..and get a ‘Get out of jail free!’ card:
An off-duty policeman was threatened with a razor when he stepped in to help two sisters during an attack.
Just another story of the Feral Underclass….
Powell punched Brooke Georgiou after she ended their six-week relationship and beat her sister, Kylie George, at their home in York Road, Hove.
He threatened self-harm if his ex-girlfriend did not agree to stay with him and cut himself in front of her.
Brighton Magistrates’ Court was told on Monday that Metropolitan Police officer DC Hall heard the screams of the “extremely terrified” women and found Powell in an upstairs bedroom on August 21.
Powell, 40, swore and taunted the officer before trying to attack him.
And since he was off-duty and not wearing all the kit and body armour he’s used to on the street, there ended his rescue attempt, understandably.
Powell chased the officer outside before running off.
He didn’t get far, of course.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of assault by beating on the sisters and one count of common assault.
Paul Kent, defending, said Powell was sorry for the incident.
Was he? I can’t see why he even feels the need to pretend, since the punishment is so paltry:
Powell, of North Road, Brighton, was given a 16-week suspended sentence and was ordered not to enter York Road for two years.
He was also ordered to pay £50 in compensation to DC Hall.
*sigh*
"Powell was sorry for the incident"
ReplyDeleteSorry is the word that falls most freely from people's lips. It used to mean a degree of sorrow, but now it's just something to say. The Ferals use it because it's expected and while they don't expect any punishment for their crimes, it seems to make things even easier.
When I was young there was a saying: "Don't say sorry, just don't do it again."
Well, the word will be used again when whatever action is, inevitably, done again and again...
In credit to the off duty copper at least he did something rather than ignoring the situation.
ReplyDeleteAs the attacker, what a pathetic excuse for a man! Not just the hitting women but the emo-I'm-cutting-myself business. Dear God...
I was taught this maxim as a child, and it still rings true today:
ReplyDeleteSorry is something you do, not something you say.
The chav-scum behaviour outside the Court is evidence enough that he is most distinctly not sorry.
"It used to mean a degree of sorrow, but now it's just something to say."
ReplyDeleteProbably at the urging of the state-paid defence solicitor...
"As the attacker, what a pathetic excuse for a man! Not just the hitting women but the emo-I'm-cutting-myself business. "
We no longer have a clear separation between adulthood and childhood; they now seem to blend into one, with occasional reversion to teenage angst no matter how old you are in years.
"The chav-scum behaviour outside the Court is evidence enough that he is most distinctly not sorry."
Bucko has a particularly good example of that...
