What Do You Think Of This Judge's Reaction?

[sp1814]

Thumbs up on the wonderfully long sentence, but...wow...the mouth on her!

All being a bit of a clot I see.

This video is from our cousins across the pond.

That guy in the Metro should just be put in prison and left there. He is just a brainless bully and a thug, he will never learn and will just continue to make the lives of others unbearable. I hope that he doesn't procreate - can you imagine mini thugs like him

[ummmm]

Pretty cool.

[douglas9401]

No need to explain beat combos to that one. :)

[-Talbot-]

Hennigan had told Tanisha Ford that he didn’t ‘agree with inter-racial relationships’.


He was jailed for that?

[Prudie]

I know some of the AB ladies use it but I find the C word spoken by a female utterly horrendous - in this case on the spur of the moment though good for her.

[jno]

he was in breach of an Asbo, Talbot

[jourdain2]

Agreed, Prudie. I've never used even the 'f' word. (Unless discussing its usage in literary texts and even then I'm not comfortable with it.) 'C' is beyond the pale.

[-Talbot-]

To be honest, jno

I don't want to even read the whole link.

[EDDIE51]

Under the circumstances I think the judges words were justified.
Sometimes you have have to be blunt and confrontational to get your point across. Can any of you suggest an alternate word that would have had the same impact?

[Prudie]

Well no, the impact was precisely because she replied with the same word he used.

[ToraToraTora]

She should have added some more to his sentence, he'll be popular with the Labour party anyway.

[TheChair]

"he'll be popular with the Labour party anyway."
What a totally moronic remark, though to be honest, it's the kind of remark I expect of you.

[mikey4444]

I have just listened to this on the Today Program.

The prisoner, John Hennigan, deserved a much higher sentence for his continual racism.

Good luck to the Judge for a rapid reply !

By the way, those that seek to support this twit should take the time to read the link and acquaint themselves with his long history of aggravated racism ::::

"He lives alone, and is single"....anyone remotely surprised by this ?

[naomi24]

I have my doubts that ‘using racist language’ should be considered a crime. Quite Orwellian! However, speaking in a language the accused understands is no bad thing. I’m all for clear communication.

Love wolf63’s video at 18:24 Wed. Very funny. :o)

[ludwig]

I like it. Well said the judge.

[anotheoldgit]

The judge is a professional and no matter what should never have lowered herself down to the level on this cretin.

But I wonder why he hasn't been excused as a person with mental problems, which seems to be the vogue these days?

[jambutty]

Good on ya Judge !

[ludwig]

// But I wonder why he hasn't been excused as a person with mental problems, which seems to be the vogue these days //

Apparently he did have a thorough psychiatric assessment, but the conclusion was that he's perfectly sane, - just a bit of a c***.
