an assembelled marker in a public place is technically a section 5 firearm if memory serves. same as an air rifle...
either way, depending on the mood of her majesty it could probally be either:
Assualt
ABH
GBH
Assualt with intent to cause grevious bodily harm
Assualt with a deadly weapon
attempted manslaughter
depends on what the can prove i belive..someone with more legal know how will fill us in im sure.
im not sure that cries of "string em up by the balls" are a particulary good idea though. Im sure some of the media types could be watching and reading as this is a pbulic site, and the last thing anyone wants is a front page quote of "string em up" on the daily hate or P and J.
I am as guilty as anyone of the above, but in hindsight perhaps we should take it down a notch.
