.22 bullet found in Fossgate, York (Actual headline) |
2011-03-06 |
Unless someone has found a way to put a nuclear warhead on these rounds, the media and this unfortunate citizen are overreacting. A STARTLED nebbish has told how he found a bullet lying in a York city-centre puddle. Tim Stark Staring-Madd said he was unloading items into the MOR Music emporium where he works in Fossgate yesterday morning when he spotted what he supposed to be a live .22 bullet gleaming in a puddle. He said he immediately called the cops, who came and took it away. No doubt in an armoured paddywagon. "I have no idea what it was doing there," he said. Probably an unusually wimpy IED. A North Yorkshire bobby droid said the bullet had been put into safe storage, and the local gumshoes had confirmed it was not thought to be connected with any incident currently under investigation. He asked anyone with any information about the bullet and how it came to be in Fossgate to phone the force on xxx xxx xxxx. The number is at the link, in case you want to phone the N. Yorkshire bobbies and tell them Official police photo of the offending weapon system itself: |

#9 The tenor of most comments seems to be "what a bunch of maroons" those Brits are. Ahem. Same thing here in the Soviet of Hawai'i. State law is such that if you accidently leave a cartridge in your pocket after a day at the range, you are guilty of a felony. |

#7 Am I the only one thinking of Sylvester Stallone's move "Demolition Man" where everyone in the future turns into a bunch of wussies (except for Sandra Bullock, of course!) and even the police would almost faint at the sight of something like this? Until just now, I thought the idea was high fantasy. |

#4 ASBO. However, if a criminal had shot someone with it, the bullet would be immediately discharged from police custody, and the victim would be fined or imprisoned for "Interfering with the momentum of a projectile." And possibly fined for "creating a public nuisance", by bleeding on the sidewalk, instead of the "human fluids only" recycling bin. |
