Most things can be used as a weapon, including razor sharp wit!! :rolleyes:

If you’re going to read the tabloids, then being attacked by a walking stick is the least of your problems. This is not snobbery, how else are you going to defend yourself from the invading foreign, freeloading paedophiles that are corrupting or good honest hardworking British society!!! ;)

What’s this got to do with the bush anyway?:dunno:

Nuff Said.

I am tryng to find more info about Kingsnorth protest where "Da Stick" fell foul of the law. If I am to believe this article in the Guardian, it seems the police action was rather heavy handed, cost £6 000 000 of tax payer money for what seemed to have been a relatively peaceful, lawful protest. http://http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/12/climatechange.police. We can all draw our own conclusion of course, and see what we want to see depending where we stand.

There's a lot to be said for carrying a stout walking staff. In this case, you could say it's not a good idea where there are paranoid officers of the law present! :rolleyes:

As I read it quick, I get an image of an camp with people who believe in the same things. Because someone with power labels them as activists/extremists the police shows up in riot gear to show they're being watched so they don't make any 'trouble'.
It's just showing power. Anyone with brains knows that someone won't be offensive to someone with the same believes at a camp like that. Especially not people who are in need of their walking sticks.

How many arrests were actually made with people being in possession of the above said articles, I would have thought that would have made a much more impressive headline and given the police much more credibility than confiscating the things that were highlighted ie. crayons walking sticks ect
46 charges
22 cautions
three bound over to keep the peace
one breach of bail
on the 5th 7 arrested with 'weapons' including knives and a replica throwing star, other knives were found concealed near a fence including an adapted blade implement
on the 7th 14 arrested for going equipped
on the 9th 2 arrested with weapons and three for public order offences (there were 13 arrests that day)
sorry that's all I can find.

The United States, or at least most of them, are becoming more and more ridiculous and autocratic too. But at least for the time being where I live I may legally carry a concealed pistol. Doing so prevented me from being robbed once, so I'm a believer. I also keep an ax and a knife in my vehicle. (No extra charge for the puppy porn.)

Oblio, are those for CCW carry, or duty carry? The holsters have seen a lot of wear, wondering if you are an LEO?

Regarding all the charges laid against the protestors, I wonder what "carrying a weapon" can be translated to? (ie, is the old geezer's stick one of the "weapons"? Is the old lady's knitting scissors one of the weapons?)

Cheers,
D
