Sorry, wrong house: Drug squad's sledgehammer raid nets a dinner lady drinking teaOr "We're the "Only Ones" Earl Grey Enough?
Tell me this doesn't have all the makings of a Monty Python skit:
Head 3: Oh stop bickering and let's go have tea!At least this time, the reporter notes, there weren't any dummies in the house. Oh, wait...
Head 1: All right, all right, let's kill him first, and then go have tea and biscuits.
Head 2: Yes.
Head 3: Oh not biscuits.
Head 1: All right all right, not biscuits, but let's kill him anyway!

Yeah, they screwed up and hit the wrong house. What I found most interesting abou this story was the difference in attitude between our "only ones" and the "only ones" across the pond.
ReplyDeleteThey break in. They recognize immediately that something is wrong. They apologize. They make repairs. They send a spokesperson with flowers. Yes, they were wrong, but they took responsibility for it.
Our "only ones" would have broken in and had the woman on the ground with a boot or gun barrell on her neck. Odd's are she'd have been cuffed and locked in a cruiser before anyone even thought to look around and figure out that they were in the wrong place. She'd then be charged with resisting so that they could avoid taking responsibility for hitting the wrong house.
