Toronto Cops Ticked-off by Controversial T-shirts
Aug, 26 2005 - 9:00 AM
TORONTO/640TORONTO - Some T-shirts being worn by young people in Toronto are irritating Toronto cops. The shirts have a picture of a gun, with the captioon, "Rule 1: Be Armed.''
The shirts aren't illegal, just in bad taste.
Sgt. Rob Hargan says kids wearing them will be "hassled.''
But 640 Toronto crime expert and host of The Beat Craig Bromell says that's about all police can do because there's nothing illegal about them.
There are suggestions that two of the shirts have been seized.

Probably a good idea. If the Canadians go ahead like their UK and Australian brethren and ban guns, the gun death rate from violent assault by criminals will skyrocket.
Best bet is to get armed now before that happens.

Irritated cops often result in destroyed people, pets, and property.
You Canucks better straighten up out there, eh?

When I was young and a lot dumber, we'd go up into Canada and whenever we'd see a Mountie, we'd start up a conversation about Dudley Do-Right cartoons. You could see the smoke and steam coming out their ears, they'd get so pissed. Dumb, dumb, dumb...

Well it IS rule one down here in Florida, where C&C are routine. - issued after training (non felons).
And the Castle Doctrine seems to be doing just fine, as well.

"Sgt. Rob Hargan says kids wearing them will be "hassled."
So now we know. Let the criminals go and hassle those who express their opinions, except and unless they are expressing their opinion in support of the terrorist and against the United States..

Sgt. Rob Hargan says kids wearing them will be "hassled.'' That's strange... I would have bet that 'hassling' must have been outlawed by now in Canada...

I wonder if anyone remembers those 7UP commercials that got them so steamed?
