I read with disbelief that this poor bloke - Serge Zaporoshenko - faces court over having a rocket launcher mounted on his garage wall.

According to poor Serge, he found it whilst camping with friends back in 1995, and decided (maybe foolishly) to keep it. Apparently, according to his lawyer, Heath Barklay, the launcher is incapable of being operated. I'm sure this should play a big part in Serges defence. It's not like he can nip down to the local ammo store and buy a few rockets.
Whilst one may question why a young man would want a rocket launcher on his wall, the fact that it is inoperable is important. Serge is not a terrorist, nor activist and in reality shouldn't be in court. The weapon should have been simply taken from him and the matter resolved. BUT... no.. according to the powers to be, he must be charged and pay the price. It's rubbish like this that wastes court time and at the end of the day, does absolutely no good to anyone to prosecute and punish. The police, courts and prosecution should be kicked up the bums for wasting our good money on frivolous time wasting cases.
Good luck Serge.
Get Real
