‘You’re a man of sixty-two and of good character,’ the judge said. ‘You have got to sixty-two without committing an offence.’




Give the vid 2 minutes of your time.
If I had clobbered a copper with a heavy weapon would I be still walking the streets...I doubt it!

dunno why anyone is surprised, like "travellers" muslims are another group that seem above the law.

[ToraToraTora]

gawd elp us brainfreeze has awoken!

[ToraToraTora]

so is brainrig a muslim or a traveller?

[Jackdaw33]

If he has a camel he could be both!

[murraymints]

I would have expected ANYBODY who had clobbered a cop would have been punished in some way

With ALL due respect, try sticking your heads down the toilet.



Why not try addressing the OP rather showing once again that because you portray yourself as a leftie you can get away with vitriol.

Do you think this racist thug is a man of good character?

There seems to be a considerable group missing from class this morning, has anyone checked to make sure they're okay?

Bainbrig, //With ALL due respect, try sticking your heads down the toilet. //

The constant objections to criticism of this culture evidence the increasing acceptance of moral bankruptcy within our own society. I wrote this elsewhere a few days ago. It applies here too.

//In their efforts to embrace tolerance – and moreover to be seen to embrace tolerance, the disingenuous liberals of the west are wilfully abandoning the fundamental concept of right and wrong. This civilised society that we claim to hold so dear is rapidly deteriorating into something far from civilised.//

[Gromit]

It does indeed sound lenient. I suspect there is more to the story than is reported in the Metro. The report in the Mail hints at that, but that too is scant on detail.

// City of London Magistrate Richard Blake... said I
have had the advantage of seeing what took place...
The question is whether you are acting in self-defence. //

It appears there was a melee, and he did use his stick (possibly in self defence). But landing on the officer was not deliberate (he was attacking The protestors). It seems the Magistrate had video so was more able to make a more informed judgement than us relying on a tabloid newpaper report.

Thanks for that Talbot, it confirms my post.

[-Talbot-]

No it doesn't.

[gulliver1]

01.52 spot on.

[Gromit]

It is clearly a deliberate act to hit someone.
He was going after the EDL protestors to the right in front of him. The police officer comes from the left, slightly behind him. The muslim turns and wields the stick in one move, connecting with the Officer. It is plain the PC was not the intended victim, the commentary of his mate “Omar, you’ve ***ed up this time” confims the mistake.

The Magistrate sees that.

[gulliver1]

Should the judge be jailed?

[Togo]

So it's alright to hit anybody else with a weapon? Thought that was violent intent, or attempted assault or...…..whatever plod wants to charge you with if you are not of the correct "persuasion".

[mushroom25]

//It is plain the PC was not the intended victim//

quick Q - is "mistaken identity" a valid defence?

[-Talbot-]

Gromit, you said.

It appears there was a melee, and he did use his stick (possibly in self defence)


No self defence at all. The fight was in front of him and nothing to do with him.
He cowardly hit the bloke from behind
He then deliberately whacked a copper with the weapon he carries (I've watched enough of his vids to know he doesn't need it, it is probably for a benefits claim)

The violent racist thug should be in jail.

[Jackdaw33]

No it isn't and never has been.
