UK: Man Arrested For Possessing a Potato Peeler
h/t Gates of Vienna
While violent crime in the UK continues to soar and grooming gangs roam the streets, a man in Scotland was imprisoned and charged for the crime of possessing a potato peeler in public.
No, this isn’t the Onion.
"A man ended up behind bars after being found in a Dunfermline street with an offensive weapon, a potato peeler," reports the Dunfermline Press.
The man, who has "significant learning difficulties," subsequently appeared in court and was charged with "possession of an object that which had a blade or was sharply pointed."
39-year-old Scott Walker will return to court on May 16th for sentencing.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the USA campaign to bun "Assault Weapons", does it?
