[QUOTE=lolwutdude;43689727]and? our point was more that fp was being hilariously bloodthirsty and approving two dudes beating up a dude past self-defense till 3 limbs broke[/QUOTE] 2 dudes stealing from a guy with a weapon. He broke one guys arms/legs and than tackled the other (restraining him, not torturing). He should have to pay a fine for that. Setting prison time for that sets a bad precedent for self defense.

There was 1[/QUOTE] okay my bad, i misread it, i apologize but that makes it worse lol, i can see them accidently overdoing it somewhat if it was one or more guy doing it, instead its a wailing on a dude and committing an excess of justice [editline]27th January 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Rangergxi;43690033]2 dudes stealing from a guy with a weapon.

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;43687467]AFAIK the punishment the thief received was absolutely not sufficient for the crime. £75 and no jail time is a total joke. Makes it worth it to try again - Steal 2 tanks of petrol and you've already covered the fine. Would probably receive the punishment, get straight out, and do it again. With the justice he received this time, hopefully he'll think twice about doing it again when he heals up. It's good that the thief wasn't carrying a knife - because I have no doubt he would have used it in self defense whilst getting his ass beaten.[/QUOTE] What kind of a demonizing shitlord are you, anyway? Look at the fact that he [I]didn't[/I] carry a knife, rather than speculate on whether or not he'd use it. OF COURSE he would use it, just like you, me and anyone else on this planet. Don't try to make this dude into some common murderer who doesn't care about people at all.
i don't know why he needed to break 3 limbs
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;43690174]i don't know why he needed to break 3 limbs[/QUOTE] I'd assume if you're trying to get someone incapacitated as fast as you can (so he doesn't help the other attacker), you aren't going to think "uhhhh, yeah, one leg and most part of the other, he's pretty much done." You'll probably hit it until you think it stops being a threat (example, when he's not fighting back anymore).
[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;43690174]i don't know why he needed to break 3 limbs[/QUOTE] He must have broken them very quickly to still have time to restrain the other guy

[QUOTE=SCopE5000;43687230] I think the atrocious thing is that the robber was only fined £75 (and no jail time) for attempting to steal £50 worth of diesel... So what does that mean? You only risk £25 when you go to steal £50 worth of goods so you might as well give it a go? Also atrocious that the other guy faced life imprisonment if found guilty. Actually amazed that the justice system worked the way it should this time around.[/QUOTE] I think the two broken legs and arm aquit him of any further penalty. He's going to have to live with that for the rest of his natural life.

guys i stole a mars bar does this mean i deserve to be drawn and quartered Oh wait modern justice is(/should be) based around rehabilitation instead of revenge
According to some people, two men (one with a weapon) that have been stealing your shit for a while should just be papped and told no. Seriously are you fucking serious. The whole "well that's overkill/he's 50 years old" argument is almost as bad as the why didn't he shoot him in the legs or why did they shoot him 20 times. When there's a threat against you, you make sure he can't do shit towards you.
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;43690056]i care more about fp trying to justify breaking 3 limbs from ian mckellen looking wannabe when the owner could have just broken a single limb and actually saying its awesome[/QUOTE] I think there's a difference between "the thief deserved to get his limbs broken" and "the thief shouldn't be complaining that someone violently defended their property that you were trying to steal." Besides, what argument is there to make when you say "Look at all these people who think broken limbs are acceptable"?
I don't think this guy has a leg to stand on.
while i think the guy went overboard breaking three limbs, i don't think the thief has any right to complain about it since he was breaking the law anyway should probably enroll the guy in anger management classes though
How do you break two legs and an arm in a citizens arrest? Sounds like the guy took his anger out on him and maliciously broke him in revenge, do you guys not know how hard it is to break bones with your body? You need to use force on specific parts of the body.
not if he's 54 and you have a fence post
[QUOTE=Frustration96;43687316]Of course he did! I'm amazed he had the balls to claim to be the victim after someone defended themselves from a thief. Doesn't matter what he was stealing, he was still stealing.[/QUOTE] So if the man stole a bag of m&ms he would deserve the same thing?
He probably got tackled as he tried to run and that's how he broke his crap, he doesn't seem all bruised up from a severe beating. I'm sure he did deserve it because petrol theft is really common and the people who are usually the perpetrators do it more than once, so it's never just 50 pounds/dollars/euros, it's that amount quite often being stolen from you. Not saying that you need to get your arms/legs broken for it but I bet none of you would've held back too if some ass kept stealing your livelyhood.
[QUOTE=pkhzor;43690608]He probably got tackled as he tried to run and that's how he broke his crap, he doesn't seem all bruised up from a severe beating.[/QUOTE] That's just false considering the article says the thief claims he was beaten with a stick.
[QUOTE=ThaBoss;43690456] Oh wait modern justice is(/should be) based around rehabilitation instead of revenge[/QUOTE] Please note that it wasn't the state or judicial system that broke his appendages. Also note that he didn't tie him up and spend hours doing this. The injured victim was pushed down by a guy who than jumped onto another guy to stop them from running away.

Calm yourself and join the hivemind in celebration. I can't wait until one of you guys pulls a Godwin out of this somehow.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;43690630]That's just false considering the article says the thief claims he was beaten with a stick.[/QUOTE] The words you need to look at are "thief" and "claims"
[QUOTE=343N;43690598]So if the man stole a bag of m&ms he would deserve the same thing?[/QUOTE] No, but common sense should let you see the fine line between stealing something silly or necessary and stealing something unacceptable and only used for high personal profit. If you steal M&Ms, it's not going to help you with anything really, and it's not like they are worth a lot. Gas is a different story, it's worth a lot and you can live without it, and if you pull something like that you can't expect the law to serve you right when you didn't serve it right.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;43690630]That's just false considering the article says the thief claims he was beaten with a stick.[/QUOTE] I've always taken the word of someone who was caught stealing with a pinch of salt when it came to their side of the story. Especially when the weapon was the one you brought with you.
-nope
[QUOTE=pkhzor;43690733]The words you need to look at are "thief" and "claims"[/QUOTE] I don't see why he has any reason to lie about it considering that his fucking limbs are broken. It's a bit harder to break 2 legs and an arm by tackling someone, and I say this as someone who gives zero shits that the thief's limbs are broken.

People aren't going to sympathise with someone who got screwed stealing. People are going to sympathise with a man who was badly injured from a mad man beating him with a stick as he only needed diesel to help.... feed his family....
[QUOTE=Jorori;43687328]Can you all please get more vindictive and sociopathic? This is like being happy at a person becoming tetraplegic and wanting them to die just because they tried to steal a piece of bread. It's not justice, it's just cold-blooded murderous revenge.[/QUOTE] no SH thread is complete without someone calling everyone sociopathic
