How Heroes Are Treated in Airstrip One
Posted by Dave Blount at June 15, 2008 7:50 PM
In the wretched remnants of Great Britain, no good deed goes unpunished:
A one-legged Royal Navy veteran was arrested after he rescued his neighbour from being harassed by two men.
Stephen Beerling, 52, dialled 999 and raced to help the women and her baby after hearing screams during the night.
But he was arrested when officers spotted a retractable truncheon he had picked up in case he had to protect himself.
Beerling has been wearing a prosthesis since 2004, when he lost his leg while serving with the Navy. In return for a night in jail, he received a valuable lesson about the country he lost a limb for.
Defense of the innocent is no longer to be permitted of private citizens. The Government will see to all. Good citizens are merely to sit passively and await instructions. The Government will feed them in return for their votes, so long as they don't do anything foolish like take personal initiative.
On a tip from Byron.
