London acid attacks, now classified as a dangerous weapon

[clearconscience]

London has had a stream of acid attacks by teens lately.
Two have been arrested in a connection of several attacks.

Now the govt wants to classify chemicals as a dangerous weapon.

That's a horrific attack, however, making everything a dangerous weapon won't stop attacks.

Then we would have to put you on a Form4, pay $200 and wait a year before we could enjoy your wit once again

Abel would probably tell you it was Cain, not the rock, that he found dangerous.

At some time in the past, there must have been a number of horrific biting attacks in Britain...
...because it appears that Dentists have been banned for quite some time.

Obviously you've never heard of the booming dentures company, "London bridges".

How about those convicted of committing acid attacks being dismembered and fed to pigs. That would put a stop to them overnight. It wouldn't cost much at all, just get 4 horses and some rope, you could reuses the horse and the rope many times over.

So then when a person is being attacked by a "dangerous weapon" (a.k.a. acid), are they then permitted to defend their life with deadly force via drawing their firearm and placing several rounds center mass??

We all know the answer here. It's Britain of course.

I assumed their plan to classify acid as a dangerous weapon was to ensure such [mostly non-fatal] horrible assaults would result in more severe punishment for the perpetrators. Then I read the following BBC article....

How long did it take to decide this?

The most accurate line in the whole story, "...we need to get more intelligence...".

In other news about unexpected dangers, this just in from Charlotte, North Carolina

A person who "passed gas" on an American Airlines plane on Sunday afternoon forced all passengers off the jet, officials said.
The flight, which was not identified by RDU officials, landed at the airport around 4 p.m. after passengers became ill with nausea and headaches, according to a spokesperson with Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
All the passengers were taken off the plane. After the incident was investigated, it was determined that a passenger "passed gas," the official said. Authorities later said that the incident was a "medical call" and directed all questions to Wake County EMS.
RDU officials did not identify where the plane was from or its destination or what type of aircraft was involved.

A life sentence with a minumim of 6 years in one case cited is not a life sentence, it is merely six years with the very good possibility of parole. Life sentences are meaningless in most cases, only makes the judicial system look like it is doing something when it is not.
