Behind closed door's?

With Millwall fans yet again bringing football to the headlines for the wrong reasons, should they ALL be banned.

At todays Wembley FA cup semi final the Millwall fans started fighting amongst themselves. Not with the Wigan fans, with each other.

And as if not bad enough that they were yet again fighting in the stands, there were families - CHILDREN - in the same stand. The TV coverage shows the children crying, yet the so called fans just kept on punching & abusing each other.

The police were a bit slow to react, surely by now they should never trust Millwall fans that much.

But, in my opinion, the fans aren't learning. So, they should all be banned, and games played without any Millwall fans - the opposing team fans should be allowed, but the Millwall end left empty - home and away games.

With their team not getting any support from the stands maybe they would finally start to listen and behave.

Gun control in the USA

with all the shootings in schools, and the latest teenage cheer leader shot for being in a park, when she was mistaken for a gang member, surely they need gun control laws?

I mean, even the police can't get it right! They opened fire on a car without even confirming it was the right one - just because it LOOKED similar!

they were hunting a cop gone bad, and instead shot and woundedn 2 innocent women. If they can't confirm they have the right car, or the difference between one guy and 2 women in a car, or even manage to shoot properly if a group of them only wounded 2 people.... they need retraining!

Gun laws are a must, the old crap of 'it is our right, in the constitution, to defend ourselves' is crap and out of date - all they are doing is killing innocent people.

the world is different now, except for the gun loving idiots who can't move with the times

police cuts... get a grip

yes the police do a crap job at times, dealing with the low life's, the dreg's... the problems that today's society has created. But, no-one forced them, they chose that career path. so the fact that to save money some of the perks are being cut, or tighter controlled, is no different to any other job - especially if they worked in the private sector. Their pay isn't being cut, despite what the unions are trying to say. Just the extra's that some of them have come to expect, to take for granted, to think that they are their's by rights rather than reward. Overtime, by definition, is an extra payment on a adhoc / as n when needed basis. NOT an expected part of your pay packet. same with other allowances - the give away is in the name! As to the job cuts etc, they are facing a 20% cut, other parts of the civil service are facing up to 40% cuts and do you hear them threatening action or complaining so publicly?

Tazer gun's

What next? A man has died after being shot with tazer / stun gun's by police in Australia. But he had to be shot 28 times! This has caused human rights groups etc to question their safety? But surely if he had to be shot 28 times then he was seriously resisting arrest? Who would really want to have that number of electric shocks for fun? And, consider the alternative. If the police felt the need to tazer him, the other option was to shoot him with a standard hand gun. Maybe it's just me but he would have died with fewer that 28 bullets in him!

More proof that all they want is money

An old lady has been issued with a speeding ticket for her mobility scooter! Isn't it fantastic, give them a scooter and all of a sudden they can drive fast! haha Trouble is, it was miles from her home, she was in hospital, and the scooter has a max speed of 8mph. The police had photographic evidence. Just shows that they don't actually check anything before issuing the fines, just take the number plate, send the fine and rub their hands with glee whilst waiting for the cheque! If they had bothered to type the number plate into THEIR computer it would have told them the registered vehicle didn't match the one in the picture, saving time, money, hassle and embarrassment. To much to ask though I guess!

Waste of police time

What is it with wasting the time, and resources, of our police force nowadays. Not only do they waste time prosecuting a couple that FOUND a lottery ticket on the floor. Yes, it was a winning ticket, yes they cashed it in. But my view is the original owner lost it, they FOUND it. They didn't steal it, mug her for it or anything like that, they found it on the floor. They get an 11 month suspended sentence, yet real thieves, burglars, shop lifters, mugger's and worse get away with much less, or even just a caution... if they even get taken to court, how many get off as there is no CCTV so the good old police and CPS drop it as lack of evidence? Add to this the investigation into the fatal crash resulting from a police chase. Yes, I feel sorry that a 16 year old died, it's a waste when anyone dies. But he did steal a car, he did try and drag race a Subaru in his Mercedes, he did make off from the police after initially stopping. And he had been bailed for car theft just 24 hours earlier - bit of a pattern? So what did the police do wrong in this instance? Nothing. They did their job, and yet still get investigated for doing it. The youth that dies sped off at up to 130mph, so who is to blame here?

The law is an ass

A couple have been convicted of theft and dishonesty! For finding a lottery ticket ON THE FLOOR and then when they realised it was a winning ticket, claiming the prize. Surely if you lose your ticket, it's your loss... you don't expect someone else to find it and hand it in for you? What makes this worse is that they have actually pleaded guilty to the theft charge (what was their lawyer doing?) and been convicted. They were given an 11 month suspended sentence for this. Yet burglars, car thief's, muggers and many more get away with just a slap on the wrist, or a couple of months. How is this a fair and impartial legal system, and does it really restore any faith in it? I think no!
