Brits are Daft, Part 2

ZERO TOLERANCE IN REAL LIFE -- ANOTHER IN A LONG SERIES:

After Shaun Wood, 22, lost his job, he built up a debt to a drug
dealer. The dealer took advantage of him by forcing Wood to store
things for him in his Liverpool, England, home. One of the items: a
submachine gun. Nervous, Wood considered using the gun to commit
suicide, but instead he took it to a police station, where police
described him as "visibly shaking and distressed," and handed it
over. He was immediately arrested. But the judge in the case praised
Wood. "If people are brave enough to come forward and hand in guns,"
said Judge Sean Duncan, "the courts will acknowledge that bravery."

Thus, Judge Duncan only sentenced Wood to 2- 1/2 years in prison for
possession of a prohibited weapon, rather than the usual 5.
(Liverpool Echo) ...Right. Can't have Brits being brave
now, can we? Let's hope that puts an end to it.


Barking mad...absolutely barking mad.....


I would be seriously concerned that exactly
the same thing might happen in my town. Of
course, I'd be smart enough and have enough
tools to reduce the weapon to a harmless
blob of steel instead.
