A man who urinated on a woman as she lay dying and shouted "this is YouTube material" has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Anthony Anderson also covered Christine Lakinski with shaving foam after she collapsed in a Hartlepool street.

The 50-year-old, who suffered from a number of medical conditions, was later pronounced dead at the scene.

Absolutely appalling... shocking... disgusting. Words fail to describe how somebody can find enjoyment in what he did.

Scum to be quite ******* honest!

:mad:

I believe I actually would kill him if he'd done anything like that to someone I cared about.

Same here, my mum is disabled.
She's got crumbling bones, a kidney conidtion, sciatica and osteoporosis in her spine, a crumbling jaw and a whole heap of other problems which I won't go into.
She gets tired easily when out and needs to rest if she does too much... and my first thought was what I would do if I found someone had done this to her.

This is being repeated on Radio One right now...

I'm still sickened and appauled by this.

The woman in question suffered from disabilities all her life, and was already dying on her own doorstep coming home from shopping when the attack happened.

She was kicked and then a bucket of water was thrown over her... when she didn't move, he urinated on her and then covered her in shaving foam.

Those people that stood there watching, laughing... even filming the abuse should be tried as well.

I can't believe that a woman who suffered throughout her life, was not allowed to die in peace and to keep her dignity during her last moments.

Whilst I don't know myself for sure, but I'd have to agree with Von.

You could argue that whilst a robbery may be against the law, there may be a decent reason for trying to do so... paying off debts, trying to turn your life around etc.

Again, I'm not condoning armed robbery but it I would hazard a guess that any armed robbers doing time in prison would feel exactly the same way as most people would and that an act this disgusting deserves no merit and can have no justification.
