Common-sense gun control need not violate 2nd amendment rights. But "they" don't want you to know that. They profit by scaring you into thinking that the big bad Democrat wolf is going to take your guns away. Nonsense. No such thing as going to happen. not in this country. not in our lifetimes. But common sense gun control is perfectly feasible. We can have both but the militia must be well-regulated. #wellregulatedmilitia #guncontrol #mentalhealthcops #gunsdown https://www.instagram.com/p/CXMsTWBr1FS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just read a review post about the police and the mental health crisis, and it bought me back. This paragraph about the AWOL patient, especially caught my eye:

“They had re-detained an AWOL patient in their area, who was missing from a hospital in our area. The NHS were unable to offer a solution which returned the patient to the hospital from which he was absent – a duty which sits with them,…

People are poking fun at The Times after it described the Offences Against the Person Act as a ‘Victorian-era law’

‘They’ll have a fit when they discover where common law offences come from’

Social media users couldn’t resist indulging in a spot of Twitter-based teasing yesterday after The Times newspaper called a piece of well-known criminal legislation a “Victorian-era law”.

The description, spotted by 1KBW’s James Turner QC, appears in a short report about a 16-year-old male accused of carrying out six acid attacks in London last month.

The boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons, is facing 13 charges, six under the widely known Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (OAPA). This piece of legislation covers everything from GBH to minor assaults and features at the very beginning of LLB syllabuses.

Cue the jokes, starting with Michael Brown, a police inspector and mental health expert:

Now that is genuinely hilarious – imagine how appalled they be at 14th century laws being relied upon by the police, every single day?!

— Michael Brown OBE (@MentalHealthCop) August 16, 2017

The common law is very, very old:

They'll have a fit when they discover where common law offences come from.

*Irony klaxon*

A printed newspaper! How quaint. Its like being in 1620s Amsterdam!

Breaking!

Boy, they are going to shit when they find out about that bearded chap coming down a mountain with some stone tablets…..

Apparently, divorce law actually dates back to the Age of Aquarius:

Not me. I'm too busy dealing with the Age of Aquarius-Era divorce law

— Byron James (@byron_barrister) August 16, 2017

Though the OAPA has been and still is the go-to legislation for criminal assaults, The Times’ report appears to feed into the recent calls for new acid attack-focused laws. A spate of assaults using corrosive substances has prompted the likes of Theresa May and Sadiq Khan to float tougher sentencing guidelines and statutory reform, rather than rely on legislation enacted when acid attacks were less prevalent.

Some Twitter users don’t seem on board with this:

Newspapers only like 'new' laws like the ones they insist must be introduced every time something bad happens

— Jonathan Little (@Vectis64) August 16, 2017

Seriously?! So they need to do this to put a spin on the public about there needing to be 'new law' ?!

— Lucinda Nicholls (@LuNicholls) August 16, 2017

For others it was all just too much:

Legal journalism now just makes me quite sad

That Underground message everyone is sharing is not what it seems

Tube stations in London have been using their notice boards to send messages of hope to commuters, following Wednesday’s terror attack.

SEE ALSO: These powerful London Underground signs are going viral

Many of these images have been posted on social media and retweeted hundreds of times.

However, one image doing the rounds is not quite what it seems.

This is London. http://pic.twitter.com/sBNuFUSFOP

The message, which couldn’t be more British, says: “All terrorists are politely reminded that THIS IS LONDON and whatever you do to us we will drink tea and jolly well carry on. Thank you.”

It was also read out by Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

Upon closer inspection, the font used is incredibly similar to the one used by this simple Web app to create fake Tube signs.

Here’s an example we created:

The image was shared with good intentions by journalists, pundits and politicians alike:

Some acknowledged the image was manufactured, but still felt it captured the spirit of London:

I’ve been told the pic below is fake. I never said I took it.I said it embodied the spirit of #London which it does,wherever it came from http://pic.twitter.com/4cDDVPvWOG

Well, you learn something every day. That lovely tube sign might be “fake” but the sentiment isn’t for thousands sharing it @BBCr4today https://t.co/qrnD3JU9xW

Nick Robinson (@bbcnickrobinson) March 23, 2017

For the avoidance of any doubt this is a computer generated sign but nevertheless a sentiment shared by millions (@elenacresci) https://t.co/067AG7GVrz

Kay Burley (@KayBurley) March 23, 2017

If you want to share actual signs from London’s tube stations, here’s a Twitter moment with plenty of images to choose from.

Funding for police departments doesn't need to be complicated: fewer armed officers and more social worker-psychologist officers, in other words, mental health cops. #mentalhealthcops #police #policing #Trump #socialwork #psychology https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_sbNOrH17/?utm_medium=tumblr
