Title: Mugging
Post by: Orcs on 24 May 2012, 10:04:38 AM

No I am not refering to the latest price increases.

My partners boss know I wargame and just related the following tale.

His mate who was mugged on the way home from his wargaming meet last Friday. Three youths produced knives and demanded he give them what was in his box file - they thought it was an ipad or a laptop.  You'll be pleased to hear that they didn't want the lead soldiers when he showed them what was inside!!!

Shits like those should be treated to some extremist Muslim justice, 1st offense, lop of the left hand, 2nd offense, lop off the right hand, 3rd offence, well there's no penalty for that, the guy is "armless" after all.

Sorry if I come on a bit strong, but I am totally sick of our namby pamby state, mug a granny and leave her for dead, "You are hereby sentenced to 3 months community service", it makes me sick.

Bring back hanging, transportation, birching and Borstals, thats what this country needs.

My mate Walther ( about twice as wide as tall) was jumped in Germany by 3 youths (under 14 - no to be prosecuted)

One of them lost 3 teeth, second one misteriously had his own knife in the ribcage and the third brave punk ran away when he saw what happened.

Lesson learned: First defend your life, then ask questions.

When questioned the guy without teeth admitted the beating waas a better lesson than prison..well..so be it.
