Situational awareness goes out the window. What happens when a masked person with a large mallet confronts an innocent citizen legally carrying a firearm? Someone is going to win a stupid prize, most likely ranging somewhere between 115 and 230 grains of stupid prize.īut, there in lies the danger too. Coming up against someone with a gun is quite another. Running through a parking garage dressed as a clown with a huge hammer and making someone wet themself is one thing. I must admit, the first few videos I watched on social media were quite funny. It seems there is a rash of what is most likely teens, possibly a bit older who think it is hilarious to dress up as a scary clown and run around popping out of a wooded area or parking garage trying to scare people. Most of all, understand the difference between a prank and a real threat! That being said, do not fall victim to social media hype. Of course this graphic is meant to be humorous, but situational awareness is no laughing matter. However, it does rank somewhere around the threat we face on a daily basis from the common street criminal-clowns. It does not equal the threat posed by terrorists or the Iran nuclear deal. I am not sure if it is up to the level of the presidential race or violence on the streets of Chicago, Detroit, or a handful of other major cities. She said the “extreme” powers were of concern to 6 million people in Britain with a claim to dual nationality.Ī Home Office spokesperson welcomed the decision, saying: “The government’s priority remains maintaining the safety and security of the UK and we will robustly defend any decision made in doing so.It seems there is a new threat facing Americans. Sayeeda Warsi said citizenship-stripping powers “have been used almost exclusively against Muslims, mainly of south Asian, Middle Eastern and African heritage, creating a two-tier citizenship system completely at odds with British values of fairness and equality before the law.” David Davis, the vice-chair of the all-party parliamentary group on trafficked Britons in Syria, said it was “a shameful abdication of responsibility and must be remedied”. Senior Conservatives also condemned the government’s treatment of Begum. Britain is the only G20 country that strips citizenship in bulk and the last of our allies refusing to repatriate its nationals from north-east Syria.” “Despite today’s decision, the government’s racist citizenship-stripping policy remains unsustainable and badly out of step with security partners like the US.
She was groomed online as a child and the UK should take responsibility for her as it would any trafficked British teenager. Maya Foa, the director of Reprieve, said: “The court accepted that there is good reason to believe that Shamima Begum was a victim of trafficking. The judges also said they were “concerned by the SyS’s apparent downplaying of the significance of radicalisation and grooming in stating that what happened to Ms Begum is not unusual”.Ġ0:45 Shamima Begum's lawyers vow to fight decision after she loses UK citizenship appeal – video
However, he noted that “the idea that Ms Begum could have conceived and organised all of this herself is not plausible”. Jay said that while “many right-thinking” people would take issue with the assessment of the home secretary’s advisers that Begum’s travel in 2015 was voluntary, it was not for the commission to decide it was involuntary and then accord more weight to that finding than to the threat she posed to national security. “Reasonable people will profoundly disagree with the secretary of state, but that raises wider societal and political questions which it is not the role of this commission to address.” This secretary of state, speaking through Sir James, maintains that national security is a weighty factor and that it would take a very strong countervailing case to outweigh it. He wrote: “It is for the secretary of state to decide what is in the public interest, and how much weight to give to certain factors, subject always to this commission intervening on ordinary administrative law principles. He said it was for those advising the home secretary to consider and assess whether Begum’s travel was voluntary. Mr Justice Jay, who wrote the judgment, published on Wednesday, on behalf of the Siac panel, said that although there was credible suspicion that Begum “was recruited, transferred and then harboured for the purpose of sexual exploitation”, that was “insufficient” for the commission to deem the home secretary’s decision unlawful. In February 2019, the then home secretary, Sajid Javid, stripped her of her British citizenship after she was discovered in a refugee camp in north-east Syria. Begum was 15 when in 2015 she left her home in east London with two schoolfriends to travel to Syria.
