[QUOTE]A teenager who stabbed a girl in the face and smashed another's head against a fence because they called him HARRY POTTER has been jailed for more than four years. But the 19-year-old snapped after the girls called him Harry Potter, stabbing one in the face so hard the blade of his vegetable knife broke. Walker then smashed the other's head against a fence and shouted "die, die". He claimed he launched the ferocious attacks in Southampton after being goaded repeatedly by the girls. Solent News Victims Emma Keeble, 15, and 16-year-old Leah Pearce, are still coming to terms with their injuries, which left their faces battered, cut and bruised. Southampton Crown Court heard how Walker returned to his family flat after shopping for his mother and had to pass the girls sitting on the stairs. One touched his shopping bag before verbally abusing him and telling him he resembled Harry Potter. Outraged, Walker saw red and came back downstairs with a milk bottle full of water and threw it over the girls. He then went back into the flat and re-emerged with a vegetable knife before walking to a local park - knowing the girls would follow him. Walker then lost his temper, stabbing Leah in the face, who then started bleeding profusely. He attacked Emma, flooring her with a series of punches and kicks, before smashing her head against a fence, shouting "die, die". After his arrest he made a full confession, describing his actions as "monstrous". Solent New He pleaded [URL="http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/crime"]guilty[/URL] to wounding with intent, attempting wounding with intent and possessing a bladed article. Walker's defence barrister Keely Harvey told the court he was bullied at school and seen as a "wimp". She said: "He finally lost it. He flipped and attacked them in this most horrific way, not justifiable, but I hope they can now see where it came from." Passing sentence, Judge Peter Ralls QC, said the girls may have been rude, but there was no justification for what Walker did. He said: "It was deliberate and planned. It was a sustained attack in which you used the knife as a weapon and your foot as a weapon." Walker was sentenced to a jail term of four and a half years. After the sentence, Leah's mum Claire Pearce, said: "The injury has left a scar on Leah's face that will be there for years. "I don't think the sentence was enough for what he did. He admitted he flipped and it was the final straw. "I think he is a dangerous man given he flipped like that and attacked the girls. "I feel sorry for the next person that calls him a name."

That's just stupid. I would be proud to be called Harry Potter.
He doesn't look anything like Harry Potter(I assume they meant the movie version).
4 years is low considering he [B]stabbed a girl in the face[/B]...
Since my name is Harry and usually people use the Potter reference to remember it, I declare this the mother of all overreactions.
[QUOTE=SCopE5000;43889690]4 years is low considering he [B]stabbed a girl in the face[/B]...[/QUOTE] and the fact he snapped just because someone called him Harry Potter, that's one incredibly short fuse.
Definately an overreaction, but I have a feeling theres more to this story than just the girls saying it once.
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;43889718]and the fact he snapped just because someone called him Harry Potter, that's one incredibly short fuse.[/QUOTE] It's entirely possible that that fuse has been burning for a long time, and only just burned up.
[QUOTE=reevezy67;43889678]He doesn't look anything like Harry Potter(I assume they meant the movie version).[/QUOTE] Glasses = Harry Potter. It doesn't matter what you look like.
That Fucking title, I feel bad for laughing. This kid obviously had been bullied before then to provoke this attack though, hence why he knew they would follow him. Those girls are Idiots for pushing this kid, they were looking for a reaction and they got one, still completely unjustifiable though.

oh i thought it was daniel radcliffe jumping in on this recent celebrity rap-sheet 1-upsmanship just your average psychopath getting locked the fuck up
For a minute there I was afraid Daniel Radcliffe got arrested for doing something unsavory.
he should be hung by his thumbs in the dungeons edit: expected more potter people
Are they going to call the girl Harriet Potter now because of her face scar?
Looks like your typical bullies harassing a kid until he snaps.
I went through an entire childhood/adolescence with "Simple Simon" and "Simon Says". This guy has a fuse shorter than a Ken doll's penis. I also expected an article about Dan Radcliffe deciding that being a sex offender was good for his career.
[QUOTE=Electrocuter;43889718]and the fact he snapped just because someone called him Harry Potter, that's one incredibly short fuse.[/QUOTE] It says he was repeatedly verbally harrased by them you may have thick skin but some people don't want or have the ability to spend that much time getting berated.
How about a source?
[QUOTE=FinalHunter;43889712]That's really what he wanted, wasn't it? I think four and a half years is too long. Sounds like they were intentionally just being straight up assholes and he couldn't handle it anymore. Mental abuse can be just as bad as physical. I get that he did a horrible thing but he still didn't instigate it.[/QUOTE] Yeah maybe like..pushing them over or something, but he straight up almost murdered them.
If he was really Harry Potter, he would have shouted "Avada Kedavra."
The likely scenario is that this didn't just happen once and he snapped. Until we have a have a way to deal with this type of thing, people are bound to snap.
[QUOTE=SCopE5000;43889690]4 years is low considering he [B]stabbed a girl in the face[/B]...[/QUOTE] he pleaded guilty, handed himself in to police and made a full confession judicial courts have to take into account circumstances like above as well as the fact he likely was bullied for the majority of his life
[QUOTE=Raged;43889939]he pleaded guilty, handed himself in to police and made a full confession judicial courts have to take into account circumstances like above as well as the fact he likely was bullied for the majority of his life[/QUOTE] yeah but he also stabbed a girl in the face
i got called harry potter the other day, just because my hair looks like his the guy telling me this is the guy who fails every class, doesn't respect anyone/thing, and is going to amount to nothing, so i'm not phased at all. I was tempted to tell him "if i was harry potter i would have cast a spell to silence you a while ago", but giving the kid attention is the worst thing you can do.
[QUOTE=ThePanther;43889672]That's just stupid. I would be proud to be called Harry Potter.[/QUOTE] Yeah nah, after the first 10 times it gets really fucking annoying.
had all the people on my high school football team call me diggory because my first name is cedric idgaf, cedric is a kickass name
[QUOTE=Suttles;43889964]"if i was harry potter i would have cast a spell to silence you a while ago", but giving the kid attention is the worst thing you can do.[/QUOTE] thats probably the worst kind of thing you could ever say to a bully
[QUOTE=turd dad;43889947]yeah but he also stabbed a girl in the face[/QUOTE] He's clearly been through psychological abuse and wasn't thinking straight when he did this. He needs serious help more than anything.
