Robert Chubb enjoyed strolling through Preston Park in Brighton as part of his daily routine.
But he attacked an innocent woman walking her dogs through the park.
It may have been because he felt she had interfered with his routine, Brighton Magistrates’ Court heard.Who cares why this psycho felt he needed to assault someone?
It has left the victim, who The Argus has chosen not to name, with concussion and suffering with anxiety when she goes out to walk her dogs.
She said: “It happened so fast. I never spoke to the man, he has never spoken to me. But he came from behind and attacked me.
“I have not really been going to the park as much with my dogs.
“I don’t want to see the man any more, I don’t feel safe going out.
“He punched me and then walked off. That’s what makes me struggle more. Because if I did something or said something I have no idea what it was and fear it could happen again.”It already has happened far too many times....
Suzanne Soros, prosecuting, said the incident happened on July 16 last year. Ms Soros said Chubb has committed 12 previous attacks on other people between 1984 and 2017.Twelve. Twelve! Why is he still free to walk the streets?
Chubb, of York Road, Hove, represented himself in court, and a probation officer and District Judge Amanda Kelly explained to him the effect his conduct had on the victim.
The probation officer said Chubb has previously completed unpaid work but sometimes struggles juggling the community service with rehabilitation sessions.
He said Chubb has a desire for more human contact and has been quite isolated because of his condition.No, because of his actions.
Judge Kelly said: “I know your routine is important to you, but that lady’s routine has been disrupted because of your conduct.
“She liked walking her dogs without worrying about being attacked, but is now too afraid to do that.”
She ordered Chubb to complete 120 hours of unpaid work in the next 12 months and told him to pay £200 to the victim.
Meanwhile she banned him from Preston Park for three years as part of a restraining order and said he will need to find a new route for his routine.So he'll go to another park instead. How long do you give it until he assaults someone there?
And how long will it be before the authorities do their job, and make sure he's somewhere he can't assault innocent members of the public?
With luck he will pick on someone who can handle themselves and get a damn good kicking.
ReplyDeleteI know I've said it before, but don't these women have any husband, large son or male friends of any sort? While shit like this get away with it (twelve times!) they have no reason to stop. A couple of black eyes and some painful breathing (caused by someone dancing a fandango on their ribs) would probably pull them back into the real world with it's consequences for acting the twat.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! How much does it take to get these mindless thugs behind bars where they belong???
ReplyDeleteAsperger's. Why don't they just lock him up with a pile of train timetables and let him wank himself to death?
ReplyDeleteThe lack of consequences is, in my view, number one reason why former pit villages are infested with no hope toerags who do as they please. When the pits were working, if these scum pushed too far, some big lads would have a word and explain the error of their ways. Nowadays the fuzz, with their hands tied behind them, don't bother with them. Much the same as the blind eye turned to gippos, really
ReplyDeleteMuch as I don't like the sound of Robert the bikers answer to the problem it will become common in areas like mine which have been totally abandoned by the police. How long will it be until decent people start to carry self defence items? I have been tempted myself having recently been told by the owner of an agressive dog attacking my collie "shut your mouth or I will knock you out".
ReplyDeleteGive them an inch, and they take a mile.
ReplyDeleteThen don't give them an inch; give them 9mm or 0.357".
"With luck he will pick on someone who can handle themselves and get a damn good kicking."
ReplyDeleteI wonder how he's coping with government-mandated lockdown?
*chuckles*
"A couple of black eyes and some painful breathing (caused by someone dancing a fandango on their ribs) would probably pull them back into the real world..."
And land you in jail. You wouldn't get clemency. That's reserved for him.
"How much does it take to get these mindless thugs behind bars where they belong???"
A pandemic? But probably not.
"Why don't they just lock him up with a pile of train timetables and let him wank himself to death?"
LOL!
"The lack of consequences is, in my view, number one reason why former pit villages are infested with no hope toerags who do as they please. "
ReplyDeleteYes, the rot started there.
"Then don't give them an inch; give them 9mm or 0.357"."

Sadly, as anonymous points out, we are sadly lacking in the self-defence equipment stakes...
