Sean Sherk Mistaken for Crime Warlord, Temporarily Detained in UK

Quote :

Oh, those wacky Brits. It appears that, while touring the UK as part of a MMA seminar tour, former UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk was accidentally pegged in connection with a well known crime boss (our guess would be Salvatore Riina) when the vehicle he was riding in was stopped at a roadblock.

After a small misunderstanding, machine gun toting bobbies descended upon Sherk and forcefully removed him from the car, which they believed to be loaded with illegal firearms. Fighters Only has the exclusive:

As he was being ferried into the area, the car he was travelling in was stopped by a roadblock and armed police swooped on the vehicle. Police had the vehicle on their database as being linked to a local man who they believe to be a key gangland figure.

Sherk thought the car was being subjected to a routine stop until it turned out to involve several carloads of police officers carrying automatic weapons, including Hechler and Koch MP5 machine guns – the UK police do not normally carry guns.

Having remained sat in his passenger seat because he had not understood an instruction to exit the vehicle, Sherk was dragged out by tense officers. They cuffed his hands behind his back and pulled him away where he was none too gently searched before being dumped on the floor.

After finding no such weaponry in Sherk’s car, “The Muscle Shark” was sent on his way with nothing more than a hell of a foreign relations story to tweet to his army of Xenophobic followers.

The report also states that Sherk took the British blunder in “good spirits”

Yeah

Gotta protect that fish and chips recipe I guess.....

This is the most awesome thing I have seen this week.

Maybe there was a tip that junie browing was in the trunk and UK police wanted to bring him to justice. just saying

Roadblocks full of cops with automatic weapons are synonymous with a free society. The fuck is going on over there?

Geeze DEP yer sure talking a lot about lack of freedom in other countries... I'm pretty sure the Patriot Act is still in play in the good old US of A.

The act, a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, dramatically reduced restrictions on law enforcement agencies' ability to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial, and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and broadened the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include domestic terrorism, thus enlarging the number of activities to which the USA PATRIOT Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.

On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act: roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves" — individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.


Heh there was that whole US constitution thing but what the hell ... "Freedom ain't Free"

Oh trust me I could go on for weeks about that fucking abortion of liberty but then I'd probably end up on a list somewhere. We just got a new one called the "Defense Authorization Act" that allows the military to apprehend and indefinitely detain anyone suspected of aiding "enemy forces", which basically means "terrorists", which is a pretty subjective word... and the kicker is that they can do it to American citizens on American soil. So if you're one of those pesky "homegrown terrorists" (they'll define that term later) then you'd better watch your back. It passed in the House and Senate, Osama threatened to veto it but he'll sign it into law once he gets his care package put in it.

So if I'm on a list somwhere, and there's a $13/hr shleppy POS reading this very post, I'd like to address him or her directly.


Fuck


You

This is getting way too political for me.

I'm gonna go and throw some recyclables in the trash while I protest on Wall Street.

Heh DEP you are the MAN.... just don't stand too close to me when those "weather satellites" start looking in your direction.

Well I'm off to kill some baby Harp seals....

Heh you said abortion too!

So this is where Sherk has been
