The hand that feeds


Paul Clarke, 27, was found guilty of possessing a firearm at Guildford Crown Court on Tuesday – after finding the gun and handing it personally to police officers on March 20 this year.

Mr. Clarke not only did what many citizens would consider their duty to do (or at least, an important deed), he did a personal favour to the state and those who "protect" it.

That's a possible 5 years (minimum) in jail in return. Thank you very much.

While Clarke may not have done the technically correct thing (presumably summon the cops to his home), he wasn't the perpetrator of any crime, he did no damage to any person or property, he did nothing wrong.

If people are fucked with to this level by the state for doing good things, doing their duties, and generally helping other innocent people, will it be any wonder if it seems like being an asshole is the only encouraged behaviour?

Our shitty authority needs a wipe.
