Then after someone uses an umbrella for self defense they will be banned as well.

I used an umbrella for self defense once. Against a sketchy pedal cab driver in Beijing. Worked pretty well.

Well this is very impressive, sounds like you paid attention while watching Steed in the TV series Avengers.

Emma Peel! Be still my heart while you speak into my eyes with your English accent!!!

**************************************************************************************************************************************

Kudos to the civilian defenders for keeping the terrorist at bay with a fire extinguisher and a narwhal tusk!!!

By the way, where in heck did he find a handy narwhal tusk in time of need???

Due to the English non-observance of the human right of self defense, the Crown Court will now charge these 2 civilians with grievous bodily harm against the BG. <Sarcasm, not a true piece of news>

I believe I read that there is a fish market nearby and it was a wall decorations.

Breaking: Parliament has moved to ban long pointy wall decorations.

<Sarcasm, not a true piece of news for now>

(One wonders if the shop keeper selected that wall decoration on purpose, just in case)

Yes be still my heart - Emma Peel.

By the way, the news stated that the narwhal-wielder was a Polish chef.

He's a good example of how tough Poles can be. Of course, the fire extinguisher guy also had warrior spirit with his improvised selection.
