Thieves, Arsonists Threaten Homes; Disarmed, UK Man Builds Trebuchet; Police Threaten Arrest


Once again, has the world gone crazy or what?

In England, where law abiding citizens and taxpayers have pretty much been disarmed, severe problems with criminals continue to rise. So one man came up with a novel way to keep the bad guys away -- fire loads of chicken poop at them using a 30-foot trebuchet. You might know it as a "catapault."

Problem: Local police have said they intend to prosecute Mr. Watson-Webb if he uses the trebuchet against arsonists or robbers.

Politicians in England, with their misguided gun bans, have created desperate times. The people, sick of crime, are coming up with desperate measures. And still, the law abiding are the ones who will be prosecuted.

That's just wrong.

Cow manure would be far more satisfying, don't you think?

Susan, thanks for writing. Cow might be more appropriate, but the chicken stuff is so potent it makes your eyes water. Now as far as a political statement, yes, cow poop, or male cowpoop, appropriate called BS, would be a rather apt description of disarmament of law abiding people against thieves, rapist and hooligans -- the yobs, as they are called by locals.
