Using an obscure law that allowed police to seize the assets of criminals, the UK police have raided over 6,700 safety deposit boxes. What is very scary about this? Besides of course that they didn’t just raid the boxes of criminals. They cut them all open with angle grinders, cataloged the contents, and then basically said you had to prove you obtained the items (money, jewels, etc…) legally.

One survivor of Nazi Germany in his seventies told us how he had placed a bag of diamonds there – security if ever he or his descendents needed to run again.
‘
My wife and I had escaped from Germany with nothing but these gems,’ he said. ‘She sewed them into our clothing before we crossed occupied Europe, reaching Britain by ship when the jewels were snipped out and locked up.’

There was a rabbi too, Yitzchak Schochet, of Mill Hill Synagogue, who said: ‘Safety deposit boxes are supposed to be confidential. The whole situation was very unsettling and an intrusion of privacy.’

I’m sorry, but unless I have no other option, I will NEVER travel to the UK.

I know this is a quick small article. I’ll have some more soon! Stay tuned!

I have mentioned and talked about Marie Morrow in Aurora, CO before. See is the commander of the school drill team, a model student, and is also facing expulsion for a school’s zero tolerance policy.

Marie Morrow is likely to find out today whether she will be expelled from school for having fake rifles used as props in a youth marine group on school grounds.
The 17-year-old Cherokee Trail High School senior was suspended Feb. 5 after other students saw the props in her vehicle and notified school officials.

They weren’t even real and they were used in a school function!

Colorado has a “zero-tolerance” law when it comes to guns on school campuses, and even a facsimile of a gun or rifle that looks real is considered a dangerous weapon.

They also have a zero brain policy. Laws are there to protect people and punish those will mal-intent, but it seems they are also being exercised to ensnare and punish people who make innocent mistakes.

Zachary Christie is a all around good 6 year old boy. He just joined the cub scouts and got a camping spoon, fork, and knife combo unit and was so excited he brought it to school to eat at lunch with. OK, so the kid made a mistake. Take it away, give it to parents, and maybe have a meeting with them. Something reasonable right?

Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, fork and spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scouts that he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he had violated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary was suspended and now faces 45 days in the district’s reform school.

In many way, this term “zero tolerance” seems to be a blanket excuse to prevent school administrators and anyone else from using their brain. I don’t want to have to make a mistake and try and determine intent here so I’m going wear my “zero tolerance” hat. Well, I’m sorry, but school administrators here need to start smartening (ironic for where they work) and try and bring some wisdom into their descisions.
