The video shown to the jury was cut at the point the propeller hit Mr Morse, then cut again to see him lying on the ground.There’s no indication whether those cold, inhuman and mocking words were spoken by the pilot or his (unnamed) passenger.
A voice can then be heard to say: 'Oh dear, the t*** didn't stand clear of it.'
If the former, it rather gives the lie to his claim not to be an anti-hunt activist. If the latter, then assuming that the passenger is indeed one of those anti-hunt activists, it shows that they are not, and never were, animal lovers.
They are people haters.
Trying to stop a helicopter from taking off by sticking your head in the tail rotor appears to me to be a rather stupid thing to do, regardless of the depravity of the pilot.
ReplyDeleteNot Guilty.
Pedantic I know, but the story twice refers to the propeller spinning at 200mph. Um ... No. Objects spin is measured in revs per minutes or something similar. Miles per hour is a measurement of travel speed. Measured in miles per hour, every part of a propeller blade is travelling at a different speed - the tip at the highest speed, the centre of the hub at zero. Perhaps the tips of the propeller blades were travelling at 200mph, but I'd be surprised if anyone had done the necessary calculations to make that claim. And in any case, so what? I do get so irritated by MSM reporters.

ReplyDeleteI guess he never thought the pilot would be so uncaring of human life. Fatal mistake.
"Pedantic I know, but the story twice refers to the propeller spinning at 200mph."
The news needs to be dumbed down for the masses.
I'm afraid the person most responsible for Mr Morse's death was Mr Morse himself.
ReplyDeleteHe put himself, his girlfriend and, indeed, the pilot and passenger in an inherently dangerous situation - and that's not even to mention the illegality of what he was attempting to do.
An independent witness has told of the 'threatening' manner of Mr Morse, so it is understandable that Mr Griffiths wanted to, quite legally, remove himself from the situation.
It can only be not guilty.
Anyone dying is a tragedy, but through Mr Morses own stubbornness and the illegality of stopping someone going about their business he sadly died and the Pro-Hunt people now have a martyr. This illegal 'sport' should be properly police and not left to the general public.
