Justice for Stephen Armstrong

BULLITT

What is the world coming to....

I say he did exactly the right thing and I would have done the same in a heartbeat.

The fact that he is in prison for protecting his family is an utter and total joke.

He should be knighted not penalised!

Just sums up this PC fooked up country that we inhabit nowadays.

"Stephen, understandably shaking with fear lost control of the vehicle and knocked his attacker down."

That was lucky

Tiggs

no.

For a man with 6 kids he should have thought a little harder before attempting to kill someone. Dads a hero....but he's locked up, smart move.

Stupid judges as usual.

NotoriousREV

Strange how in court he admitted it was rage that made him do it, not fear.

It's still no right that he got banged up, though. Presumably the drug addled nutjob is now having a carribean cruise at the taxpayers expense as compensation.

Odds on

Unbelievable.

Signed.

Only if the judge was a retard and used that site as a basis for sentencing.

He was only protecting his kids?

I would never have gotten out of the car to start with.. he should have just tried to drive away immediately...

It does seem a long sentence though - especially as the other guy kicked it off... does anyone know what happened to him?

fast bloke

He should get double Tesco points for being a right thinking person, but you should always think of the consequences. A right thinking person with a bit of nous would have buggered off with the family, then nipped round a few hours later with a baseball bat and a pair of gloves

I don't think he should have been locked up in one respect, however, from what I did read (it could be wrong), he mounted the pavement to knock down this yob. I genuinely feel for people terrorised by others (I've kind of been there, not to this extent), but it's one thing to act in fear, trying to get away from some nutter for example, and another to deliberately mow someone down, by going after them.

It's a sorry world we live in, and a sad day when a probably decent person has been driven to this (no pun intended).

Gets my sigmature, you have to stand up for your family regardless

little-ginge

Agree wholeheartedly about standing up for your family, but shouldn't your main priority be getting them the foof out of there?

What if the druggie has managed to harm the father like knock him out cold, or at worse, kill him?? it would have left his children in the car open to physical danger themselves...

Yeah he should of just stood there and took it. If anyone attacked me with my son in the car I would use it to kill them in a heartbeat. I would rather spend a 1000 years in jail knowing my son was okay, than a free man who had let any harm come to my son.

I totally agree, but from what I've read of the story, he was alone in his van when it was attacked, and then proceeded to go after said scumbag. To be fair, he would have been overcome by rage, and acted in rage, possibly more than fear, especially considering the issues that had gone before.

I can't say how he acted, if this was the case, was particularly sensible, but I can certainly understand it.

If the police had dealt with the unsocial behaviour of this lot in the first place, as they should have done, this would most likely not have even happened.

Oxford judge tells a kiddy fiddler to buy his child victim a new bike and then lets him off with suspended sentence!!!

Tiggs

Typical media sheep.

The bloke did not act to protect his family. He drove after the person , mounted the pavement and drove into a bush that the bloke was hiding in.

It was not self defence, it was retaliation.

This sort of twaddle:

"I would rather spend a 1000 years in jail knowing my son was okay, than a free man who had let any harm come to my son. "

Get a grip - that's nothing to do with this case.

Even if he did go at the drugged up chav three years is too long a sentence by comparison with what thugs get for manslaughter etc.

vindaloo

Problem is really that he doesn't know the system. He probably didn't try to weasel his way out of it like the real oiks, scum and drugged up dregs of society would.

If this is the case I think it is, then that petition seems to have omitted a rather important point or two: after being threatened, Mr Armstrong got away. SOME TIME LATER he saw his threatener whilst driving his van. He swerved OFF THE ROAD and onto the pavement in order to run him over. Which is why the courts refused to consider it self defence.

Still support him?

Tiggs

You're wasting your time. Once the sheep have been fed their bellies are full, you can try and feed them something better for them but its too late.

topbuzz

I still support him. This just lets the thugs and scum know their actions will have consequences and not always when their expecting it.

The **** who got ran over got EXACTLY what was coming to him. It's a shame he didn't reverse back over him again. I couldn't have cared less if he'd have done it six months later.

He threated him with a knife and a baton. He got ran over for it. Natural justice.

F*cking outrageous. Judge should be shot for sending this man to jail. So should Tiggs.

Unfortunately this is what PC Britain is coming to. Criminals having more rights than their victims.

If it was me? after I'd run him over, I'd have got out and smashed his arms & legs with the metal bar he wanted to kill me with.

That other PC Numpty PeterBrant will be along soon to say the judge was right too.
