To report the twisted owner of this car to the police

I know who the owner is because he commented on the photo after it was uploaded to Facebook. He tried to defend himself by saying he's just "having a laugh" but he has no intention of removing the sticker.

Incase the photo doesn't load: this idiot has had a decal made for his car that says 'rape bus'

That's repulsive. I doubt the police would do anything sadly, although they should. All the more reason why misogyny should be a hate crime.

VioletGrace · 08/07/2020 16:42

Disgusting! I'd report the vile arsehole to the police.

FusionChefGeoff · 08/07/2020 16:42

Report it that's disgusting and has to be taken seriously. Obviously he's not actually suggesting his vehicle is used to actually rape people but it is NOT a joke and this sort of shit needs to stop.

Fxckingpain · 08/07/2020 16:43

The little fat arsehole thinks he's hilarious.

I don't want to sound dramatic but it did upset me to see. As one of many women who've been sexually assaulted it triggered me big time.

What kind of sick minded person must he be in the first place to find something like that even remotely funny?

Buddyelf · 08/07/2020 16:45

I voted YABU not because I don’t agree that it’s repulsive but who are you planning to report it to? The police? They’re not going to do anything about a car sticker. They’re stretched to the limits and an offensive sticker isn’t going to be priority

Fxckingpain · 08/07/2020 16:47

I did wonder but I'm not convinced that the police wouldn't be interested. A man had a visit from the police for displaying the word 'bell end' on the front of his house in Christmas lights and they went round demanding he take it down or be arrested.

I think the sticker is much more offensive than that. I would hope they'd make him remove it. I appreciate they're stretched though.

Speaking with a policeman in the family- he said to report it. Section 5 public order act.
Disgusting 🤬

LadyEloise · 08/07/2020 16:48

OMG
That is appalling. Angry

tractorvancar · 08/07/2020 16:48

That's fucking vile.

I'd report it, they might not deal with it or they might have a word.

Men who think this sort of shit is hilarious need to think again.

Soubriquet · 08/07/2020 16:48

Ah Grimsby.

Home of the stupid and dumb.

Unfortunately, I doubt the police will be interested but all the same it’s awful and not “bantz”

ShebaShimmyShake · 08/07/2020 16:49

It's repulsive but I don't know if it's illegal. You could try.

tractorvancar · 08/07/2020 16:50

He's likely searched for and bought that sticker, it's not the kind of thing you see in a shop. This is rape culture personified.

'Oh you uptight little women can't see that is just a JOKE'

Yes quite, it's a dead end dump full of people like this. I have the misfortune of being born there but have since moved away. I still follow some of the local pages out of curiosity more than anything and nothing ever changes there.

Disgusting. I think you should report it too.

If only sexist abuse was treated adequately in law.

Zilla1 · 08/07/2020 16:52

It might not be for the best but give the story to your local press with his name and address. They'd probably love the story and he might not be so billy big after all.

Wouldn’t it be awful if someone spilt something over it that covered it?

Destroyedpeople · 08/07/2020 16:57

I would just smash up the window with a hammer in the night. Ok I probably wouldn't.

Fairyliz · 08/07/2020 16:58

Chuck a brick through the window. If you get caught we will crowdfund on MN to pay your fine.
It’s the only action twats like that understand.

12 tonne of horse shit? Yeah that'd be terrible. If I drove behind that cunt I would struggle not to ram him.

That's what somebody was threatening to do, then the owner came on and said how it was all just one big joke and he's just having a laugh.

He has kids by the way, the owner.

I never suggest this however in this case I would see if you can find out who his employer is and make them aware of it. Does he park in their car park linking their business to his vehicle?

Destroyedpeople · 08/07/2020 17:00

I am with fairyliz. For him it's just a laugh. A visit from a cop wd also be laugh.
Brick through the window. ..might think again and stop laughing.
