an example of cops without guns. works well huh?

Haven’t been up to much post wise last couple of days.  Wife doing better but right eye still not fully opened.  She’s on the mend but it’s slow.  I think one of her worst fears may be happening which is some (so far only slight) scaring on the right side of her neck and part of lower chin area.
She keeps looking but doesn’t see it all.  This Shingles thing is a nightmare, but at least the blisters are gone and at them moment leaving a pink like rash where they once were. Have to wait this thing out. Much discomfort on her part, lots of itching especially in the eye but can’t scratch. Frustrating.

Interesting papers yesterday including this from the Mail.

This is what happens when cops don’t have guns.
I don’t care what the bed wetting, bleeding heart, handwringers say with regard to American police and guns. It’s always critical.  I feel better seeing our cops fully armed when we’re in the USA.

Dog owner charged with allowing pet to maul five police officers during raid which went horrifically wrong
· Pierre Robinson, 25, will appear in court today accused of ‘allowing the dog to be dangerously out of control’
· He is also accused of kidnapping and GBH with intent, which is why police were looking for him
· Blood-stained pavement marks the spot where the officers were attacked
· Armed officers forced to shoot four rounds before dog finally killed
· Four of the officers are said to be in a serious but stable condition and one had minor injuries
· The pitbull-type had attacked before, according to neighbours
· Five police were admitted to hospital last night, but two have since been released

Five policemen were in hospital last night after being savaged by the animal, and were said to have ‘life-changing’ wounds as serious as those seen after a shootout.
One officer had his arm broken between the animal’s jaws, while others had chunks of flesh torn from their legs and arms. Some will require plastic surgery, and one could lose several fingers.

LINK TO GRAPHIC VIDEO WITH SOUND. NOT PLEASANT VIEWING

A side note if I may with regard to war news.

American military under much criticism re. the soldier who killed 16 (or was it 17?) Afghans recently. Expected of course and no excuses being made, but want to bring to your attention another war story that finished up here in the UK.
Not on the same scale but.

Brit soldier returned having not fired his gun or killed anyone during his deployment in Afghanistan.  He was very frustrated.
So, he shot his landlady dead because he said, “.he wanted to know what it was like to kill someone.” Sorry, no link to full article but what more needs saying?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
