Video shows monk seal pup playing with knife [More]There's no excuse for that!
And I just thought of something: If there really is NO excuse, if there's NEVER a reason, and if anyone who does will be caught and feel the full force of the law, is he prepared to take religion-commanded kirpans from and punish London's "large Sikh population"?
And that calls to mind our own "knife control" laws, and the attendant religious preference discrimination against the rest of us in spite of a crystal clear "make no law respecting an establishment of religion" commandment to government" proscription.
It figures the snarky hive insects at Slate are all for taking knives away from subjects, too.

I've said this elsewhere, but I think it deserves sharing here, too.
ReplyDeleteIf the working people of London had any spine left, all of His-Excellency-the-Mayor's chef-prepared meals would be served whole -- all meats would be skin on, with head, feet, and innards intact; breads unsliced; fruits and veggies uncut and full of seeds. Naturally, they'd all be either under- or overcooked, and inedible.
His-Excellency-the-Mayor's palatial home's grounds would also be growing wild and unkempt, and he himself would be growing wild and unkempt; no gardener or barber would accept him as a client.
After all, if all knives, scissors, and garden shears are now "dangerous weapons" and there's "never a reason to carry" or use them (the phrase "no legitimate ... purpose" comes to mind) -- no exceptions! -- then we wouldn't want to be endangering His-Excellency-the-Mayor's well-being by having them around, would we?
This kind of stupidity should have consequences. Sadly, though, there are no men left in The Place Where Great Britain Used To Be.
