Zimbabwe -- War veteran, police officer taste own medicine

GWERU- A plain clothes police officer and a war veteran on Wednesday tasted their own medicine when they were beaten up by armed soldiers who rounded up residents indiscriminately at Kudzanai Bus Terminus in Gweru.

The soldiers, who wrecked havoc in the city, caught up with the police officer and the senior war veteran among the peaceful commuters, waiting to board buses to their different destinations.

According to eyewitnesses, the plain-clothes police officer, only identified as Moyo, was thoroughly beaten up and had to produce his force identity card to save himself from further harm.

The well-known war veteran was not so lucky as the marauding soldiers heavily assaulted him. Some of the people who fell victim to the attacks said they were pleased that the two had tasted their own medicine.

"If these war vets and police officers realise that it's not a nice experience to be beaten up, that might bring sense to their minds," said a 26-year-old woman who had stopped over at Kudzanai on her way to Bulawayo.

Oh yeah, for sure. Damn savages.

Oh that the much-vaunted and otherwise lying, loathsome and fearsome prime minister of once great Britain had any real courage.

Rather, that is, than a track record of appeasing mass-murderers.

[But enough about the French, the ira, the Germans, Baby-basher Assad, the Egyptian, Daschle Arafat and the new Blair-elevated anti-life "bishops" of the once-upon-a-time-church-of England]

And the example and the habits of his cravenly-cowardly fellow-fascist and former Neo-Axis Sovereign-Serbia's-Christians-bombing henchman -- and the Cli'ton-esque eye on "legacy" that goes with that tawdry period of a sorry little life spent surrendering Britain's Sovereignty and destroying its Pillars, Tenets and Institutions!

And sent some SAS, Paras and Royal Marines [With a little help from some every-bit-as-tough and effective ANZAC SAS -- and some Yarpies, some Rooinekkers and some Rhodesians!] to clear away at least a little of the dismal wreckage of that part of the UK's colonial past that is not already within its shores.

"If these war vets and police officers realise that it's not a nice experience to be beaten up, that might bring sense to their minds,"

If they don't already realise "it's not a nice experience" I doubt this beating will make much difference.
