Blocking an ambulance

[ianrauk]

What a cock.

and thats being polite

Does the presence of a rehabilitation order not suggest that the court considers there might be some underlying issues that need addressing? If that can be done successfully while he remains off the road, that's got to be better than a custodial sentence, right?

Unless 'rehabilitation order' is just a euphemism.

No, a javelin missile.

Pricey, NLAW or phos through the window.

Compare with the coverage around the protestors; who EXPLICITLY allowed emergency services through.
There were a few stories of the congestion allegedly delaying ambulances, and social media went ballistic - I wonder what they're making of Vitara guy?!?

Whilst he may or may not be "mentally ill" per se, he's clearly not right in the head, but I've no idea how we should deal with such people, treatment, punishment, lock 'em up for the public good or what ?

It's much better to get the pitchforks out!

Which this forum appears to have welcomed with open arms

There's simply no way to rehabilitate pig-headedness and stupidity in the terminally thick. It'll always be there.
The only thing the committed idiot really understands is that their unpleasant actions can result in an unpleasant outcome for them. I'm not advocating prison, but maybe being doorstepped and then locking himself out of his flat while being seen publicly wearing a Manchester United PJ set might just get him to reflect on his life choices.

Sorry, I'm being a bit too sensible. Far be it from me to take away from the undoubted sense of catharsis which comes from calling for a public flogging on the internet.

I'm more worried about an individual needing the emergency services than an idiot, acting like an idiot, slowing the response time of said emergency service.

Obviously we're not qualified to make any sort of diagnosis but to me his behaviour seems so utterly weird that I feel there must be something else going on.

We don't punish illness. We do our best to treat it.

Are you a clinical psychologist? If he is ill, and I stress 'if' because I don't know, then it's entirely possible that he lacks the ability to make proper life choices, much less to reflect on them. And if that's the case then he requires support and not public humiliation.

I think he's been quite effectively dealt with in this case.

I find it suspicious that no one has reported on his defense or mitigating factors. Like that might lead to an understanding of the situation

There's more to this story than is being reported.

Although I can't think of a situation where I can condone his actions, I do wonder what happened in the minutes prior to what is seen in the released film
