24 Hours In Police Custody

[paulchapo]

My philosophy is very simple. Don’t touch civilians. Those who are involved in criminality live and die by the sword and it’s the choice they made when choosing the life they lead…
The Police/emergency services have enough on their plates, so bad people who get done over by other bad people isn’t something where my sympathies lie.

The lowlife do though don't they? Like the so called football hooligans who target shirters the scumbags want an easy target. These fuckers are even trying to sue the bloke. Other criminals need to have a word but that honour is long gone.

Jack Slipper is that you?? I thought you'd died, you nearly got that dastardly Biggs deported back to blighty to face justice.

No Paul, just the practical side of me shining through.

Personally, I think they should be taken out into the field and dispatched. Then left to give the coyotes and turkey vultures something to feed on during the cold winter.

They are simply lowlife and an ongoing menace to society.



In my old homeland, the gypsy trash steal at will, anything they can get their grimy little hands on. They even wave at the security cameras while they are stealing, because they know nothing will happen to them. Even the police won't go into their permanent encampment.

A 'vigilante' response would be more than understandable, because the police make no effort to reprimand these people and hold them accountable for their actions.

What value are these people to society, do they have any?

He didn't really give a reason. He couldn't explain his actions in a rational way, and he did admit to that in a way, but the telling thing for me was him saying to the police at the scene just after the incident had occured he misjudged the speed he was travelling at and his brakes failed.

The police engaged the services of a forensic traffic cop who worked out he'd hit the bike with the front of his car. Tell tale signs from his number plate were found on the rear of the bike, his car had mounted the pavement puncturing two tyres which caused him to lose control and slam into the side of a van.

I know this probably isn't a popular opinion, but while he was obviously feeling threatened when he was in his house, the threat had disappeared once the burglars had left, and he wanted some sort of revenge. Why else would he chase after them in his car if that wasn't his motive, and the evidence from the scene confirmed that.

We are all entitled to protect ourselves and our families in the confines of our homes, but once the perceived or actual threat moves outside, that defence changes and normal rules apply.

I didn't have a problem with the guy who knocked the two guys off the bike receiving a prison sentence because the intention of his actions was to hurt them. We've all seen clips of pedestrians being mown down by an enraged car driver because of some disagreement in a night club or wherever, and this was no different. The red mist descended, and he was going to have them.

Great post and I agree with you.

There has to be consequences for scumbags.My mate is a copper and is suspended at the moment with his partner cant go in to much detail.They attended a shout where a man was weilding a knife and had stabbed someone they dealt with him.Suspended for using excessive force.In some countries the scumbag would have been shot.Years ago my father was robbed in the middle of the night had petrol poured over him and threatened for the safe combination he is fine and got over it the scumbags when caught got 7 years.The key should have been thrown away.There is no detterant as someone else said.Lock em up no tv,Playstations etc.Commit crime ie burgalry 5 yrs do it again double it etc.Bollocks to this criminals have rights.I work hard for the things i have so can they.I would move heaven and earth to protect my family.

People shoild not be given carte blanche in circumstances such as these. To suggest otherwise would mean it was ok to detain, imprison, rape, torture, murder and dismember a fifteen year old that was attempting to steal (not even rob or burgle) your property. Unless anyone agrees that is acceptable, then they must agree with that principle.

Once that is established, then what is left to determine is where that line is. A jury of twelve ordinary people, bringing their experience of life to bear felt he crossed it. Based on what I have read, I agree with them. He was no longer defending his home, was using his vehicle as a weapon in anger, caused serious injury, and his actions could have recklessly caused the deaths of innocent bystanders. Of course that should be punished.

Is anyone seriously suggesting it shouldn’t?

If people are freely allowed to take the law into their own hands it’s the start of a very slippery slope as a society and one where habitual criminality will increase, not decrease.

I have sympathy, but can understand why he was convicted, what I struggle to understand is how two career criminals failed to be incarcerated.

The Crime Sentences Act sets a minimum tariff of 3yrs for the 3rd offence of domestic burglary, why was this not applied ?

The application of the law seems to be unbalanced, two crimes were committed, one by a previously upstanding individual who seems to have been heavily punished and another by two career criminals that seem to have walked away with a slap on the wrist.

There is a serious issue with the criminal justice system and personally I feel that the general public have little confidence in it. If people don’t have confidence that justice will be seen to be done, then it is bound to force more normal people into these vigilante type actions.

I hope your wife isn't reading the above text, knowing she is wed to a wanker who would NOT defend his family.

I'm not married. He wasn't defending his family, miles away from his house.

No sympathy for the owners of the other car and flatbed truck?

I'm not married.

Quelle surprise :O

Two petty thieves who saw the motorbike he was advertising as an opportunistic prize.

They never crossed the threshold, he spotted them on a security camera shouted them off from inside the house (without opening door). And then gave chase in his car. Crashed into them and another car was hit by the motorbike and the 4x4 went under a flatbed truck.

He also made up a silly bollocks story and insulted the blokes in front of the cops wearing body cams. Comes across as narcissistic and potentially even psychopathic.

Not seen the program and probably won't watch it but assuming your middle paragraph is correct then he's been a proper wanker.

He'd likely be pissed off with them outside but there wasn't I'd assume records of him constantly ringing the cops as his property was under attack etc.

All that being said the scummy fuckers should be locked up too.

Yes, I'm not currently in need of an unpaid carer.
