Referring to the other thread about Beckham being knighted, this guy and the Forest fan and possibly others are much more deserving of recognition. Amazing bravery.
What a sad man. He will get a very long sentence and rightly so, but I read that the crossbow he bought online was £35. I am thinking kiddies toy
I don't know how good a crossbow has to be to cause damage or what they cost. His could have been a second-hand grown-up one maybe?
Jesus, I think I might order one. There is a cat that seems to have taken over our garden but I am fed up of clearing cat ****!
I still remember Prince Charles getting ridiculed after the Dunblane shooting, he was speaking in opposition to the proposed ban on handguns. He said something like if the baddies can't get hold of a gun they will just find something else to use as a weapon like a (he paused for thought) cricket bat. His point being it's not the item that's dangerous but the person using it. We can't just keep on banning things and let dangerous people walk the streets.
Conversely, let bad things happen in order to THEN ban things and introduce overreaching legislation.
They should certainly be awarded the George Cross for gallantry at the very least. That wasn't Charlie it was Philip his Dad.
Am I missing something? That is clearly for just the bolts. Good luck throwing them at people. I wonder how much the crossbow costs. Edit: Actually the crossbows are still only about £60.
