Annanova: Police hunt poo protesters

[BlueEyedSon]

Police in Germany are hunting pranksters who have been sticking miniature US flags into piles of dog poo in public parks.

Josef Oettl, parks administrator for Bayreuth, said: "This has been going on for about a year now, and there must be 2,000 to 3,000 piles of excrement that have been claimed during that time."

The series of incidents was originally thought to be some sort of protest against the US-led invasion of Iraq.

And then when it continued it was thought to be a protest against President George W. Bush's campaign for

re-election.

But it is still going on and the police say they are completely baffled as to who is to blame.

"We have sent out extra patrols to try to catch whoever is doing this in the act," said police spokesman Reiner Kuechler.

"But frankly, we don't know what we would do if we caught them red handed."

Legal experts say there is no law against using faeces as a flag stand and the federal constitution is vague on the issue.

1. So why are they looking for them then?

If there's no law against it? Or is this the natural reflex of authority: catch whoever is doing it and then work out what to charge them for afterwards?

Shit, just ship them to Guantanamo. Who needs to charge them with anything?

2. Great idea..

Let's start doing it here too. That bush flag in a pile of shit says so much.

3. If there's a pooper scooper law, go arrest the dogs and lock them up.

Any human putting a flag in the poo is guilty of NOTHING. Paper and toothpicks are just as biodegradeable as dog poo.

6. On the positive side, it makes it obvious where not to step n/t

10. ya think?

"there is no law against using faeces as a flag stand and the federal constitution is vague on the issue."


Well, personally, I would hope that flags in feces would not be mentioned in the federal constitution!
