OT - Gamekeeper - take cover!!!
I read this the other day, and thought of the McCain-Palin bumper stickers I recently sent GK. I hope you don't get shot over them - especially by one of those "lethal gas-powered ball-bearing pistols"!
"A man told today how he was shot three times in a London street for wearing a Barack Obama T-shirt," reports the Daily Mail of London. Sounds like the American presidential election is causing fairly heated exchanges even in Europe. Let's read on. The man "was buying a mobile telephone top-up card in [a local shop] when the gunman confronted him and glared at [his shirt], which carries an image of the Democrat US presidential candidate underneath the legend 'Believe'." The perturbed man left the store, but the encounter soon took a horrifying twist. When the Obama supporter emerged from the store, "the attacker was waiting for him in broad daylight with a threatening-looking dog and holding a gun behind his back. Realising what had sparked the increasingly violent assault, the terrified [man] zipped
up his jacket to cover the image of Mr Obama and walked to his car." But the angry white man followed him. "The attacker then fired the gas-powered ball-bearing pistol three times, hitting the civil servant in the face, hand and shoulder." Wait a minute. "Gas-powered ball-bearing pistol"? Here in America, we're not so pretentious---it's a BB gun. The story was accompanied by a photo of the wounded man with a Band-Aid on his hand. What's worse,
the Mail didn't stop, alleging, "The potentially lethal weapons are often converted by criminals to fire real bullets." Real bullets powered by a four-inch CO2 canister? Now that's British ingenuity---and probably more than a President Obama would allow.

Re: OT - Gamekeeper - take cover!!!
I'm sure glad my car carries McCain/Palin stickers. I'd hate it if my vehicle was all shot up by a GAS POWERED BALL BEARING PISTOL.
I guess most Obama supporters over here ain't even got squirt guns for fear of appearing UN-PC.
That is except for a few that may have the odd AK47 hidden away!
The worrying thing is, the guy with the tee shirt was a Civil Servant, just goes to prove there are Dumb Butts in control of our every day lives.

That was good for a chuckle this morning, the British press is something else

Re: OT - Gamekeeper - take cover!!!
(*pronounced British accent*)...Now see here old chap, those pneumatically powered, spherical projectiles can be bloody dangerous!
Re: OT - Gamekeeper - take cover!!!
Seems like that ball bearing pistol isn't the only thing that's gas powered
I am American
Re: OT - Gamekeeper - take cover!!!
Now come on you guys. Those gas power ball bearings CAN be lethal. I used one to dispatch untold numbers of sparrows and starlings when I was a kid.

Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I'll tell you something my lad. When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! ...Hagler wrote: What about poin-ted sticks?
