Atlas brings us this juicy story, wherein a local inhabitant was charged with "revving his car" in a racist manner. It's a good thing England has all of those liberals around to protect them from all of those racist cars, huh?

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

Beyond that... how can one be "degraded" by a revving engine?
