Don't fall for it!

If they're behind in their clear-up rates they'll twist the evidence to get you.

Your only protection is the law, and until the law is changed, you'll be screwed one way or the other if you 'have a go'.

I've seen two cases myself where the Police fabricated evidence. Yet to hear if their hands have been slapped or not. I do not trust them.

WHS. Sadly..

Mr C. was most distressed when I stopped a 2 year-old from bombing out of a McDonald's when her dad had his hands full. He was worried about my being arrested and he admitted that he wouldn't directly help a little one for fear of prosecution (he'd tell the parents where the child went or call the police, but he wouldn't touch them).

He was quite upset that he felt that he couldn't help without getting into trouble.

That can't be right...

Word "hero" in this context has got this posthumous feeling.

It should not be a hero thing - "law abiding citizen legally exercised his right to self defense and in doing so saved a lot of taxpayer money."

pc is the opposite of common sense

They tried to fit a guy I know up, claimed he threw a can of beer at them.

Said can was produced in court and the guys lawyer was giving it..

"So Mr PLod you claim that this can was throw 30 yards, just missing your head and then landed on the road beside you"

"That is correct "

"There is not even a mark on the can... in fact it looks brand new... like you bought it yesterday"

...Not guilty.

A similar incident with a colleague who confided that he did not want to approach the local youths in his neighbourhood for the chaos and dismay they were causing because he was afraid of loosing his SC should he get arrested and criminal record etc and thereby his income. And this guy a rugby player.

The law, in places, favours the troublemakers and brings in-justice on the innocent IMO

the big question is- have these changes been deliberate? Are the marxists on purpose turning common sense on its head? Do they want to destroy society- because their policies do just that.

Abso-bloody-lutely. I think the only time I would touch anyone under 18 would be a small child about to run out in front of traffic. And then I'd make an assessment first that the child would actually be hit before I made a move. In any other instance I would do nothing more than be a witness.



I used to work on a Playscheme during the summer holidays when I was younger. We looked after kids of 5 to 15. It was great fun and although there were simple and clear rules about what you should not do it was a happy, (mostly) safe environment and I have lots of happy memories. But that was before the Soham murders and this country suddenly decided children must not be let out of doors unless it is inside a 4x4 and that all adults are child sex offenders until they have their CRB check.

This most recent generation of kids are going to be so screwed up and useless when get older.
