post tragedy in ct., here’s a lesson on civilization from this side of the pond

This is yet another ‘mild’ example of the letters to the press published every day.
This one under the title:

When will US see sense on guns?
It is almost 220 years since the Second Amendment to the American Constitution gave their citizens the right to bear arms – will it be another 220 until they realize it was a mistake?  In 1791 guns were almost as dangerous to the user as the intended victim. Unfortunately this is now not the case.  Obama is a master of mock sincerity and will pontificate and do nothing.  How many more tragedies before sanity prevails?

Wish I had a way to forward the link to the story mentioned here, re. girl defends self and home. With a gun.

I am surrounded by the most uninformed American critics imaginable.  Sure, we aren’t above some honest criticism.  Yes, I do understand that these folks do NOT understand our culture, and so slam us at every opportunity.  It never occurs to them that for many American who do not own rifles and do not hunt, still feel safer with a gun in the home against the worst.  A good example of which was the 12 year old girl who shot and wounded an intruder just recently.  You may recall the story, posted here.

Kendra St. Clair, 12, said she was just doing what she had to when she shot a home intruder Wednesday in Durant, OK.

It did NOT make the news on this side of the Atlantic. I got the story cos our RichK was alert and surfing.

And you will remember this one bit of civilization at work.

Bodybuilder ‘who beat girlfriend black and blue’ walks free from court when she fails to give evidence (because blundering CPS told her wrong time to appear)

How about this?

A murder by a criminal on bail is committed every ten days, and the real number could be even higher

Yeah, that’s all very civilized okay. People who have been reading BMEWS and my posts over time, will know I have left out enough to cover a year. AT least.
From the failed ASBOS that street punks wore as a badge of honor, and for those new here from outside the UK, ASBO stands for; Anti Social Behavior Order.
The punishment is severe and cruel and frightening but ALWAYS maintains the civil and human rights of the thug in question.  Sure is scary.  Unpaid community work, which they sometimes do not even show up for.  I guess that’s one of their human rights.  Then there were curfews. Oh yeah. Poor things had to be in by like maybe 7pm and couldn’t go out to prey on the public again til 7 the next morning. Maybe it was 8. Doesn’t matter. Point is, it was all very civilized. 

And so fellow citizens I leave you with the words of our Bmews Poet Laureate, Rich K. With our thanks.

When Britain can support a civilized society of 316 million with as LITTLE gun violence as we have with no real Controls on everyday type guns THEN they can lecture us on the subject.Until then;FUCK OFF!

Alright. Enough of that.  Let’s see what civilization has to offer in today’s news.

Running for his life: Gangsters on rival turf chased and killed an innocent 17-year-old student who was ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’
· Kwame Ofosu-Asare was mistaken for a rival gang member

· Two teenagers ‘who showed no remorse’ stabbed him fourteen times
· Idiabeta jailed for 19 years and Okusanya for 20 years today
· Idiabeta was in youth court on day of attack for breaching bail conditions
· Okusanya told police: ‘Everyone gets stabbed, everyone goes to jail, that’s how life is’

Gangsters chased and killed an innocent 17-year-old student after mistaking him for a rival gang member.
CCTV footage shows victim Kwame Ofosu-Asare who was ‘in the wrong place at the wrong time’ running away from Nelson Idiabeta, then 17, and Nathaniel Okusanya, then 18.
Moments after the teenagers were captured running after him and a friend, Kwame was stabbed 14 times in the back in a ‘cowardly and merciless’ murder.
The 17-year-old was mistaken for a rival in a ‘poisonous and senseless’ gang war, a court heard today as Idiabeta and Okusanya were jailed for life.

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.
