He's a purebred posterboy for what makes freedom great. Would any citizen of a "closed" nation think to assist a policeman out of a sense of "civic duty"? Not likely. I've not drunk a pint in over 25 years, but to honor Smeato tempts me. Cheers, mate. John Smeaton shouldn’t have to buy another ANYTHING in his life.
