The law is an ass!

Having watched the footage in the public domain... He was driving like an absolute moron and could very easily have killed or seriously hurt another member of the public unlucky enough to get in the middle of his real-life GTA adventure.
I understand his motivation but would he be able to explain to some parents that he had killed their kid crossing the road for the sake of a £450 bike? Red mist is a very real and dangerous thing, and this is a classic example. It's only good luck that the peeople injured were those responsible for the theft.

We could all bring '"if's and but's" into the equation. Nobody other than the thieving scum died.

Oh dear what a shame a thief died.😊

Don't get me wrong, I'm not shedding any tears for the dead crims. But English law allows a level of reasonable force to defend oneself and your property. Not a banzai 80mph car chase with scant regard for anyone else unlucky enough to be on the road at the time.
See the recent burglary verdict from Bradford where the householder had a samurai sword, the thief tried to grab it by the blade (!) and suffered life-changing injuries. The householder was found to be blameless :y

Quote from the sister of the dead motorcycle thief:
"As a family we have been taking great comfort in the strength of feeling his passing has had in our community".
Yes, I'd imagine that they are all chuffed to bits, knowing that when they park their motorbike in the drive at night, there's now a small chance that it might still be there in the morning now that he's gone. ::)
i see from the article that the dead guy was another .... loved by so many/pillar of the community/do anything for anybody type of person. Life's so unfair .... yeah right. ::)
Mind you, the guy that killed him has the type of face that wouldn't bat an eyelid when he killed someone. ;D

"Northumbria Police also posted about the case on its Facebook page, with the post garnering strong reactions, including one person who said they wanted to buy Dinisoae a pint."
Tee hee.

Dead people are always without fault. George Floyd for example.

Zero sympathy or compassion for the dead criminal , you reap what you sow and all that ...No loss .
Re the driver , Mmm no great sympathy for him either . To drive the car in the way that he did putting all around him in mortal danger whilst in a state of fury was beyond dangerous, and to inflict the final "tap" in the manner he did , although perhaps acceptable in his home country , is far from acceptable in the UK.
I think his sentence was justifiable .
It's all a bit of "Oh dear , how sad , what a pity , never mind ...Next !"

All this for £450 of motorbike.
I am stunned at how much cycle theft there is.

That's almost exactly what I was going to write.
