Mugger Arrested After Victim Spots Him On Facebook's 'People You May Know' (bgr.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from BGR: In a somewhat bizarre story which proves that truth is often stranger than fiction, a serial mugger in England was arrested after one of his victims spotted him under Facebook's 'People you may know' section.Originally reported by the BBC, 21-year old Omar Famuyide had a long history of theft, muggings and armed robberies to his name. Not too long ago, Famuyide brandished a knife and stole a car.
Flash forward a bit, and the victim of said car robbery was recently shocked to see Famuyide's face pop up as a suggested friend he might want to add on Facebook. The victim promptly called the police who quickly managed to tie him to a large number of other violent crimes. By the time the dust settled and the full extent of Famuyide's criminal rampage was revealed, Famuyide was sentenced to 17 years in prison.
His Facebook profile ultimately led to charges of robbery, attempted robbery, and possessing a firearm.

With a conspicuously non-traditional British name. Yeah, open our borders... It's all good, they only want what's ours.
Whether a liberal or not, remains to be seen.
You are not a freeman and you don't believe in equality.
You lack the ability and logic to recognize that guns make everyone equal.
The small nurse leaving late is equal to any potential rappist when armed.
A senior citizen homosexual couple outnumbered 3 to 1 by aggressive anti-gay Muslims, gain advantage if they produce a pair of reliable revolvers when assualted.
This isn't to say the nurse will avoid injuries.
This isn't to say the shot aggressors won't be added to list of "gun victims".
This isn't to say victims will win or survive.
It merely points out that if you believe in individual freedom, then you must accept uninfringed gun ownership. And if you don't support either one of the above, you cannot logically support the other.
So the result is that all statist are anti-gun, because all statist are anti individual. Given liberals are statist, they are all anti-gun (or illogical, sorry been watching a bunch of Star Trek as of late).
This isn't to suggest their aren't people like you, who are simply scared of things they don't understand, or cowardly people who resent strong individuals who do stand up to be bullies, or bullies themselves, or criminals hoping for easier prey, or tyrants desiring more slaves, or just slow thinkers, just dense programmed products of public education, or just lemmings, or whatever.
But freedom respecting people will always support gun rights.
