The powers that be in our society have no interest in solving him really. He is a cash cow for some of our elite in fact - the legal fraternity. Your only resort is to cross your fingers and hope he doesn't travel your way. Sorry that I can't give more effective advice.

Sticks and stones are one thing, threatening an innocent woman and children because of her husband's job goes way past that. It's vile and shows the complete lack of respect for others these scum have. The irony of him complaining that his woman didn't have maltesers while threatening another man's wife!!

Case law (precedents from judge rulings) Anyway - I was referring really to the influence of the 'human rights' conferred on crims by the euro courts. This is the real torn hamstring for us in organising suitable punishments for video lad and friends.

Glad i don't have to do there job,having to deal with vermin like that.

notjustsweet wrote: » Well.....as clever and well thought out as that remark was, it's very easy to follow a guard home after a shift. Standing outside someone's house isn't an arrestable offence and yet it's pretty intimidating. Probably slightly easier than flying to a different country, finding Donald Trump, getting past his security and punching him.

Also chuck norris would have killed him with a beard punch by then ....... obviously
