  1. Straight White Anglo Christian Males once again being harassed. Coming soon to this ass backwards country.

  4. I once saw 007 kill a man with a fountain pen. Quick! Station some brave British police outside Stationery Stores.

    1. You can kill someone with a pencil or the filed-down edge of a credit card.

      A tightly rolled up magazine can serve as a cudgel.

    2. Alfred Hitchcock wrote of the perfect murder weapon. It was a frozen leg of mutton.
      The victim was bludgeoned with the frozen mutton, which was then thawed and
      taken to cook at a dinner party. Sounds circuitous and time consuming, yes?
      You Americans would just shoot someone.

      As to fountain pen,

          1. I’ll just say it’s my gay marital aide … and the police will give me a pass. Because well … LGBTQueers have taken over British culture.

  5. Why didn’t he arrest the person selling the bat? If it’s a crime to buy one, it must be a greater crime to sell them.

  7. I assume a cricket bat would be totally legal. When we were kids we played cricket with a baseball bat. At least I have an excuse.

    1. Oh, you can buy a bat. You just can’t transport the bat. Besides, baseball is American.
      If he had bought and transported a hockey stick, that would have been just fine. That’s Canadian.

  10. Cops regard a bat alone as a weapon. If you have a bat get a ball and glove. Then it is sports equipment.
    Someone breaks into your house
    Scenario 1. “He used a weapon, charged with assault with a weapon.”
    Scenario 2. “He used sports equipment to defend himself.”
    That cop is still an idiot
