UK riots: collateral damage

UK riots zero tolerance.jpg

Restoring order, UK style. Yup, that’s a rifle pointed at a prone 15-year-old boy:

Each of the boys had their names and addresses taken and police tore open one of their rucksacks which appeared to contain boxes of smarties and food from Greggs.

Meanwhile, a woman on social assistance is being put on the street by a Conservative-run town council—because her son has merely been accused of rioting.

There is also a growing clamour to deny rioters social assistance—that should really lower the ol’ crime rate.

“Zero tolerance,” they call this. Well, we always knew that was about the right measure when it comes to conservatives.
