There is no justice in this country

[fatboy]

About a year ago a boy from by college gets severely assaulted.

Over a petty argument about a girl this guy gets taken in a car by two guys to a secluded field where they strip him naked and beat the shit out of him, breaking his jaw amongst other things.

The two guys get two years each in some young offenders holiday camp.

Today I see one of them on the night bus bragging about how he has been to prison for beating someone up.

He did nine months, after getting some time off for being good and being able to tie his own shoe laces.

f***ing wanker, worse than Dwayne.

Think about the poor bloke who is too afraid to go out now and get the night bus home.

****s.

 

[Easy 10]

f***ing shite innit.
Its just the mentality of some people. There's something severely wrong in their psyche that makes them do stuff like that and brag about it. I can't get my head around it, but some people just get off on aggression and violence.

I was threatened on my own driveway in the summer, by a mentalist with numchukkas. I was minding my own business washing my car, when this bloke pulls up next to my car in the shared driveway, and goes into next doors house. While I'm hosing down my car, some water splashed onto his windscreen (I hadn't even noticed). He comes out, points at the water droplets on his windscreen and goes "oh nice one, you f***ing twat".
I said "Take it easy mate, its only water - christ, what if it had rained last night ?" (in hindsight, this was an unwise comment).

So he goes to the boot of his car, pulls out a set off numchukkas, and starts swinging them inches from my face. I just stand there motionless while he does this, saying stuff like "think you're clever do ya ? I'll f***ing kill ya" etc etc. Eventually, he stops, gets in his car and drives off. Sad thing was, he had 2 kids in the back of his car during all this, they couldn't have been much older than 5 or 6. What chance have they got with a "dad" like that ?

Looking back, I could easily have ended up in casualty with a fractured skull or something from that incident, but curiously, at the time I was more worried about him twatting the side of my car or putting in a window with those sticks. Not seen him since, but I gather he's next doors ex, and used to knock her about.

What a wanker, eh ?

There is only one thing for people like that

and Artois has made it readily available....

The rugby captain back at uni bottled a bloke in the face in a nightclub, leaving him with a permanent scar down the side of his face. He got... 100 hours community service. Disgraceful in my opinion

agree with you there easy 10. anyone metally balanced would take up a sport like boxing or learn a martial art, learn a bit of respect and how to defend yourself. but people who just get off on causing physical harm to other people for no other reason than the buzz? bit wrong in the head really

100 hours community service for bottling someone? you're not the only one who thinks its disgraceful st. in a way, the poor bastard is lucky, could have been blinded. once again, anyone who can shove a glass/bottle in another persons face? bit sick really

There's a case for taking the law into your own hands at times. Over where Mrs BHA lives the law is even more slack. We have a number of (purely defensive) weapons to deal with members of her ex-husbands' families.

Thing is, if they come on your property then it's open season (as one person found out, he got a bit of a shock, quite literally. He was still quivering when the Police turned up to arrest him.

However, the law is an ass so often.

What-he'll give them a hand job? That'd be enough to put me off

But you're right though. Aggression does seem to be the default response in a lot of people's heads. It scares the hell out of me. You can (as I do) feel morally superior that you won't behave like that but it's little use when there's a lunatic with nunchukkas in your driveway.

 

[bhaexpress]

Hence the situation I find myself in in the US. I wouldn't mind but most of the people I mentioned have guns quite legally., Tragically, so does Mrs BHA now.

Can see this country going the same way.

 

[Dropkick Turnip]

Can see this country going the same way.

Except that firearms are pretty much illegal here. No, it doesn't stop criminals from carrying guns but it means that ordinary citizens don't keep one by the bed.

 

[bhaexpress]

Well, ther are other items that are freely available in some US states (and in some European Counties) that are also illegal here but they may start turning up here.

It's ridiculous, I have something that if I used it on an attacker I would be the person to be prosecuted.

 

[Yorkie]

The law in this country values property far higher than humans.

Someone who steals cars or is a burglar is likely to get a higher prison sentence than someone who commits grievous bodily harm or murders someone.

 

[bhaexpress]

So true. Theoretically you could sue your attacker for damages with a civil suit but in reality more often than not your attacker will be potless and pays your compensation at £2.50 a month.

Several years ago I was the victim of a totally unprovoked attack in a pub. I wasn't seriously hurt and the cretin that attcked me didn't even leave the pub. Somebody called the Poliice who duly turned up and arrested the scum, He denied assaulting me even though there was no shortage of witnesses and his clothes had my blood all over him.

Suffice to say he eventually pleaded guilty and I got £450 in damages. Took me 18 months to get that.

I think its the random inconsistant way that justice is handed out sometimes that is the big problem.

Last year we went to stay with one of my best friends who lives in Grantham. We went out for a meal and few beers with him and his new girlfriend.

When we were waiting for a taxi, his ex with new boyfriend in tow and a shit load of pikey mates started giving it verbals which led to the usual pushing and shoving and a bottle was thrown which hit him on the head, then another girl spat in his face he reacted by pushing her (a natural reaction whether it is male of female who spits at you) she then fell to the ground (not in any way injured), plod got involved straight away, he is carted off for a night in Lincoln Jail (where some real hard bastards live) because Grantham nick is full, and is charged with ABH and assult, after a 30 mile ride on the floor of a cop van handcuffed.

Case comes to court and girl says that she has not worked since the incident, denies spitting on his face, which was a lie and they take her word over mine, Mrs R's and another witness in the taxi rank.

He gets a 28 day suspended sentance and a criminal record that means he is unlikely ever be promoted at work (he is a PE teacher and was lucky to keep his job) and his life has been turned upside down.

Pisses me off that this is a guy who has never ever been in trouble before and yet he is treated as the aggresor in a case that should never have even come to court, to top it all he is now being hounded by the girls solicitor for loss of earnings, a joke really as she didnt have a job in the first place !!

This country is a f***ing joke sometimes, rant over

 

[bhaexpress]

Trust me, the Police don't tend to let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Talking about rough justice, did anyone read about the prison officer in the UK who lost his job because he made a derogatory remark about Bin Laden. It seems that the prison authorities were worried that he might have offended 3 visiting moslems. The fact that Bin Laden has admitted to being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people on 9/11 and probably just as many more world wide seems to be of no consequence.

Sometimes the British outlook and its overly PC nature really pisses me off. Can anyone tell me why, for example, the Bin Laden sympathiser - the guy with the hook for an arm - is allowed to remain in this country when he is openly inciting Bin Laden supporters to mount attacks against Western interests. I know he is a Britsih citizen but even so. Would any other country be so stupid as us?

Justice/political rant over. Sorry to be a bore folks. Just makes me angry.

 

[CHAPPERS]

He'll get his don't you worry about that.

I got done over a few years ago but a couple of kids on the seafront, was chatting to the rozzers at the hospital who said 9 times out of ten those who dish out beatings get it back ten times worse at some point.

 

[bhaexpress]

Mine did actually, about two years later he was GBH'ed. I got interviewed by the Police but never heard anymore.

About 5 years back I was glassed in a late night pub in an unprovoked attack (no argument or anything, bloke admitted he had never even met me before!). I was simply buying a drink from the bar, turned around and my heard a loud bang, then just above my eye there was a shooting pain , shortly followed by my nose (almost literally) exploding. I was only a couple of mm away from losing my right eye.

To cut a long story to size, bloke admitted it, could give no reason for doing it and got 9 months in a young offenders institution. He only served 4 months. I still have no feeling above my right eye, a small scar and a permanently broken nose (which bizarrley only becomes obvious in photos!).

This incident still affects my behavior around people in pubs and clubs etc, and the purveyors of such behavoir just don't give a shit about the consequences. The law is an ass!
