A Man Was Arrested In Dunfermline, Scotland, On Saturday For Carrying A Potato Peeler In A Public Place “without Reasonable Excuse” And Faces Up To Four Years In Prison.
The Dunfermline Sheriff Court confirmed to Breitbart London that Scott Walker, 39, of the James Bank Hostel, James Street had appeared Monday, charged under the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995, for carrying “an article which had a blade or which was sharply pointed, namely a potato peeler”.

Sheriff Pino di Emidio ordered that Walker should return to the court on May 16th for sentencing over the crime, for which he could receive up to four years’ imprisonment.
Local newspaper the Dunfermline Press And West of Fife Advertiser reports Walker has been in Appin Crescent, Dunfermline, with the potato peeler at the time of his arrest. The paper quotes the defence solicitor Selina McKay who said her client “suffers from significant learning difficulties which have been lifelong”. – READ MORE
Undoubtedly a white guy. If he’d been a Muslim Arab, he could have openly carried his scimitar.
So in addition to the lovely burr, they’re loony.
A potato peeler???? Sounds like Officer Friendly does not have enough to do. Maybe a RIF, reduction in forces, is needed?
This does makes the U.S.A look good. But only ‘look’ good. I did have a corkscrew confiscated by Those Silly Assholes. Not for the screw, but for the dull 1/2″ foil cutter!!! Now there’s a WMD.

One bad hombre. Probably had a hatpin in his sock for back up.
“I peeled the sheriff but, I swear it was in self defense.”
Someone please cue Monty Python.

They are a lot of potatoes sleeping better tonight for it. #Save the Potatoes.
Probably carried a 30 chip magazine too.
From the scots, who hid there weapons, and played illegal tunes on their pipes, in their centuries long struggle against english rule, the semi fully automatic peeler. Re tar ded.

What if he was wearing a kilt and had a dirk in his sock
Being mildly dislexic, i read that first as “drink in his sock”, and second as “dick in his sock”
The Scottish police seem rather thin-skinned.
Easier to lock everyone up. Nothing left to worry about after that.
Fucking morons!
