It should be. But I think it's just a wartime thing.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

No, it isn't legal.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

is it legal for the police to do anything other than just sit by and watch as they are overpowered by a groups of 14 year olds. disgusting.
still, the police will be hiding in bushes soon catching speeders - the real menace to society - once all this blows over.0 -

I think its probably ok to shoot them with rubber bullets. Hopefully we will find out this evening. I cant believe people will tolerate another night of youths robbing, looting, and beating people up while the police do nothing other than stand in lines.0
