Church elder suspended from parish for transporting rams on a Sunday

From Scotland:

Calum Macleod was rapped by fellow members of the Free Church of Scotland (Continuing) (FCC), who oppose Sabbath ferry sailings.
The ram breeder made the Sunday trip back to Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, after missing his Saturday boat home from a market in Ullapool.
The ram breeder reported himself to kirk bosses on his return.
The hardline FCC is among the few churches which claim using Sunday transport to the islands cannot ever be justified. When Sunday ferries to Stornoway began in July 2009, and Sunday flights back in July 2002, it was mainly the FCC which turned out to protest with banners and to sing psalms.
Stornoway FCC minister Rev Graeme Craig, who is also interim moderator for the Knock and Point congregation, confirmed: "After considering the matter carefully and sympathetically, Mr Macleod was suspended from office and membership for one month.

Gotta' draw the line somewhere.

Police thank Batman, Robin, David Hasselhoff, and a giant Smurf for their help nabbing suspect. Really.

From Scotland's East Lothian Police Twitter account:

No you didn't mis-read it:

"Thank you to Batman, Robin, Robin's Dad, a Smurf, and the Hoff for helping us on Friday night. #Tesco, sorry about the toilet roll aisle."

Then yesterday they clarified things – a little:

"Robin assaulted, police called, collective assisted our foot chase, minor upset to shelving in tescos during arrest, you couldn't script it!"

Turns out a man dressed as the Boy Wonder was assaulted on a street in the town of Musselburgh last Friday night. He called the cops and along with his father and a group of friends, who all were also in costume, chased his assailant, who ran into a Tesco market. There the masked crusaders and the men and women in blue cornered the attacker in the toilet paper aisle, where after a brief skirmish he was arrested...and all the disturbed products promptly re-shelved.

A police spokesperson told the BBC:

"A 21-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an assault in Eskview Road, Musselburgh, on Friday 1 November. He was remanded in custody until Monday 4th November, where he appeared in court and pled guilty to the offense."

Wiz! Bam! Pow!
