Battering a 72 yr old man with a hockey stick, fracturing his arm, had to be a custodial sentence imo.

I expected them to follow the lead of the thug Labour MP, whose assault was actually filmed. Not disappointed.

Unlucky that it wasn't the force that investigated (or rather didn't investigate properly) the Wimbledon crash otherwise he'd be out free!

Evan Almighty, needed Gods help to avoid a jail sentence, thuggish behaviour.
|
|
By:
My first reaction is three years is a tough sentence (be out in 18 mths) for someone who is very unlikely to be a risk to the public going forward.

Was it really much different to attacking someone who breaks into your home, you are defending yourself and your property?

Yes it is. |
|
By:
Being ON your property is totally different from being IN your property. And remember that guy who was imprisoned for shooting a burglar IN his property whjle he was fleeing. It's all about using proportional force. I suggest with the way the country is going, you all familiarise yourselves with the ground rules in the ever increasing likely event you may be in this situation.

He sayed he was threatened with a shotgun, unsure if this was reported at time to police?
Who takes a hockey stick to a gun fight? Am sure as a farmer he will have (had) a gun licence, shotgun at least and poss firearm cert. At end of day he battered an old man with a weapon , what I don't know is how easy was access obtained to the land in question from where the victim was residing.Or what signage was up about no dogs on horse grazing land ect ect. Unanimous verdict suggests there was little sympathy for his excuse of torch light spooking stabled horses, or previous threats against himself. He broke the law and arrogantly tried to justify it. The police were supposedly on scene but he didn't wait, tried to take the old guys dog too, not the torch. It is what it is, overstepped the mark, administered a punishment beating of an OAP for walking his dog, which was on lead. Plenty out of control mutts and owners but this doesn't seem to the case here. |

Just rewatched that airport fracas. Nice kick in the head @ 45s and surrendering face down @ 1m11s didn't save him from a kicking/beating.

Some facts about the case:-
- Victim walking his dog, from holiday residence, went into open-gated non-signed, paddock at night - Williams passed a police patrol on his way to sort it and did nothing with them, preferring to take the law into his own hands - Repeatedly hit pensioner with a hockey stick, causing GBH with intent, breaking his arm and other injuries (with threatening shouts and swearing) - Lied under oath, he didn't do it, and the pensioners dog caused the injuries 90 mins to find him guilty |

Oh, and the dog was a cockapoo - a small fluffy spaniel-type dog
|
|
By:
Poppydog, you need to learn more about cockapoos, as fluffy as they maybe they can easily be trained, Cockapoos’ genetics hark back to hunting and working dogs, and as such they can have quite a strong prey drive.

Wandering on to someone else's property for your dog to go to the toilet is not an accident.
Pensioners can be right c0cky areseholes and goad folk into a fight. Only their bodies often don't match the bravado. Nobody writing on here knows exactly what went down. I sense the 'pensioner' wasn't blameless. I sense Williams took it too far. |

Can take down a horse easily but struggle with the retrieve?

Cockatoos are more dangerous TT
