Trash you'd do, irrational drunken violence and the Mail

Lovely couple by the sounds of it - did you see the bit at the end about the boyfriend?

In 2005 he was jailed for 16 months for false imprisonment following an incident in Greater Manchester in which a man was tied up and put in a car boot before he was driven to a river where he eventually drowned.

How is that not murder?

[ringram]

.. someone else drove him there?

[andy400]

..and he claimed not to know what they were going to do with the bound and gagged man inthe boot of the car..... Riiiight

Good legal representation then?

I genuinely don't get it. The US system seems much clearer that everyone in the car is equally guilty of the death of the person regardless of who threw him in the river!

Yes, plus additional penury/hard labour/lapidation for paying to watch a stupid game in the first place

As far as I can see, they dangled him over the River Tame in Mossley with a washing line "for a laugh". It broke, he fell in, they did nothing to save him, he drowned.

Not clear from that article where it happened - Roaches Lock is in Mossley, not Ashton, and is about the only place I can think of round there where there is enough river to drown in. Seems more likely to me that he was chucked in there and his body found downstream in Ashton.

Due credit to the BBC for being the only major news outlet arsed to spell "Tame" correctly, though.

Used to live in the area - some nice bits round there, but some utter pikey steholes, too.

The "victim" refused to co-operate with the police or to give evidence in the trial. Bearing in mind the other circumstances, why on earth did the CPS decide to take it to court?

That wouldn't be murder anyway, would it?

If in the original scenario, the scumbag helped abduct and tie someone up, and that someone was then murdered by river whilst still tied up, that would make scumbag an accessory at the very least wouldn't it?

I dunno, I'm fick.....

This one could hitch it.

I can't see how that's similar at all - you haven't just flipped it round, you've turned it inside out as well. The victim was a bloke who wasn't interested in pursuing the case. There were no useful witnesses.

ah, the joys of Huddersfield which is where I am going for some lovely beers tonight

there is always trouble in town it's quite rough, my boxing coach was in an altercation the other night i'll find out more about it tonight! Just today there was a brawl outside my gym (nirvana fitness) with two blokes so i'm not surprised that someone got kicked in the head in a taxi - far worse happens most nights of the week.

a guy i go to the gym with works on the door at the calder in brighouse and that is always trouble - apparently he didn't know which fight to stop next on saturday night!

i'm sure when i'm in sizzlers or centros in about 12 hours time there will be trouble - i'm not sure why I go out, the girls are as rough as a badgers backside anyway!

Got out of my car last night in Huddersfield after watching the A-team (a half decent action film) and was walking down to 'the strip', the first thing we came across was a large street brawl with about 4 guys on each side and a couple of girls trying to break up trouble and the street police or whatever trying to break it up, fists flying everywhere!

next was on to a rough bar where just looking at someone wrongly would get you a good glassing but we managed to keep trouble free in there too - girls as rough as they come.

moved on to another bar and everyone was off their faces, I don't mean a bit of coke i mean full on e's and mdma stuff and a few people slumped outside on the floor in the smokers bit but not too much trouble.

then onto 'tokyo' the nightclub which was not too bad actually for what it is.

whilst walking to the hotel there was another altercation between some youths and a taxi driver/s - never mess with a taxi driver because within about 5 minutes you can have a LOT of his mates turning up which is just what happened and that trouble led off into the grounds of the church - i'm sure someone will have had a serious kicking there.

well, what a night, didn't get a takeaway so didn't see the usual takeaway fights but that's just on a wednesday.

But other than that you had a good night.Haha.

I'm in Macclesfield,same situation at weekends here.

a thousand fold

I'll never complain again about the local pikeys :engages politically correct mode: travellers shanking each other and leaking claret outside the local "wine bar" just up from the canal basin.



Edited to add, the subject of the OP, wouldn't, not even with yours, not even with beer goggles on.

Waits for cracks about her having to wear the beer goggles...
