Dutch 501st Have Weapons Confiscated

Posted By Mike on September 9, 2009

Regular book news source Eddie of SWTimeline.com has some news of a different nature regarding the 501st in the Netherlands...

"Past Sunday, during the Kidsday event for sick children in the town of Erp, members of the Dutch Garrison of the 501st where taken apart by undercover cops and interrogated: their toy weapons (8 of them) were confiscated, and the Justice Department is considering to take legal action against the troopers... I have absolutely no words for this..."

Click here for the source article, which is in Dutch. Thanks to Eddie for breaking it down for us and keep your fingers crossed that members of the Dutch 501st Garrison don't face any legal consequences for entertaining sick kids.
