Inmates In Control of the Asylum Story

Teen-repellent shop siren silenced by human rights fears

A high-tech alarm audible only to youngsters which has dramatically cut loutish behaviour outside a British shop must be switched off over fears it infringes human rights, police said.

The Mosquito emits an irritating high-pitched pulse that most people aged under 20 can hear but almost nobody over 30 can.

The Spar grocery shop on Caerlon Road in Newport, South Wales said anti-social behaviour had plunged by 84 percent outside the premises since it was installed earlier this year.

However, human rights concerns have swatted The Mosquito -- and stung the shop's furious managers in the process.

"It's absolutely disgusting," a spokesman for the shop said.

"These louts can infringe on our rights to run a profitable shop for the community yet we can't dare infringe on their right to loiter and make life a misery for our shoppers," the BBC quoted him as saying.

Once more we see the wonders of living in a society in which the Left is allowed to run rampant. Anywhere Liberals are allowed to rule, freedom is gradually constricted. The rights of those who contribute to the growth and prosperity of the country are secondary to the imagined rights of loiterers and trouble makers. In Leftist-land whiners, in the guise as "human rights" advocates, will always advocate against the capitalists. Remember they are socialists.
