How`s this for a judge???
He praises an idiot who damaged an arms factory in the UK...
The judge in the trial of seven activists acquitted of damaging an arms factory suggested that their leader should be awarded the George Cross for his campaign.
The seven were cleared after they successfully claimed they had acted to prevent Israeli "war crimes" when the broke into the Brighton factory on January 17, 2009.
Hailed a great victory by pro-Palestinian activists, the seven from "Smash EDO" were acquitted of causing £180,000 worth of damage to the EDO MBM factory in Brighton - which denied ever having supplied Israel with arms equipment.
In his summing-up speech, in which he attacked both Israel and the United States, Judge George Bathurst-Norman told the Hove Crown Court jury: "You may well think that hell on earth would not be an understatement of what the Gazans suffered at that time."
He also said of group leader Christopher Osmond that "The jury may feel his efforts investigating the company merit the George Cross."

My wife and I used to vacation frequently in Great Britain. No more. The country has lost its COLLECTIVE MIND!

The George Cross used to be awarded for REAL valour, as to the Shell employee who patrolled the tank farm (or the WW II equivalent) in Liverpool and removed a bomb that fell on one of the fuel tanks.
