Barney	My first car leaked oil and water, had no heater or radio, just one working door and wiper - together with a damaged steering wheel, with a mind of its own. But it ferried me to the Wormwood Scrubs and the Hackney Marshes for football games - in anticipation of a tap on the shoulder, from an Arsenal scout. Now my car opens and starts when told, tells when where to go, what pressure is in my tyres - and allows me to converse with anyone, in any country on earth.

I say he'll be doing you a favour. I remember my first Toyota pickup truck; it was pretty much fit only for the scrap heap but it did a while. But what do you expect for $90 with a free wire hanger for the radio aerial.

Obviously this results in a high risk of death. The reason they don't shoot in arms or legs is this can't be guaranteed to stop the person advancing - apparantly they have even been known to run after being shot in leg! The only guarantee is "disabling" the central nervous system. I like the eye for an eye approach also. I think the eye for an eye approach is morally vacuous, infantile in conception and degrading to all involved. If someone stole your car and burnt it. You should be allowed to do the same or chop his hands off. And how has that been working out so far? Haven't tried it yet.

Victims R Us	Way to go, Wyot & Barney in Wild West modern UK! And, if another innocent man/femme/child victim gets burned, who cares? Quote media-savvy JK, "Just another tabloid 'Good Story' to sell to the shallow ignorant masses."
