Ridiculous - we were supposed to be protected from this sort of stuff.

[Gaffers]

Thats hardly doing nothing wrong.  We are protected from those entering our homes while they are in our homes (and thus a threat to the people in the house)  This chap went out deliberately to find these guys using his vehicle to intimidate.  He ended up nearly killing one of them in the process and quite rightly needs locking up.

There is a big difference between protecting your home and viligante justice (in the eyes of the law that is)

[cleggy]

Although I am a Hang 'em, and Retribution man

Reading this press report the guy just went too far, you see I also believe that we should be protected from drug users who are prone to the 'red mist'. In this case I would have given the lot of them 10 years hard labour in a nick of a Bankok standard, not one of our half sentence luxury hotels 

[Martin_1962]

Remember they were riding HIS bike, they were bike thieves, a form of life which many bikers would be happy to seen shot.

If they had not stolen the bike in the first place they would not have been injured.

BTW I would have ignored the injuries to the thieves and done him for the drugs and dangerous driving.

[Varche]

Forum members with long memories will know my views on TWOC. 20 years hard labour followed by exile to a leper colony would be a start.

However this victim went too far in my eyes. There is also more to the story than they are telling reading between the lines.

What a sad state of affairs.

[mantahatch]

Suspect there is more to this story. I quote " No action was taken on a 12-month suspended jail sentence for a drugs offence. "

Going by what has been reported, which is probably biassed in some way, he got off lightly. He knew he'd done wrong and was trying to cover his tracks

Had he met them coming off of his property and collided "accidentally" as he claims I'm sure the outcome would have been different

Totally agree

[bigboykarl]

fact remains that if the thieving scum had kept there fingers to themselves there would have been no bike for them to get knocked off

.. and if the owner of the bike had pursued them through legal means instead of taking the law into his own hands he wouldn't be looking at 3 years of porridge.

And would legal process have worked.

I hope thief gets 5 years

[tigers_gonads]

Got to admit I am partal to a bit of " what goes around, comes around " but to use a car like that is going too far imo.

Now if he was to bump into them on a dark night with no witnesses and just happen to have a old sock with a few good handfulls of coins in it
