"Young people who carry knives will be made to visit hospitals where stabbing victims are treated, in a bid to shock them into changing their behaviour.

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said seeing "gruesome" injuries would be a tougher deterrent than sending all knife carriers in England and Wales to jail. "

Errmm...I believe you'll find she never said this. In fact she just wanted doctors to get up off their lazy butts and spend the day meeting f**king hoodies instead of attending to their patients, you stupid,stupid, stupid government bint my God when will you lot just. Leave.

"Faced with widespread derision after having announced on Sunday that knife offenders should be forced to visit their victims in hospital, Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, denied having done so and insisted she had only proposed that criminals meet doctors to hear about the consequences of their actions."

See it wasn't her, she didn't do it, honest.

surely this is more about being able to spot the difference between a gun and a mobile phone/wallet/can of beer.

the colour of the skin was surely not what you were looking at when trying to hit the correct key

in addition to this it could quite easily be 'rigged' in that if the pictures of the black people have the gun larger or more prominent than the picture of the white guys.

it tries to make a point but there are too many other factors to consider it as nothing more than a bit of a gimmick

having said that I bet I shot the ginger guys quickest of all

[Churchill]

I didn't feel picked on, so no worries there.
You make a very good point, which I fully accept and agree with.

There's always a first time!

[ace00]

Hmm...

I shot everyone. Looks like my PC is about 80ms faster than yours Zeity.

Well you say that, but you shot the armed white guy 75% quicker than the armed black guy.
I think that's racialism in anyone's book. Poor armed white guys.

[Platypus]

Platypus, I'm not picking on you, merely making a point. At least you were brave enough to have a go and even braver to publish your stats. They do make for uncomfortable reading as the original article in the Sunday Times pointed out.
