Edit, how do you embed a tweet link? Ty.
they had to kick his head in to steal his bike?
I've got a really expensive mountain bike and worry about riding it these days honestly, it would be so easy to trap cyclists on the waggon ways people use in Newcastle, you can go a few miles without seeing an exit on some of them and feral kids ride motorbikes etc on them too, mostly white chavs it seems .
Crimes seem to have a habit of getting 0 media attention too.
some migrant tried to drag a young teenage lass into some bushes near a metro station up here and I only saw it mentioned once in the local paper..
It makes me wonder how much serious crime is happening in other cities but no one ever hears about it.. It's almost like they are trying to keep how lawless Britain is some kind of a secret.
every single day someone seems to be getting stabbed, it's such a horrific crime IMO and should be automatically attempted murder..
Back in the 90s it felt like attacking someone with a hammer or stabbing someone was always attempted murder? these days they get pathetic charges and pathetic sentences.
anyone involved in an attack with a weapon should serve a long time, the same goes for stamping on peoples heads.
The courts or CPS are pathetic though.
There was a guy recently who attacked someone with a hammer and stamped on the guy.
For pleading guilty it was claimed the hammer was only in his hand and never used, and he never stamped on the guy.
On Friday, the pair appeared at
Newcastle Crown Court to be sentenced for their involvement. Aaron was sentenced for assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon -the hammer. Kyle was sentenced for common assault.
The brothers entered guilty pleas to the offences on the day their trial was due to begin.
The basis of plea was that "no kicking or stamping or use of the hammer" occurred.
absolute madness, I hope someone absolutely batters them tbh
In mitigation, Christopher Knox, for Aaron Freeman, said that the hammer was not used directly as part of the violence and he had shown remorse. Recorder Herrmann said that he believed the remorse he had shown was "genuine". He added: "The offence was committed at a particularly difficult time, having lost your mother you had cared for. You had not yet started grieving." Recorder Herrmann said Kyle Freeman was "remorseful for your involvement" and had allowed himself "to be dragged along in the situation".
Aaron Freeman, of Bamburgh Terrace, Ashington, was given nine months prison, suspended for 18 months and must complete 35 rehabilitation days. Kyle Freeman, of College Road, Ashington, was given a 12 month conditional discharge.
got get a hammer to attack someone who clapped you, get your big brother to gelp....
get pathetic sentences even though it was premeditated
does
was given nine months prison, suspended for 18 months
mean it's basically a non sentence as long as he keeps out of trouble for 18months?
I thought that was called Conditional discharge? or something like that?
