Probation is a privilege, not a right. We probably oughtn't say much more though as it's an outstanding case and this is one where sub judice might genuinely apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOR Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Maybe this should be in Douglas Sh@thole thread but I suppose this one can't be blamed on Douglas per se, but it does remind me of Douglas from the 1970s and beyond, when it was sport for the local thugs to batter random visitors An unprovoked attack on someone visiting the Island to watch his son play football. (Aye, the Isle of Man has dead 'ard football supporters). This is in Castle Street and man who had had "a few alcoholic drinks" hit a visitor in an unprovoked attack. Amazingly, Article 8 of the Human Rights Act was invoked From Manx Independent: Edited September 14, 2022 by AOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is clearly a huge opinionated bell-end who fails to see that he got off lightly. It looks like it was a totally unprovoked attach for absolutely no reason other than he was pissed and angry. I hope his employer sacked him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just formalisation of the sort of thing you might have seen in any court report in the last 100 years, where there would be a plea not to send someone to jail because they had children dependent on them. The Article 8 reference only seems to have appeared in the last few years, but it means exactly the same thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxweegie Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/ban-for-driver-who-suffered-significant-head-injury-after-orrisdale-crash/ Why is this reported in such a biased way to the driver who caused the injury, through actions entirely of his fault? The sentencing is also so soft considering the actual state of injuries of the other driver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Magistrates tell a drug driver that his conviction is a ''solitary lesson''!!! Just one then? Other drug driver banned for 5 years, 1k fine, for being 0.7 over limit, 2nd offense, that doesn't sound like weak sentencing? What if he has to drive to pick up his supply!!!

I hate the fact that the sun is used as excuse for accidents, so all the times he’s driven previously and the sun wasn’t an issue, then on this one particular day it’s suddenly an issue? “I didn’t see that pedestrian/cyclist/motorcyclist/stationary object due to the sun” Well how about you just drive to the conditions and accept some responsibility, exactly as you’d expect others to do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do get a lawyer, probation and social workers, and a lenient court. The innocent victim gets f**k all and no justice. I'd be paying Michael Trevor France a visit...

You should have read some of the comments him and his girlfriend left on Facebook under the news report. He came across as someone who might benefit from a good kicking.

Half the minimum sentence given to those who may have smoked cannabis the previous day and caused no accidents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
