***and crude planks of wood with nails hammered into them. ***

Was the serial number also removed from this deadly weapon?

I purchased an Egg McMuffin to share with my wife and asked the cashier to cut it in half.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Back when plastic knives were ‘LEGAL’, I was at a McD’s in a truck stop and this elderly couple were sitting at a table.
He got up and ordered and came back with a hamburger and french fries and a coke, all from the Dollar Menu.
He sat down, and carefully dumped the French Fries, giving one to her, one to him etc. He then pulled out a pocket tape and measured the top of the bun and cut it perfectly in half.
He split the coke and she proceeded to eat and we figured he was going to make sure she had enough to eat before he started.

Well, we kind of passed the hat and took up a collection, purchased a couple of Big Macs etc and presented the food the couple and the remainder of the money.

They thanked us profusely and said they had money, just watched their diet with the fast food and he was waiting for her to finish as it was HER TURN for the false teeth.

I think that all blankets are banned without registration and a large tax, as they can be easily wrapped around the business end of the assembled board and nails.

Lord help you if you have cut any threads on the end of the board.

"The Big Issue is a street newspaper published in four continents; it is written by professional journalists and sold by homeless individuals, and was founded by John Bird and Gordon Roddick in September 1991."

Seems like the perp was a "homeless" bloke who musta done in the other two homeless paper sellers.

I see a picture of a baseball bat, but I see no cricket bats. If one is a “weapon”, why not the other? Clearly anti-American....!!

Big issues of newspapers will be next. Rolled up newspapers can be used as weapons and do almost as much harm as when they are not rolled up.

These guys would excrete masonry if they saw an average FReeper gun safe.

I couldn't imagine having only one.

Safe that is.

The more hospitals a country has, the more people die in hospitals. Millions die in hospitals every year.

We can stop all those hospital deaths if we simply ban hospitals.

Other dangerous arms featured in the grim haul are .... crude planks of wood with nails hammered into them.

The Simpsons did it first.

How puny? The board with a nail through it was the superweapon that humanity developed to successfully defeat the alien invasion which took advantage of an Earth which had had been pesuaded to disarm iteslf by ...Lisa.

The once mighty British Empire reduced to this. No baseball bats, no kitchen knives.

I wonder if their masters will stop them from practicing martial arts, like we did to Japan at the end of WWII.

When those who want the world population reduced down to ‘manageable’ numbers they will be utterly defenseless.
