Labour thug jailed.

[blup]

Maybe he should write to Trump and ask for a pardon.

The offence isn’t serious enough

 

[blup]

The sentence seems broadly appropriate given the sustained attack, reference to his position of power, the fact he knocked him to the ground and kept going. As the Judge said.. sometimes such attacks are fatal.

Appropriate for the offence but he should have been charged with a more serious crime. 10 weeks is too low a sentence given given the aggravating factors.

There is a line where self defence and protection of your property becomes violence

Nobody is suggesting it’s self defence. I’ve quoted the relevant law.

Yep, this...

And then race down a public street with said very heavy object threatening further violence?

Not a lawful excuse, no.

Irrelevant and doesn't apply to what ellal wrote. Reasonable force - not.

That is reasonable force, that is already established

And chasing down the street with a weapon?

Is that reasonable force?

 

[Highway Man]

And chasing down the street with a weapon?

Is that reasonable force?

It could well be, yes

 

[motorbiking]

How was he to apprehend the suspect? Ask them to stop politely?

And chasing down the street with a weapon?

Is that reasonable force?

No. Nor is it a lawful excuse.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

It could well be, yes

I wouldn't want to test it in court.

It's gone past reasonable force

 

[noseall]

It could well be, yes

Not in the UK.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

How was he to apprehend the suspect? Ask them to stop politely?

Was his intention to stop the person ?

From what I've read he wanted to chase him away

I can understand using something handy to stop him. But once he's made his escape, presumably without any goods, whats the weapon for ?

The law is very clear on this and dependant upon circumstance
