What do we think people, 6 months in the slammer to reflect of the "amusement"?

Much appreciated to the journalist who then posted a picture of a random guy wearing a balaclava for those of us who don’t know what a balaclava is.

^^^ Our local rag also has a policy of trying to find a picture to fit every story (even when they've not got one).

So any news item involving the police shows a standard picture of a copper knocking on a door (in case we've forgotten what coppers look like), anything involving a road accident shows us an unrelated picture of a 'road closed' sign, anything about an incident on a train shows a standard picture of a train (even though they'll use a picture of an electric train at station A, when the incident happened at station B on a non-electrified line) and so on.

Given the quality of the journalism on our local rag though, they're probably employing staff who can't read anything without pictures!

Like the Muricayne troo craam stuff that has to have a siren whooping every 15 seconds in case folk forget that it's a (very short if you remove all the repetition) police programme.

Lucky he wasn't in the US of A, where he would probably have got a bullet instead of a jail term for his efforts at humour!

Seems a bit harsh but it depends how the people in the pub reacted, was it in London or Manchester. A stupid thing to do

[waterboatman]

12 months at least. That is in any way funny! The eejit could have been shot!

[waterboatman]

is NOT in any way funny.

I would compare this to carrying a fake firearm. This action could have caused a stampede of people trying to leave the pub and deaths can occur in these circumstances.

I blame the Internet and video uploads.

if they catch this guy, the bigger transgression - at least in the eyes of the "right-on" - would be cultural appropriative racism, surely?

Sounds about right.
