Liverpool Ramming

[Highway Man]

Fair enough, suppose it will all come out in the end

As I said, he will not receive anywhere near the sentence he deserved. Wrecked peoples lives and gets a slapon the wrists.

 

[Highway Man]

I think it is looking more like he got himself into a stupid situation and panicked.

How many times have you rammed into a crowd of people in your car and panicked?

end up with community service and banned from driving for 5 years.

These charges might be difficult to prove. The prosecution have to show he actually intended to cause GBH. They might only be able to prove he was reckless.

I know, I am not having a go at you, its these sort of soft aproaches by the CPS that is at fault. I bet the police are not happy.

I have said as much all along only it ended him in fear of his own life. I think that will be the defence angle.

The other explanation in the media is that he was following the procession in his car. Obviously, he shouldn't have been doing that. He accidentally knocked someone over. The crowd turned on him and started attacking his car and trying to drag him out. And he was terrified and basically lost all sense.

 

[Odds]

He probably recalled what happened to those squaddies caught up in an IRA funeral back in '82 and panicked...i'm surpr[sed the wheels on his vehicle are still there.

 

[Highway Man]

I don't buy it. I think he deserves corporal punishment.

 

[Odds]

Corporal Clegg recommends Corporal Punishment.
Qu'elle surpris.

If I knocked someone over by accident I'm pretty sure I wouldn't knock over another 70

it was a targeted attack on the funeral by the army. Totally irelevant

Exactly. Only reason he stopped was 4 people under his car

What's wrong with corporal punishment in cases like this?

I remember you saying that early on.
