The trio, who are all unemployed, were each sentenced to four months in prison, but were released on bail after a last-minute appeal. The court heard how Copperwheat was so worried she would be jailed, she attempted suicide on Saturday night.
She became hysterical in the dock, as her sentence was delivered, and shouted, “I am so sorry, it was only a joke”.Making threats to kill and demanding money with menaces? Some ‘joke’. What are you, retarded?
Oh. Of course.
The court heard Gaynor has learning difficulties, Copperwheat has mental health problems and Stubbings has a brain injury. Gaynor told officers he did not realise the upset the calls would have caused Mr Reno and added he suffered long term memory-loss.
He said they were bored and thought the calls would be funny.How terribly convenient. Really, you see, they are the victims, the poor lambs, and not the hard-working shop owner or his pregnant wife.
Dee Kaur, mitigating, told the court heard clients had: “Low intelligence and morality”, but they had not intended to harm Mr Reno.There’s a lot of ‘low intelligence and morality’ on display here, and it’s by no means confined to Gaynor, Copperwheat and Stubbings…
Er,so why aint this group of thick bastards in the nick? It is well known, that as a group, the prison population are renowned for their low IQs. Ask 'Luglees Douglas' of C Wing -smart people don't generally lose their ears on a bet. I thought this group would be well at home with the great shift in the bell curve, to the left, citizens.
ReplyDeleteDim they may be but they have each a spare kidney to donate, to show gratitude to those of us who work to keep them.
ReplyDeletePresumably if the shopkeeper had gone to the rendevous tooled up and mob handed and thrown these bellends into the cut with weights tied to their feet, he would be the villain of the piece.
ReplyDeleteIt does astonish me that there are not a great many more 'disappearances' in this country, there is certainly little justice or recourse for the common man.
Robert, I'm surprised that more concerned (i.e. normal) citizens don't get together to buy a white van, chuck various tosspots in the back, and drive them to Dartmoor, to be released like the ferals they are.
ReplyDeletePoor Dartmoor. Why not a remote Scottish Isle?
ReplyDeleteDig a pit. Not in an area destined for redevelopment. Put in lime. And place items in, trussed, dead or alive, it matters little once you fill the hole.

ReplyDeleteThere was a group of bikers in the North East who used to leave Judas goat bikes for thieves, ambush them and beat the tar out of them for it. Sounds like a good idea to me.
" I thought this group would be well at home with the great shift in the bell curve, to the left, citizens."
ReplyDeleteSadly not atypical for that area...
"It does astonish me that there are not a great many more 'disappearances' in this country..."
Well, recycling seems to be a way forward.
"Sounds like a good idea to me."
Me too!
