Watch out for Angry Mobs

Recently a man in Florida was beat up because of suspicions that he sexually assaulted a child. COME ON, USA, DON'T BE THAT GUY!!

By "that guy", I of course mean the UK. Gary Glitter, convicted pedophile, didn't want to leave Vietnam. Fair enough, the weather's great, and he obviously had access to girls. But one reason he gave for not wanting to return to Britain was that he feared for his safety.

The Angry Mob is alive and well in Britain, just look at the latest Angry Mob, the anti-facists protesting MP Nick Griffin of the BNP appearing on the BBC's show Question Time. Anti-facists, facists, I've said before that the hard-left often looks like the hard-right. To-may-to, to-mah-to.

Of course, in the UK they're not known as "Angry Mobs". They're known as "People". Or "Protests". These "Protests" have caused serious injury to suspected pedophiles before.

It is a little worrying that these Angry Mobs are called Protests. It seems the government in the UK doesn't discriminate. Angry Mob, Protest, Domestic Extremist... To-may-to, not To-mah-to?

But to return to the topic, come on, Americans. You're better than gross cowardly viglanteism. You love lawyers! You love the Constitution! You love "innocent until proven guilty"! Let's not be all Middle Ages Angry Mobs with pitchforks.
