mackem 27,372 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 If it was a poacher shooting up a keepers vehicle he would be f***ed http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7441122.stm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 3 & 2 years?! I thought the minimum for ANY gun crime was 5 years? Takes the p*ss. Maybe the lad shouldn't have been there, but there's no excuse for pointing your gun at someone, let alone pulling the trigger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 27,372 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 The fact is he has robbed a kid virtually of his life just for a f***ing rabbit,he fired five indiscriminate rounds into a vehicle because of some kids lamping with a lurcher. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 What's that? Some kind of video, mate? Can't watch that Got a name or something I can Google for a written report, please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coney 3 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 So does it make anyone "free game" if they are trespassing??..........fair enough the lad should,nt have been there but to shoot/paralyse him is a bit strong!!!.....trouble is some of the land "gentry" around the country are living in the past and think it is acceptable take pot shots at so called poachers.

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Good god! (Cheers for that, mate) Must've been out of their f*cking minds! See now why he's down as a " Former Gamekeeper "! I mean, ok, it's all well and good saying it was " only a sixteen year old kid " and he was " Just Lamping a few rabbits ". But he was in the company of others and who knows what property they'd be trashing in their - doubtless - 4 x 4 on that and countless other nights. But, saying that, anyone who opens fire on People has to be right out of their tiny little f*cking minds! Blow the tyres out and sort things out when they make a runner? Sure. But pointing firearms at human beings?! FFS! Oh well. There it is. It's happened and could yet happen again. Still; " F*ck The Ban ". " Born To Hunt ", eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caravan Monster 323 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Former gamekeeper and his mate must have had seriously expensive barristers to convince the court that shooting at people does not constitute intention to endanger life. Sounds more like attempted murder to me. British judicary impartial as ever... FFS! can' t believe they got off so light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,372 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I wonder the punishment if a 16 year old kid had put five indiscriminate rounds onto a keepers vehicle and crippled him? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LDR 29 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Some game keepers do think they're the mustard though, i was out walking my dogs with my misses who was a week away from dropping our sprog and this game keeper come flying up in his 4x4 shouting his mouth off about being on his land!!!! now this s a place with signposted footpaths with walkers all over the place, granted my dogs were off leads, but they were close into me and there wasn't a sheep or owt to be seen!!! I thought ah f**k it, keep it chilled and ignore him.....so then the prick starts saying he'll shoot my dogs and blah blah blah, which i didnt think was very nice, he didnt seem so so full of beans when i told him his name and that i knew who he was, f*****g gobshite, wanted to be all friendly then, and started saying he ment that someones dog was gonna end up shot!!!
