UK Judge shows off knife in court, causes stir

From the UK, a judge does a politically incorrect thing, and generates much wringing of hands and scoldings:

A JUDGE trying a knife-crime case stunned the court by pulling out a blade.

Campaign groups blasted Judge Roger Connor after he brandished a knife in front of a teenage defendant charged with wounding.
...
Judge Connor got out the folding black-handled knife at Oxford Crown Court to show how it worked. The boy, who denies wounding with intent and assault, had admitted using a knife and claimed he needed only one hand to open it.
...
Furious antiknife crime campaigners called last night for the judge to be sacked.
...
“Enough is enough – we need to get tough on knives in this country and our judges should be handing out tough sentences, not brandishing their own.”
