UK: Jail Time for Revving Engine in a Racist Manner
A motorist in Scotland, UK is fined $238 and sent to jail for two days for the crime of revving his Lotus Esprit in a racist manner.

Lotus EspritScottish motorist Ronnie Hutton, 49, was jailed for two days for the crime of "revving his car in a racist manner" last September. After waiting more than a year to try the case, the Stirling Sheriff court finally convicted Hutton last week of breach of the peace and fined him £150 (US $282).

An off duty officer, Chief Inspector Eoin Jenkins, said Hutton had revved the engine of his Lotus Esprit near two Muslims last year. After Hutton dismissed Jenkins' concern with an expletive, Jenkins immediately dispatched two police officers to Hutton's home where he was taken and thrown in jail for two days without formal charges. Hutton explained that his revving had nothing to do with nearby pedestrians, rather, he was keeping his temperamental and expensive V8 engine from stalling and being damaged.

"To be convicted for revving my car in a busy street is hard to take," Hutton told the Sunday Mail newspaper. "Does this mean anyone driving a noisy car in Scotland is now a criminal?"

Asked in court why the man may have revved his engine, Hana Saad, 23, said through an interpreter, "Maybe because we are Muslim."

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've stopped even trying to figure out what the hell they're thinking across the pond. This one just takes the cake...

Get used to it... it's where we are headed in this country as well. We apologize for everything and yield all common sense to apathy. That police chief should have had the shit kicked out of him.

Thats the problem that has been going on everywhere. Muslims move in and we are expected to kiss their ass.

I heard a racist helicopter once... the little propeller would go "guinea-guinea-guinea" and the big propeller would go "whop-whop-whop".

When I mentioned it to the pilot, he told me to go Naples.

If you think that's bad, I won't even go into what my sprinkler does.

Seriously...WTF? This is where we are headed though, Obama & his crowd idolize Europe and all the insanity over there, which is why they're working so hard to make the US just like Europe.

Revving an engine in a racist manner....you have GOT to be kidding.

Headed? No we are already there. maybe not to that point, but on the way for sure. The Patriot Act is one of the biggest threats to our everyday life. We have no right to privacy any longer. Cameras installed everywhere you go so Big Brother can watch every move you make. School boards allowed to come up with ridiculous polices, Hell when I drove to school we all had shotguns and rifles in our trucks, we carried Buck knives, smoked and even carried aspirin, god forbid.
When we were bad, we got our ass kicked by the teacher and then again when we got home. We knew Respect and we knew we had to earn it.
Now we have a influx of immigrants, both legal and illegal trying to force us to conform to their society and customs.

The U.K. is no longer recognizable comparing it to the former glory it once was. An entire country controlled by women and adult children.

Any decent Brit's should be ashamed of themselves for allowing it to get that way.

I hear people drive down my block all the time playing their "racist music"...I wonder if I can press charges.

carried aspirin
