British man arrested in England for posing with shotgun while on vacation, IN FLORIDA!
John Richelieu-Booth, a 50-year-old self-employed IT contractor from England, was arrested by British police after returning home from a vacation in Florida for posing awkwardly while holding a Remington 870 shotgun in the Sunshine State.
Richelieu-Booth told the British newspaper The Telegraph that he was completely shocked by the “Orwellian” decision made by his local constabulary, the West Yorkshire Police, who first warned him about the picture he posted on his social media but then arrested him several hours later.
Criminal charges against the man changed over time.
Richelieu-Booth was first charged with “possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence” and even stalking after he posted the now infamous photo. However, these charges were later dropped.
Another charge of posting “any writing/sign/visible representation with intent to cause harassment/alarm or distress” was filed but also dropped. Apparently, Richelieu-Booth then faced what the British legal system calls a “public order offence.”
Thankfully, all charges now appear to have been dropped, and Richelieu-Booth is…
RIDICULOUS!
When a nation falls to the enemy, it is never pretty. Remember all those in the South that were hanged for no good reason by the Northern Aggression Army after we laid down our arms. I believe the Northern politicians called it reconstruction while the carpetbaggers stole everything they could get their filthy civilian hands on, and you can bet none of them fought in the Army of Northern Aggression, they just followed along behind like the whores they were.
