Title: Caught myself a scumbag......
Post by: minifreek on 09 March 2017, 17:06:15
So....

Wife went to her parents house about 10:15 coz they are getting on a bit now and she hasnt seen them for a week or so....

I was upstairs in our bedroom...


I had just got changed into my scruffs, coz Im doing a bit of decorating in my sons room, thought Id just check email and have a quick look on Ebay....

Dog started to bark, he does this if the wind changes direction - but I looked on the CCTV cameras anyway and saw nothing, so thought nothing of it....

A minute or so went by, and out the corner of my eye I saw a shadow... thinking that maybe my middle lad had come home from school early... went to see what he came home for... some fella was stood with his back to me, then turned round... honestly I shit meself, then andrenalin started to kick in, I grabbed hold of him and started to ask questions like... who the F are you....? What the F are you doing in my sons room etc.... He said he was a taxi driver and his fair had just run off from him and he was looking for someone called John... I escorted him via his throat down the stairs to find this 'taxi'... then he said his 'mate' was driving the taxi and must have drove off finding this fella called John...

We went outside, saw no taxi, he started to struggle and plead with me to let him go and he couldnt breathe... I wasn't letting him go, nor was I loosening my grip of him.... went back into my house to get my phone to call police, he started pushing me back, I dragged him outside again and threw him to floor... Now anyone thats ever met me will tell you Im not exactly big, maybe a bit fat but not big, Im 5'5 1/2 and 14 stone.... at this point there was a neighbour walking by with her dog and baby in pram, she stopped and saw what had happened and asked do I need Police, yes was the answer.... she called the Police and went about her business.... I had him pinned up against our front fence and front of our house with my elbow on his throat and my other hand gripping his coat.... I loosened my grip a little bit as he was turning blue and gasping for breath, as he started to sit down he pushed me away from him and pissed off.... I chased after him, I cant run and he was getting away from me, fortunately another neighbour must have heard the shouting etc... and saw this fella running from me.... he rugby tackled him to the ground, thankfully... I caught up and knelt on his chest, this time I wasnt gonna let go of him if he turned blue or any other colour... I dragged him back to my house and waited for the Police to turn up.... it fealt like ages but was only a couple of minutes of that....

Anyhoo the long and short of it, a scumbag is off the street, Im not hurt - I cant say that he isnt...


Iv had the Police onto me this morning telling me that he was kept in custody overnight, he will be going to court today, and confident he will get a couple of years away.

He's been charged with a number of offences, as he'd been into someone else's house before coming to mine....

It seems that just googling his name has brought up a few things about him, he just doesn't learn, do they ever....?



Sorry for the long post....

I stongly suggest you remove his name, just in case it could be percieved as prejudicial in court.

Great! It's good to see the villain getting done rather than the victim, as so often happens these days, with PC and all that bowlocks.  :y :y :y

Thanks folks, me kids think Im Superman LOL

The Policeman who came here, was amazed at how calm I was in dealing with him and not giving him a clout, I didnt see the need for it TBH he wasnt hitting me so why should I hit him... If my kids and wife was home, it might have ended differently for him...

Well done. I think you should have been allowed to shoot him* though.  ;)

*In the absence of a firearm, other methods of despatch are available.

I think you might need to wait until he's actually convicted I'm afraid.

Nah. Don't do half a job. If you're gonna go down that route just kill the f**ker and claim it was self defense. That way there is no side B to the story  ;)

I didn't necessarily mean gently ::)

One of my more troubled neighbours slipped down the stairs pissed and broke his neck... his cleaner found him a couple of days later.

I suspect his abused Staffie probably gave him a shove :-X

Yes, but think about it... if he "fell" down your stairs his scumbag family will sue for your dangerous stairs  ::)

Good. One less.  ;)

Think about it further though.....NO Victim (falling down stairs is a good test to see if the euro lot have changed our rules on gravity)  = NO crime :y

That is scary shite dude  :o You were prepared to have a go  :y the bad guy  >:( is hopefully gonna be taken off the streets.
Could we all do the same, do we risk our lives for property  :-\
Unless you have the skills & attitude to deal with a situation like this, I suggest you get the hell out .

Good job.  :y   However, a word of caution . . . 

If this had been in certain areas of London or elsewhere he may well have been armed with a knife or even a gun. Could have been a very different outcome.

I know Parbold. Used to stay at a great little hotel with a good restaurant as a stop off on way to Scotland or if I had business in the area  :y

(I don't recall any knives or guns )
