    Goat accused of robbery

    From today's Mail on Sunday:
    Police in Nigeria are holding a goat on suspicion of attempted armed robbery.

    Vigilantes seized the black and white goat, saying it was an armed robber who had used black magic to transform himself into an animal to escape after trying to steal a Mazda 323.

    A spokesman for police in the eastern state of Kwara said "the goat is in our custody. Vigilantes saw some hoodlums attempting to rob a car. One escaped while the other turned into a goat."

    Can;t think why you're suprised.

    We live in a 'nanny' state don't we? Aren't the government robbers too?

      Perhaps food is scarce and it's a feeble justification at cannibalism ?
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          Doesn't look anything like the perps description. That goat has much longer hair.

                Dear Mr Sir,

                I am recently writing for you that a terrible injustice is about to take place. My goat is in gaol accused of robbery but she was one mile distant at the same time as the robbery. Of a car. My goat is in the family several years and a good mother.

                I have no money to pay to a lawyer to defend my goat in the court and I am afraid she is sent for a long time to gaol. INNOCENT.

                Please help this injustice with donations to pay for lawyer and make correct this injustice. I only need your bank details and how much you wish to donate. Please send this information to:

                Many thanks for your large kindness in this matter.

                    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
