British Police Raid Cowboy-Themed Party Thinking Guns Are Real
Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Guests of a wild west-themed costume party got a scare when a posse of
armed police officers stormed into the hootenanny thinking toy guns
carried by partygoers were real, several British media outlets reported.
The festivities were held Saturday by Roy and Val Worthington of
Leicestershire, England, to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.
But the celebration quickly turned into a disaster when three police
cars and a helicopter showed up to investigate, the BBC reported.
"It was a bit over the top with the helicopter," Roy Worthington told
the BBC.
The Leicestershire Police Department, however, defended the party
crashing.
“We have a duty to treat all reports of firearms as genuine,” a police
spokeswoman told the Daily Mail newspaper.
In an interview with the BBC, Val Worthington claimed that she had
called police last November to notify them that some of her guests may
be carrying toy guns.
Well, because of idiot places with laws like Britian, that's why
over here we even invented Toy Helicopters. Since that confuses
the idiot Sherlock Holmes Wannabee wanks so much that they have
to call jerks in Britian to find out if helicopters are BBC
