Brits are Daft, Part 2

Guns are metal tools. Powder actuated hole punches. 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. |
