American Stereotype™ walks Google's mean Street View

Gun? Check. Liquor? Check

We're fully aware that some of our UK readers have pretty well decided
that the average American wears a baseball cap, Harley-Davidson
sweatshirt, jeans and cowboy boots and walks the mean streets of the Land
of the Free with a hunting rifle while swigging from a bottle of hard
liquor.

Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth, as this snap from
Google's Street View shows: see link above for image

Splendid. Doubtless our US friend is on his way to a fellow NRA member's
trailer park home to watch the baseball while washing down pork rinds
with a coupla six-packs, as is the local custom.

Good point.

I'd agree; right at the top of your collective heads.

There was a time, in this country, when people weren't
as paranoid. Although the British have a right to be
paranoid, it should be about people slashing others
for no apparant reason, their national passtime it
seems. For them to mention this is a perfect "pot
calling kettle.....etc".

Because someone has a weapon in their poccession
is not, per se, a crime in this country and you're an
idiot for bringing this up. Have you nothing better to
do?
