Sorry, I can’t help myself but post another Metro filler from today.
So it goes that a man in England was given a 5-year prison term. And his crime was?
Armed with his girlfriend’s vibrator hidden in a plastic bag, he managed to rob a betting office by threatening the personnel. Must have been like, “Don’t move punk or this Jack-the-Rabbit will vibrate the hell out of yah!”
Whew, five years for threatening a person with a vibrator! While here in Sweden, a lot of rape cases gets very limited sentence and worse, overturned completely.
Where is justice in this world, man?
Don’t forget he had the vibrator in a plastic bag, so the situation was a bit more ambiguous than it seems at first sight. I assume, when one of the female personnel asked him the classical Mae West question “Is that a gun in your bag or are you just happy to see me?”, the smart robber grinned like old Bogey and (rep)lied “Both, dollface.” And got away with it. Best regards, R.
Hej R! I agree that the gravity of the situation must have been difficult to judge. Still I’m pretty sure that had this happened in Sweden, that robber would have pleaded insanity and be sent to some psychiatric treatment in a limited period of time. Remember how much Saddam then wanted to be incarcerated in a Swedish prison facility?
My first thaught didn´t consern justice: I just felt that I would have given him anything he wanted if he just didn´t touch me with that thing… Ewww…. *feeling a bit shallow*
