bud Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Last night on channel four the true crime series followed a case involving the attempted theft of a motorcycle. The home owner chased the two guys in a car after they rode off on a motorcycle after being caught in the act.I Anyone see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Wife was watching that when I came home from work. I only saw the part with the scrote being interviewed " no comment, no comment, no comment " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this morning that the thieving bast*rds are also claiming compensation from the blokes insurance for injuries in excess of 750k 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Should have the Australian law in that you cannot claim compensation if you are hurt/injured while committing a crime. I guess that just makes too much sense 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their injuries wouldn't of been so bad if they had helmets on. But they took them off, so the police wouldn't chase them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only collect the facts as evidence. It is the CPS who decide whether or not to prosecute, and they always go for the easy target. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Think if I was the bloke, I’d make sure they never got to spend their compo. Ugly illiterate scrote interviewed only came in to talk about the incident & refused to talk about the lead up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHorton Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 This is why I don't watch wind up TV cant beat a bit of violent TV fiction instead latest gangs of London is better watching.

He was found guilty, which means the jury was unanimous in their decision. im not saying this right or wrong as I don’t know enough about the case, but I think it adds some useful context to the situation. I will say he was a fool for chasing them down after the fact. I don’t know what he hoped to achieve. It’s so far beyond the scope of reasonable force, too.

No doubt in hindsight he would agree with your sentiments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
