Guns don't shoot people, mackems do

I was going to post this yesterday but Blogger was broken and so I forgot all about it.

4 mackem 'footballers' have been cruising the streets of Sunderland shooting people with an air gun. They've been arrested and cautioned.

The latest developments last night was that all 4 were suspended pending an internal investigation. This must be due to the escalation in coverage though rather than a sense of what is right. The original statement from the club when the news broke on Tuesday was along the lines of 'The players have apologised and want to put this behind them'.

This already staggeringly stupid incident (2 incidents actually as 1 of the four was arrested for a different shooting!) is even more stupid when you remember this happened there just a couple of years ago. I believe the victim has subsequently lost the use of the injured eye though I haven't found linkage to back that up. John Oster, the one firing the gun, has not to my knowledge been charged with this offence. He still 'plays' for the mackems so they obviously don't really care either.

I suppose it's too much to ask mackems to learn from mistakes as learning requires some sort of intelligence which we all know they are a bit short on.

I spent the night in Sunderland once, about 10 years ago during the little known 'Sunderland Illuminations' and I was staggered to be crawling in the car through the illuminations behind a car full of youths. They were rolling down the passenger windows, spitting out lighter fuel on to their cigarette lighters and consequently turning themselves into human flame throwers. Much to the horror of passers-by... and me, who took the next available turning off the route! Crazy Scary people!

That was probably some of their first team! ;)

You shouldn't knock the illuminations - it's not every town that celebrates getting it's first lamp post by announcing a festival of light.

Still not quite as funny as holding an international air show in a town with no airport. :)
