What a lot of shit.

The fella had a knife pulled on him and a window smashed on his car, when he was IN the car! Surely that automatically gives him the right to get the fuck away from there by whatever means possible?

I assume the tit with the knife got off scot-free?

Poor fella, banged up for 3 years for defending himself and his property.

Well, there are various versions of this. If you read the above, the guy got out of his car, challenged him, then got back in his car and drove through a bush to get him.

She added: "There seems no doubt he presented weapons at you and he deliberately broke a window in your van.

"You were entitled to be angry. You were entitled to be affronted. But you were not entitled to respond by wielding your vehicle as a weapon at him in the way you did."


Suppose she'd have sat there waiting on 8 kids losing a parent.
Hope she's put in his situation sometime soon.

Armstrong mounted the pavement in his vehicle and drove it into him as he stood in nearby bushes.
The problem is the guy went after him in a revenge attack. This was discussed in depth here recently and if the guy had of run him down during the attack he cld have got off scott free. But you are not allowed to seek revenge.

Probably everybody reading this agrees that the little s**t got what was coming to him, but you hav to be smart about it and do it in a way to cover yourself, otherwise the law is gonna make u the criminal.

I don't agree that the person who did the running over should have got a medal.
He CHOSE to run the person over, most cars etc have a REVERSE, he was at no danger of a knife WHILST in the car, he should not have driven over the pavement at the bushes.
Hard situation by all means, but MEDIA will only tell you what they want to, so unless first hand knowledge you will never know the whole story anyway.
I think the whole problem lies with the lack of action by the police preceeding this event.

That would suggest he is awaiting a court appearance for an offence related to this case.

If you all read it properly it reads that the 22 year old went round the blokes house threatened him then fucked off, this bloke then jumped into his car looking for him and then ran him over later on. Bit of a differnece from what you are all saying self defence is 1 thing but running someone over that was no longer a threat to you is another matter.


Ps i think he did the right thing in running the scruffy cunt over
