Story here. Excerpt:

'A SCHOOLBOY was forced by police to give a DNA sample - for chucking McDonald's ketchup.

Zach Cameron, 15 - a twice-weekly bible student - lobbed the tiny pot of sauce at a girl diner for making "nasty" comments when he took the daughter of his pastor for a burger.

His 14-year-old "victim" complained to cops that it got in her hair - and days later Zach was summoned to a police station where he was also fingerprinted.

Shocked Zach said yesterday: "It was crazy. I know I should not have thrown the sauce but it was only a tiny bit." His outraged mum Dawn, 42, said: "This all started when Zach was defending the daughter of his church pastor who was being abused by this girl.

"He realises now it was a silly thing to do but it wasn't the crime of the century."

She blasted police for doing nothing when SHE was victim of a road rage attack, or when husband James, 43, was assaulted in a pub.'

I can see it now, feminists will create junk science suggesting 1 out of 3 women will be assaulted by condiments. Maybe it will be included in the re-authorization of the VAWA. I can see it now -- Heinz Ketchup and Gulden's Mustard will donate money towards domestic abuse prevention and put warning labels on their products. Domestic abuse shelters will ban mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, and mustard from their facilities out of fear the women will become traumatized.

I think this story is describing the police state more than it is describing feminism and the anti-male bias. The police in Britain have been amassing a DNA database now for years. Even if a person is simply stopped for a traffic violation the police can take their DNA and retain it indefinitely. The police in Britain can stop you and search you with no probable cause. If you think the Patriot Act is bad, check out the anti-terror legislation enacted in Britain. "Papers please!"

Because they can.

Lesson of the day folks, give the State to much power and it will abuse YOU.

Can some one please name one social problem a police/military State has ever solved in the entire history of humanity?

Anyone?

No?

That's what I thought.
