Footage of shots being fired at the police during the Birmingham riots is released to the public. Douldn't see the weapon in any detail but I'm pretty sure it was a converted replica or BB gun.
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.

Replace "ginger" with "n*gger," and suddenly it become a lot less funny, doesn't it?

It's damned near always a converted replica.

Indeed, and when it isn't it's often a stolen "trophy of war", an old Webley revolver or something that belonged to a veteran of one of the wars.
