Rioting getting silly now

[BB100]

A man in a wheelchair yesterday entered a busy butchers in Catford and started to openly put packs of meat under his coat. When the customers told on him, he turned and barricaded the door with his chair and presenting an iron bar threatened to kill anyone who went near him. After 20 minutes of customers trapped in the shop the police arrived enmass in four vans. Has someone put something in the water?

A butcher, his colleagues and a load of customers fail to defend themselves against a man with no use of his legs?? Please...

Not exactly a riot. Sounds like the guy is in genuine need of help.

If you must know the customers were elderly, and the wheelchair user proclaimed himself a rioter, not me. Yes I did think it was funny and ridiculous, especially the over-reaction by the police - probably overstaffed at the mo me thinks.

Wheelchair or not, I'd like to see him try to jump the queue at Wm Rose. On a Saturday.

Is it bad that I find this statement funny every time I attempt to post a butcher-related quip on this thread?

And do these crazy people wear wrap-around goggles and sport numerous metal badges on the lapels of their denim waistcoats?

My grandfather once jumped over the butchers counter and attacked the butcher with one of his own knives. The butcher ran into the cold room and wouldn?t come out until the cops came to settle granddad down. He wasn?t a rioter my granddad. Just annoyed.

I don?t think he had the same highly developed sense of zen that I do.

Brilliant anecdote about your grandfather. Thought there'd be some comments enquiring what his beef was with said butcher. But no, nothing.

Not a sausage.
