More signs the Brits are a failing people

The sad part is this is even a debate:
"The TV presenter and Marks & Spencer model Myleene Klass has been warned by police for waving a knife at teenagers who were peering into a window of her house late at night.

Klass was in the kitchen with her daughter upstairs when she spotted the youths in her garden just after midnight on Friday. She grabbed a knife and banged the windows before they ran away.

Hertfordshire police warned her she should not have used a knife to scare off the youths because carrying an "offensive weapon", even in her own home, was illegal..." Article

It gets even worse. Read this one:
"A businessman who fought off knife-wielding burglars who were threatening to kill his family was jailed for 30 months in a case that has reignited the debate on how far householders can go to protect themselves and their property.

Munir Hussain, 53, discovered three masked men in his house when his family returned from their local mosque during Ramadan in September last year.

The burglars tied up and threatened to kill Hussain and his family but a teenage son managed to escape and alert Hussain's brother, Tokeer.

The intruders fled when help arrived at the house in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, but the brothers chased and caught one, Walid Salem, a criminal with more than 50 previous convictions. He was then subjected to what Judge John Reddihough described as a "dreadful, violent attack" by the Hussain brothers..."

No wonder the Muslims are taking over England. Thug ties up a man and his family and threatens to kill them, he knows what to do while the damn WASP's want to throw him under the jail... Article

The question is does a people who can't even figure out their own lives are worth defending are worthy of survival.

Who are we to tell Britian what's right or wrong, or how they should carry out their own laws? Look, I don't know if you are really keeping up, but sadly the U.S. is about as screwed up as it comes as far as the rights of victims go. How about the case of Heather Spencer? Is that not a case that has been heavily influenced by string pulling, connections, and deference to the Bell's, esp. Mommie Bell? Jr. may sit in prison now, but that case has not been prosecuted as it should have been, and Heather's "rights" have been walked all over. And not just here, all over the country, it seems the criminals gain more rights while the victims lose more. I won't even begin to start on "racial profiling". We can't offend anyone out there who is up to no good by including their race to describe them. Hmmm, the CL comes to mind.

No way do I feel I can judge Britian when this very same type of illogic goes on over here, and not just a little bit. There's stuff like this out there that no one will eeeever hear about, you can bet on that. Why do Americans seem to assume they know best about everything, just by virtue of being American? I like your blog KF, but this kind of post puts me off. Don't we have enough crap going on here to contend with, without minding Britian's biz? They've been around longer than we have; Britian is not a poor third world country. They should be plenty able to deal with their problems, like we should be able to do here, but don't seem to be doing a very good job of it.

Elizabeth:

What you describe as a “revenge attack,” I would call the justifiable use of force to apprehend a fleeing felon.

As to your complaints that the burglary victim beat the criminal with a cricket bat, what was the alternative? Since England does not allow its law-abiding subjects to possess firearms, crime victims are left with no alternative other than blunt objects. And I, for one, believe the victim made the right choice of weaponry. If a firearm isn’t available, my second weapon of choice would be a cricket bat (actually it would be an aluminum t-ball bat, but hey, we’re talking about England here).

Also, your contention that there were “no WASPs involved” is absolutely wrong. The victim and the burglar appear to be Muslim, but the jackass that sent the victim to jail was named Judge John Reddihough. At the risk of engaging in some mild stereotyping here, that just don’t sound like a Muslim name to me. It appears that the “uninformed post” here is actually yours.

And as an aside, the Hussein brothers did screw up really bad in this case: they left the Crown a witness.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
