At least we have pointed sticks

Oh, wait. scratch that...

Actor Darren Day guilty of carrying pointed stick

Day, who is well known for dating a string of glamorous women including actress Anna Friel, said he was shocked when he was charged by police, and had told them the item was not an offensive weapon.

But during the trial, the sheriff was told by two martial arts experts from Lothian and Borders Police that the kubotan was designed in the 1970s for use by the Los Angeles Police as a self-defence weapon and in a worst case scenario could be used to kill someone.



What better place is there for rapists and muggers to peruse their chosen career paths, than in the UK?

Where else can you be assured that every victim you choose to initiate contact with will be unarmed and under full control of you, the illegally armed one?

Where else can you be assured that the victim, if armed themselves, will face prosecution?

If given a choice, would a criminal of the above mentioned nature choose the UK, or the US states below?

Oh, for heaven's sake. You can kill someone with an HB pencil. Tesco will sell you a pack of 40, preharpened, for a quid. They are in a plastic pack so you won't get your fingerprints on them and you can pay cash.

We used to prosecute on 'intent to kill' but now, is that Parker pen in my pocket a deadly weapon? If I choose to make it so, yes it is.

Even bare hands can kill. Are we all to be prosecuted for possession of a deadly weapon?

It seems increasingly likely.
