amazingly how western countries are quick to blame countries like Romania for their treatment of gypsies (huge groups of immigrants), but then act even more miserably towards immigrants themselves. It is far easier for them to "talk" about immigration than "do something " about it.

I have a personal thing about arresting people that shoplift for food.

Personally I do believe noone should be allowed to starve and noone should have to steal for food - but I don't agree with using a 9 year old child for this.

At least (I hope) they didn't…

sakurasuki - obviously you never had the chance to see jet fuel "in person" :). You could extinguish your cigarette into it and it won't catch fire - it is a rather heavy and difficult to ignite oily liquid

lower court did the right thing, as they did not had the competence to decide him guilty after the mental exams. Anyhow, this guy should be off the streets, guilty or not (either in prison or in a mental institution), and the high court just decided this.

Article doesn't say but these chemicals were just recently declared cancerigens. Therefore I think nobody knew there are bad. It is a very good move from the maker.

I saw this happening myself (I hit someone with a ball similar with a baseball - my throw was 10 meters over the average of others - about 45 meters in total). Ouch - the guy immediately felt to the ground and vomited... Indeed, not a pretty sight.

gogogo -

: Doesn't mean anything will happen, the judge will say he is a role model, he is "truly" sorry for what he did and that he says he has learnt his lesson and will get let off.
