    What's up with this Brickbat? Totalitarian regime acts like a totalitarian regime? It's not unusual or even antithetical to their proscribed policy...

    Wierd.

  2. Suthenboy   13 years ago

    At least he should have seen this coming. How about the guy who got arrested in england for having the wrong look on his face?

    1. Res Publica Americana   13 years ago

      Can you imagine the pants-shitting hysteria that would take place if some guy were seen carrying a gun on his hip down some street in London? They'd deploy the Royal Marines and shit, too.

      1. Whiterun Guard   13 years ago

        They'd probably be all right with it if it was some upper class twit.

        1. Res Publica Americana   13 years ago

          They'd nuke the site from orbit. For public safety. And to ensure the peace is not breached.

          1. Whiterun Guard   13 years ago

            Nah, they'd just send Jeremy Clarkson out to punch him effeminately in the face.

            1. invisible furry hand   13 years ago

              He's too busy complaining about how how Britain is a nation of bastards to get stuck in

              1. Whiterun Guard   13 years ago

                You never insult a Brit's dog. They take that shit seriously.

      2. Rich   13 years ago

        Remember the Fossgate bullet find mystery?

  3. Anonymous Coward   13 years ago

    Dadkhah, who has represented several political and human rights activists, was convicted of acting against the national security.

    The hit show, Acting Against the National Security, coming soon to America.
