The british were long known for pragmatic and sober views until WWII and then something happened. It seems the lie promulgated by Himmler and his ilk infested the body politik of Great Britain like a cancer. The English could fix their dreadful violent street crime statistics overnight by allowing law abiding private citizens to possess firearms. The drunken yob outside the pub might think twice about pulling a knife if he thinks there's a good possibility he might get his head blown off. The ability to deter violence by having the ability to counter violence with violence has been shown innumerable times empirically to work. Good luck brits. I hope there's time to win your country back from the social engineers. I know the story is about pepper-spray but the social issues are deeper.
Thank God for the Fourth Amendment.
Or has it been superseded by "Return of the Son of the Patriot Act?
Even the leftist imbeciles in the California legislature figured out this was stupid and did away with our ban on pepper spray. Great Britain is beyond redemption.
What's not mentioned is that the girls had their pepper spray confiscated. They spent the remainder of the evening "entertaining" a group of 20 liquored up yobs.
I think the Brits need to quit drinking that water from the Thames.
No state has the right to deny a human being the means of self-defense.
