Another thieving scumbag removed from the gene pool.

I just heard this on R4.

I think that (for once) the right thing has been done.

1 thief dead
3 thieves up on robbery charges
1 florist owner cleared of any wrong doing

Well done to the florist and to the judge.

[Hooli]

Justice for a change.

So what's going right in Manchester at the moment? There seems to have been a spate of these sort of stories recently all from that region.

[Simbu]

A good result!

I feel sorry for the florist, no-one should have to be put in the position he is in now. I hope he doesn't feel guilty or haunted by what he had to do.

[Tiggsy]

Their mistake, don't take a gun to a knife fight (with a florist)

I don't think it's "for once" at all. There was a similar case and outcome a couple of weeks ago.

hopefully more shopkeepers will take a leaf out of his book, and nip this sort of thing in the bud, before the country goes to pot

glad no evidence was planted

At least i hope it is and 'Explain' isn't some weird plant reference I don't know about, therefore, I've been hoisted by my own petard

You've heard of a Plain Tree?

(I wish there was a "back pedalling furiously" smiley).

[Hugo a Gogo]

back petalling?

at least you rose to the occasion in the end

Never mind flower.

Until the root cause of these crimes is better understood, violent assault is going to be a perennial problem.

As long as they weed out the genuine cases of self-defence, I have no problem with these stories. It's the common or garden assaults I can't tolerate.

Hoisted "with" your own petard, you damnable philistine.
