True enough. The alternative could have been 7 rounds of 9mm ammo.

they should have referred him to the courts of the land that uphold all our 'rights' here and promptly given him a community service order (suspended) of 2 or 3 nano-seconds :dozey:

As unfair as it seems, I think we should forget about what has happened up to now and only punish people from this moment.

We need to get this all under control before we start arresting people, the last thing we need is photos of muslims being arrested for protesting because the line between violent and peaceful protest will not be seen by some and inflame them more.

I do think they should have been arrested, I do think this has been a over-reaction and I do think the cartoons were insulting and unjustifyed.

People died today and we need to stop things getting worse

It's entirely possible that he'll end up doing the rest of his time for the drugs offence because of it.

That's the mostly likely route for him doing (more) time.

And have the riots that other countries have seen, with the global reprocussions too?
Personally I'd rather arrests were made without people getting injured.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

And I wonder how many will be arrested though? Most of the people I saw with offensive banners had their identities nicely hidden.

It's just the injustice of it all - the threat of violence from the Muslim extremists seem to have ensured that most of them will get away with it. Police can take as many photos as they want but I doubt any of the protestors will have smiled for the camera.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

I know, it is infuriating to have the police stand by and not try and stop it happening, but the more it happened the more evidence the police obtained.
I'll be shouting and screaming if nothing comes of it, believe me, but I think considering how hot muslim blood apparently can flow, it was the most sensible course of action.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

Exactly - it seems they can get away with more because of who they are.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

I keep hearing that the majority of Muslims are peaceful and tolerant and whilst it maybe true that many are helping the police and intelligence services, I think it would not harm relations between all faiths and races if the majority of these peaceful and tolerant people proved it. Maybe they could hold a rally or march, if nothing else it would show the world that we are a united country and that the extremists and terrorists had no support here. Sadly though it is probably wishful thinking.

They haven't got away with it yet.

Think of this, many in the middle east consider all westerners to be heathen godless islam haters.
Do you feel the urge to put them right?
No of course not, you know that you're not a heathen godless islam hater, so you've never seen the need to go on a march showing it.

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

That's why I said 'seems'.

Let's just see how many people are prosecuted for what happened that day. There were a lot of them, the police supposedly have evidence, it'll be interesting I think.

There's good programme on channel 5 right now by the way...

Re: Should they be published in the UK?
 

This is true but people are worried, all I am saying is maybe there is more they could do to relieve the tensions, the chances are this whole thing will fizzle out, until the next time.
