Indeed ummm.

Internecine warfare amongst "travellers" is rife. It's akin to tribal warfare. Their are feuds between families which stretch back for decades (usually started by the flimsiest episode of alleged "disrespect"). Episodes of extreme violence are commonplace and the police usually leave them to get on with it because they know there is no chance of anybody testifying against the perpetrators.

Collectively they can be lumped under the heading "not wanted on voyage". They have brought upon themselves the intense dislike that most law-abiding people have for them. Usually it is a small minority of bad apples that tarnish a barrel in this way. In the case of "travellers", finding a good apple is a rarity. They choose not only to behave outside the law but also outside the code of behaviour that most people accept. This episode demonstrates that perfectly.
criminal compensation board ought to purchase the house and resettle the poor chap and his wife somewhere nice in a bit of luxury... what a nightmare they have been through..
Kromovaracun It's not just insensitive - it's calculated. This is threatening behavior.

I agree, but usual behavior from the ( scumbag ) travelling community.
I'm just appalled -as woof hinted, you'd need 3x Hubble telescopes to find any vestige of good in the burglar. I really hope all floral tributes are kicked into the road. 'Scum' is the best word for him in this world.

I really hope he repented in his last moments. The fact that his child seems ignorant of the evil the father committed is awful. Even worse is that adults are acclaiming him. This must surely be a wake-up call. From what I've read he is from the clan of 'Travellers'. OK, they must be tackled. Perhaps by splitting up their enclaves? One school I taught in regularly had travellers children. Nice enough kids, but so far from being on the same wavelength as the others!
// The travelling community are/can be dangerous. //

jesus the AB view appears to be they are subhuman and not to be tolerated. sortta just above Muslim immigrants but only just and they have Shotguns! and orften use them to orf people !

will we be murdered in our beds again tonight ?

anyway the house is boarded and the Osborns are away.
One of these things which will all blow over isnt it?

as churchill said - jaw jaw is better than war-war
When you act in the way this piece of scum and his 'traveller family' acts then you pretty much appear sub human.

Where I think it true that everyone should have the right to live their life in a style they chose, it is also true that that life style should be within the bounds of the law.

To allow any one group to live outside the law leads to this debacle with the poor householder virtually hounded out of his home and community because some scum burglar and his 'demographic'.
This is cold and calculated from a community who are utter detritus.

New Judge mentioned Star Lane in St Mary Cray - I know the area well as a friend of mine has lived in St Paul's Cray his whole life. In fact, our first drink in a pub was in The Bull in St Mary Cray, a stone's throw from Star Lane.

To give you a measure of the type of scum we're dealing with, when we were about 14, so 30 odd years ago, my friend's dog went missing. At the time it was well known that the pikeys from the camp at Crittalls Corner (as the crow flies about 1 mile from Star Lane) were stealing dogs, so off we went one day to the *** camp, and I kid you not, they had sentries at the gate. we had no intention of going in, but thought we'd just have a nose from the fences. We could see my friend's dog - its tail was going nuts at the sight of my friend - and when we pointed this out to the sentry his obvious response was that it was theirs and they'd had it since a puppy. No chipping back then of course. The police weren't in the slightest bit interested, so that was it - dog lost never to be seen again by my friend.

They really are the lowest of the low - I'd love to know where the fluffy bunny wonder traverllers that get supported by some are - because I've never met one.
The word censord by Nanny rhymes with likey.
if it were my fence I'd be out there telling them to clear off..the police really need to put a stop to it before someone else is harmed..or worse...

Hardly fair is it? A law-abiding citizen is forced from his home because he tackled a piece-of-filth burglar so must now live elsewhere till it ‘blows over’?
These sorts of things don’t blow over where pi......sorry, itinerant folk are concerned. As NJ intimated, they hold grudges for eons.
Would "You" find this threatening? Same people perhaps?
Some reports say these thieving thugs "drove off in a Silver Mercedes, were white, stocky and in their mid-20s and spoke with Irish accents. Surely not.....they all have "hearts of gold" donncha know?.......All stolen from someone else no doubt.

As per Deskdiary's comments at 08:14, some 'travellers' who used to squat on land near me about 25 years ago, stole a neighbour's Yorkshire terrier. Said neighbour strode over to the site and could see his little dog tied up outside a caravan, he walked on to the site and untied his dog and brought him home. Luckily for him no-one questioned him, but he was shaking from head to foot when he got back!
A tribute for the scumbag dead burglar, hang the floral tributes upside down from the nearest Lamppost.
Interesting how the singular form of a word is starred out by the censor but the plural form gets through.
I don't understand why the police cannot object to the placing of flowers opp the house of the man who was being robbed, it is causing problems and is offensive , there must be some law they can use .
Bo, although it is obviously meant to be intimidating or threatening, plod cannot yet find a way of deeming it racist or a "hate crime". So their hands are tied. ..............By their own "diversity programme".
Can someone provide me with a "legal perspective" on one aspect please?

My understanding is that if I were to place anything on the fences owned by my neighbours, (e.g. tie a washing line to them), without their permission, I may be committing a "nuisance" - and that this is a criminal offence?

Assuming that fence/walls are not owned by those who placed the commemorative items described does their action fall within the same category?
