How awful, can't quite believe things like this happen. Feel quite descusted with such a thing. Poor woman! And the thing is, that idiot probably doen't even care!

[Reverandfunk]

Disgusting.

Be interesting to see the sentence he gets.

[Ethel]

At least his solicitor didn't oppose it going to Crown Court for a heavier sentence.

How her family must be feeling I can't imagine.

Hope his family are hanging their heads in shame.

[happyjo]

How disgusting....

Sometimes I feel ashamed of being a human!!!!

I hope he rots in jail and gets seen to by his fellow inmates!!!

This has really upset me Ethel. I just can't stop thinking about it. I don't agree that this is what we have come to and hope that this is isolated behaviour, but it is beyond my comprehension how anybody has acted like this. They deserve to be shut away for a very long time.

this is what youtube, jackass and their ilk feed upon, and the impressionable seek to emulate. But now that someone's done this, it will seen as be boring. Each stunt needs to out-do the previous to maintain the viewer's interest.

This is what led to pet cats being hurled off balconies in Birmingham.

The end-game will, I believe, be a televised murder.

Looks like they were stuck with what to charge him with.

CPS guidelines recommend prosecuters to try to find something other than this to use

Normally it's brought aginst people having sex in public.

The magistrates transferred the case to crown court for sentencing because they thought their maximum sentence of 6 months was insufficient it will be interesting to see if Crown Court agrees with them.

It doesn't say if Anthony Anderson was a Moslem or not - I guess not as I'm sure it would have been noted if he were

[Reverandfunk]

More evidence of the underclass.

[nedflanders]

whilst i agree that this man is Scum and deserves a serious jail sentence, you cannot blame youtube! This would have been removed from the site instantly!

thats just sick how can any1 be so heartlee

[garner]

It beggers belief it really does.That poor woman and her family how distressing for them,nothing is sacred anymore no thought or feeling.

[libertie]

Yes very distressing for her family, but hopefully they will realise that the vast majority of people in this country are decent and will be appalled at this crime...while he is, quite frankly a mindless moron!

[Loosehead]

It said he had been on the dope. Now is it me or are more and more violent crimes etc being committed under the influence? Is it time to review the "Fluffy bunny" billing for cannibis that the dope heads cling to to justify why it's the harmless wonder drug? Just a thought.

[Ethel]

The comments have been heartening. Living alone it is good to be able to 'discuss' these things online.

[libertie]

Yes Ethel, sometimes when we are going through a spell of particularly bad news it's easy to forget that the vast majority of us are decent law abiding folk!:0)

[Neilzulu1]

Sadly modern Britain is a disgrace. I do not know the answer but fear what type of world my children will grow up in :-(

[Marvelman]

Ethel, when you think that you have seen it all ,along comes something that you thought could never happen in our country, it is beyond belief, he should never be allowed to walk the streets again. i hope he gets a long jail term, and rots in hell.
