Assault With A Deadly….Reptile?

A father-of-four threw a lizard at a man in a revenge attack, a court heard yesterday.
We aren’t told what type. Of lizard, I mean. I think we can guess what type of ‘father of four’ we’re dealing with here…
“The defendant walked off to a nearby park, where he was seen sitting quietly with the lizard on his shoulder,” said Lynsey Knott, prosecuting in Nottingham.
When put inside a police van, Dunn urinated in the rear and spat at a police officer.
There’s no mention of how the lizard behaved, though we can only assume it was a lot better…
Miss Knott said Dunn told police he launched the attack because the man had assaulted him several years earlier. A nine-month prison term, suspended for two years, was imposed on Dunn, of Clifford Avenue, Beeston.
Steve Ramsell, in mitigation, said Dunn had a series of problems and had been drinking on the day of the offences.
Bit of an understatement there...

    It presumably wasn't a monitor lizard.

    I am surprised the RSPCA has not been involved for cruelty to lizards, was the lizard taken into care?

    He's not a David Icke enthusiast because he didn't think to blame the lizard for instructing him.

    "Dunn had a series of problems"

    No, it's decent people that have a series of problems: that scum like this are permitted to roam the street; that the perjuring filth in wigs aren't dying on the gallows; that we are still having to subsidise these sickening vermin.

    That is enough problems for anyone,

    What happened to the days when magistrates would say that being drunk may be a reason for anti social behaviour but would not be accepted as an excuse? Huge fines, or minor custodial sentences in lieu - the answer for those on benefits - and media publicity with photos seemed to offer a suitable punishment and an incentive to behave.

    I keep wondering where the lizard was when he was in the pub.

    Heh! I'm guessing iguana, the most common docile pet species.

    "He's not a David Icke enthusiast because he didn't think to blame the lizard for instructing him."

    :D

    "I keep wondering where the lizard was when he was in the pub."

    Perhaps he bought it a lemonade and a pkt of crisps & left it outside?
