Remember the teacher who shot at the thugs...?
Well it goes from truely bad to shockingly awful....
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/4442369.stm She has been refused bail and is now on hunger strike. Under the Bail act, bail is automatically allowed unless prosocution can make a case for the defendant to be a risk to society or risk of flight.... Looks like they made that case :mad: Unlike this case then... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4425365.stm |
There are to many idiots in the CPS:mad::mad:
It's no wonder that the numbers of police officers resigning are at an all time high, they have to work around this sort of bollox every day:( |
sick! :mad:
|
This world has gone mad :mad:

God this makes me so angry - she did nothing except fire a harmless airgun at these thugs - no doubt if she had actually used a knife and killed one of them she would now be on bail or have a suspended sentence. The legal system is upside down. Seems unbelievable that a family being terrorised are treated like this when desperation leads them to do something as the Police are unable to.

In the first place she did not fire the airgun at the yobs, she fired it straight down into the ground. She claimed it was not loaded as well!
It is so much easier to throw the book at a previously law abiding person and get a conviction to stick for some reason. It must be non PC to actually penalise a yob instead! I sometimes wonder how magistrates are selected, or are their hands tied by the politicians. There must be a positive reason for favouring yobs and violent thugs over people who live good lives and wish only to defend their own property and families. Les :( |

While it annoys me that kiddie fiddlers and such like get bail on a worryingly regular basis, I am not sure that bailing a teacher who looses the plot around kids to the point of shooting at them is a good idea either. |
They were hardly kids - they were 18 years old. That is an adult when I last checked. I have in my time been shot a number of times by an airgun - I used to have battles with my brother (dont ask) and except for a head shot hitting yr eye they are harmless.
Losing it one time is reason to assume she will commit the same offence or worse again is it ? Rubbish. |

Sixteen children (median age 10) were admitted after sustaining BB or pellet gun injuries. Three children had cranial penetration; one remains severely brain impaired ... there were 33 air gun deaths reported to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission during this period Losing it one time is reason to assume she will commit the same offence or worse again is it ?

Depends very much on the type of gun - your basic airgun in the Uk is barely able to break the skin at point blank range. I agree guns are available of a more powerful nature - and I agree it isnt to be condoned.
But if you dont think locking her up at all, let alone not give bail is a crazy decision then I give up. She was being terrorised by a group of 18 year old adults - not kids. We apparently are now allowed to even shoot an intruder with a shotgun if you feel yr saftey is threatened. I know this is different but their house and cars were being attacked and their lives were being made hell over homophobic abuse. So I think she was perfectly correct in behaving like she did. Only sad somebody hasnt given these thugs a slap. They must feel they are invincible now. |

If you got shot with my air rifle it would be a different story :norty: :norty:
