I will do what I have to, protecting my fantasy and myself.

Aeroflotgirl · 13/04/2018 10:41

Family though

Aeroflotgirl · 13/04/2018 10:44

I saw some of those responses, Stitched, absolutely vile some of those comments towards an elderly man who had to defend himself against a criminal.

Slievenamon · 13/04/2018 10:46

They were balanced by those shrieking how appalling it was that he was arrested and interviewed and how he should have got a medal rather than an interview.

stitchglitched · 13/04/2018 10:48

They wouldn't have been so bad Aero if the same posters weren't also lecturing others for rushing to judgement and not wanting due process followed.

Aeroflotgirl · 13/04/2018 10:50

Can give it, but can't take it stitched. I think what they said about Mr osborne-Brooks was worse. They are no better than the criminals nasty vile family.

Slievenamon · 13/04/2018 10:52

People who say things you don't like on mn are no better than burglaring criminals?
You really are ludicrous. Next, why people who don't pick up dog poo are worse than Hitler!

Why does anyone bother engaging with such nonsense as you spout?

BertrandRussell · 13/04/2018 10:52

Are you one of those,Bertrand. Fawn over a criminal. Kick the victim when theyre down"

Nope.

BoneyBackJefferson · 13/04/2018 10:53

Ggggrrrrrrr

Where is the compassion from the burglar's family?
Where is their remorse and compassion at their "daddy" (good use of emotional word there) forcing someone to defend and kill someone?
Where is their remorse and compassion at forcing an old couple out of their homes with their actions?

BertrandRussell · 13/04/2018 10:55

As it was self defence, it doesn't matter whether Mr Osborn-Brooks was "frail" or not. But as a matter of fact there was no suggestion that he was.

Mydoghatesthebath · 13/04/2018 10:56

Shrieking

Perhaps from those who have been burgled like me and have elderly infirm parents who have been burgled like me.

I think it’s ok to shriek against evil and hate as shown by this scum, better than pandering and explaining away evil and hate in my opinion. That just allows it to continue and grow in society.

BertrandRussell · 13/04/2018 10:57

"Where is the compassion from the burglar's family?"

There doesn't appear to be any. Because they are deeply, deeply unpleasant people.

Mydoghatesthebath · 13/04/2018 10:57

I think you may find most humans at 87 are quite frail. Probably frail compared to a middle aged fit bloke don’t you think? Hmm

Aeroflotgirl · 13/04/2018 10:58

Don't be so silly Sliver, but those comments about him were just nasty and belong in the gutter like thefamily. Those commenters really lowered themselves like that, insulting a victim of crime.

stitchglitched · 13/04/2018 10:58

Henry Vincent and his family specifically targetted a certain group as victims based solely on their likely vulnerability. However fit and healthy a 78 year old might be he is still unlikely to fare well against a 37 and 28 year old. It was pure luck that he wasn't the one killed that night.

Mydoghatesthebath · 13/04/2018 11:00

Again I refer to Elendon who felt the gentleman was neither old!!! Or frail.

What a way to live your life with so little compassion

Mydoghatesthebath · 13/04/2018 11:03

Slievermon

I think you are in a very tiny minority here and that’s fine you are fully entitled to your opinions but in general it usually means you are wrong

Jannilost · 13/04/2018 11:03

For everyone wondering why people have no sympathy for the family, maybe because they continuously ripped off and targeted elderly and vulnerable people?

Jannilost · 13/04/2018 11:05

Also don't tell vicar I'm back Grin

Look not going through that drama again!! It was like an episode of ‘the bill’ last night!

BertrandRussell · 13/04/2018 11:16

"I think you may find most humans at 87 are quite frail. Probably frail compared to a middle aged fit bloke don’t you think? hmm"
78. And many 78 year olds would be seriously pissed off at being called frail. But his frailty or otherwise is irrelevant. Self defence is self defence.
