    Indeed. The US is renowned for pulling this kinda stuff. I laugh at retards who think the UK, US or other developed countries enjoy democracy.

    Other stuff they have done recently was a citizen that was taking pictures of city architecture during his lunch break and instead got hauled off in to an FBI building and detained as he had mistaking taken a picture of a government building. Or in the past couple of weeks, there were a couple of silly scallywags from the UK that made poor jokes on faecesbook and got detained at LA.

    I worry about the company you keep. Are you sure you are not a recruitment agent?

    That defence worked for Ernest Saunders. (Ernest Saunders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Maybe Darren should have squirreled away more to bribe the judge with?
