<![CDATA[Britain Death Watch]]>This sort of nonsense has been going on for years in Britain. But here’s yet another example of the police siding with the hoodlums instead of the victims.

For more than two years, Sydney Davis’s house has been under siege from youths throwing stones.

After two hours of bombardment in the latest attack and no sign of the police, the 65-year-old retired builder decided enough was enough.

As a particularly large missile landed in his kitchen, he grabbed a plank of wood from the garden and ran towards the gang to scare them away.

The police arrived just in time – to arrest Mr Davis for possession of an offensive weapon.

The stone-throwers are referred to as just “youths”. Makes me suspicious. What sort of youths are known to attack people in Wiltshire? (Three guesses.)

Update:

Jonah Goldberg on that whirring sound.
