Brit Arrested For Revving Car's Engine In A "Racist Manner"

Vrrrrrr-maccaca... vrrrrr-macaca... vrrrrr-bush babies...

Huh? What group could possibly be so thin-skinned and absurdly conspiratorial to claim that an engine could rev in a racist manner?

Any guesses?

Witnesses claimed he had been trying to intimidate a Libyan couple on the pavement. Ronnie, of Stirling, claims he was only revving the powerful V8 engine to avoid another £15,000 repair bill.

But off-duty Chief Inspector Eoin Jenkins thought he was targeting Muslim Isam Maigel and his wife Hana Saad.

On Thursday, at Stirling Sheriff court, the Crown ditched the racist part of the charge but Sheriff Andrew Cubie convicted Ronnie of breach of the peace and fined him £150.

Last night, he said: "To be convicted for revving my car in a busy street is hard to take. Does this mean anyone driving a noisy car in Scotland is now a criminal?"

[...]

In court, Mr Maigel, 28, then a student at Stirling Uni, said: "The driver came alongside and was trying to annoy us by revving his engine very, very loudly."

Using an interpreter, Hana Saad, 23, said he had degraded them "maybe because we are Muslim".

This just in: Gray's Anatomy "BlackDreamy" star Isiah Washinton has a 2005 Hummer whose windshield-wipers deliberately say swish, swish whenever one of "those people" drive up beside him in one of their Miatas.
