILL do so when the situation arises.
I would have to disagree with you. I keep my late wife's son's cricket bat in my office at work (as they won't allow me to bring firearms or machetes on Fort Hood) because I believe that I can inflict more immediate damage by using the edge part of the cricket bat. To my mind, even though the edge isn't sharp, it will still have an added "chopping" effect the blow.
That is nothing new. Liberals in the United States have been saying the same thing for decades. In fact, they even say that you need to understand why he/ she kills, robs, or rapes you.
