   I never said bad! I say good!

   I think being soft on crime is the cause for having so much of it!

   The Limeys have their accumulative intellegence quotient to a new low! What in the world are they thinking?

   I can see their new police department slogan now. “Do the crime and you’ll get time - off that is!”

   “They never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge and common sense.”

   From the article:

   “And a string of crimes including common assault, threatening behaviour, sex with an underage girl or boy, and taking a car without its owner’s consent, should normally be dealt with by a caution, the circular said.”
   ———–
   (My comments abou this)
   It’s called “common assault” because after taking away punishment, assault is a common solution to misunderstandings.

   I also like how they say “sex with an underage girl or boy” instead of statutory rape. Why don’t they just call it “extra affection with a child” to give it that warm and fuzzy feeling?

   But my favorite has to be “taking a car without its owner’s consent”. The last thing you want to do is give people the wrong idea by calling it “auto theft”.

   Here are my recomendations for new crime names within the UK:
   1. Bank Robbery shall me known as Unauthorized Borrowing
   2. Kidnapping shall be known as Involuntary Vacationing
   3. DWI shall be known as Good Times Relocation
   4. Rape shall be known as a Dating Mishap.
   5. Murder shall be known as Suprise Assisted Suicide

   Other suggestions?

   This is starting to take place now, right here in Houston. When I was growing up here in the 60’s, if you ran from the cops, you were almost guaranteed to be shot in the head. It takes care of the problem real fast. It would make other think twice about running. Now we can’t touch them, for fear of pissing off LULAC/NAACP, and of course, now we have QuanelX and his group of well dressed race monger Malcolm X wannabes. Our “authorities” no longer have authority. Our leaders no longer have the guts to stand up for what’s right. It’s only getting worse.

   Poor Tommys. They used to be able to export their criminals, til the criminals got together and said “up yours”… now we have the US of A and Austrailia.

    Who wants to join me on the next flight to London for a short crime spree? I assuming most of us have no criminal record in the UK.

    Would admitting you are a member of Al Qaeda would ratchet up the penalty for threatening to kill?
