"Excuse me, but drawing weapons in the street is illegal, right?"

A late-teens (19 years old or so) Townie was sat on a muddy old saracen bike, surrounded by a small group of 4 or 5 younger neds. I think nothing of it, until I see the two thin yellow lines of a stretched slingshot elastic, as he points his slingshot jokingly at one of the group surrounding him. This is happening about 20 metres down the road from the entrance to my school, at the ending 10 minutes of dinnertime when everyone who leaves usually returns. The slingshot he was carrying wasn't a makeshift twig-and-rubber-band thing, it was a proper hunting slingshot. The first thing I thought was "Har, my slingshot's better", and secondly I thought "holy crap.". I'm not amazed he had a hunting slingshot like that - you can pick them up for barely over 15 quid these days.

Quite surprised and dumbfounded by this new level of stupidity - I almost even approached the bloke and said, "I just wanna tell you that drawing slingshots in public like this is seriously illegal - coppers are gonna give you hell if they see you."

Then I think - this is nuneaton - Coppers do naff all.

That bloke could have injured any one of us schoolkids, and he'd have a bike to speed away on over the recreation grounds, where it'd be difficult for coppers to access with cars.

Idiots.

Ahaha, if you actually read what the pyro said...

Says who?

It's not illegal, unless you call it graffiti maybe. I've seen guys sketching AK47's and stuff, and they use chalk.

what kind of weapon not from a pocket at the front i hope

Bah to SRs gay linking system.

The police force is pretty useless. The individual officers, mostly, aren't.

Should have uprooted the Dog-Mess bin placed near to where he was sat and plonked it over his head, so he's blinded, confused AND silent.

Then I'd take his slingshot and his bike.

You should've beated him to death with a fire extinguisher.

I do that all the time.

Pretty rough down Nuneaton, so ain't surprised at that happening.

I've seen it kill a guy.
