I love that we have a law called "causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse"

IMHO, many coppers should be charged with such.

The laws don't apply to the police, that's why they always park like bellends.

I think there's a reasonable excuse: it's pretty fucking funny.

'mucking about' should be legal term imho,

Until 2022 it carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police,_Crime,_Sentencing_and_Courts_Act_2022

In their defense, a public nuisance can theoretically be very nuisant.

At Wacken 2009 I saw a guy dressed as the Grim Reaper chasing an ambulance across the campground, screaming: „YOUR NOT GONNA GET AWAY THIS EASY!!!“

Nah, that's a bit psycho. Too much edgy humor and being 26 to go anywhere with this. Large knife? Hospital? That's a no from me dawg...

Although more facts about the case would help. Was he targeting someone who deserved some mockery? Was it a real knife or a plastic knife?

I need more facts before it's fun, and not just someone with mental issues upsetting people.

I'd like to invite that man to tour the various USA federal government offices while our "leaders" are present.

That'll go well for the man... Not like people are getting snapped up in the streets over there for doing less (or nothing, or only good).

PointlessLifePersonified@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 33d

True, but at least he'd definitely fall into the "doing good' category.
