It wasn't planned, he didn't mean it. Seriously, what did he think would happen if he hit a police woman with a sledgehammer!

[HeyHoHenryHippy]

Remember the man that hit a policewoman with a sledgehammer breaking her spine?

"Corner was also found guilty of inflicting grievous bodily harm after striking Sgt Kate Evans twice with a sledgehammer, fracturing her spine. He was cleared of the more serious offence of causing grievous bodily harm with intent."

"Corner had told the court he "would never want to seriously hurt anyone" and he denied using violence against people during the raid was planned."

It wasn't planned, he didn't mean it.

Unbelievable shit.

Another violent man being given excuses. Same old.

they protest arms companies ? imagine if war came to england would they still be protesting those very same arms companies if Britain needed them ?

The ones that are pioneering summary execution from the skies and little squares of metal in explosions designed to do maximum harm to a human body?

Nope not in my name...this a race to the depths....of depravity.

Meanwhile this thread is supposedly about outrage to violence toward 1 person and not hundreds of thousands ...selective outrage

so if Britain was being invaded and conquered then you would rather they conquered Britain and we were ruled by whoever they were eg Russia etc than support an arms company that would help to defend our great nation ?

It's called morality. If you sink to the depradations of the aggressor how are you defending anything...you ARE them.

Which, ironically is I imagine what these young people felt too.

You're right, the people who broke in and then fractured a woman's spine are definitely depraved aggressors.

someone tell Churchill he made the wrong decision to defend the uk

So this bloke who smashed the spine of some one with a sledgehammer is a moralistic upstanding young person… “the greater good” ?

Well yes, because he's on the side of the 'goodies' therefore whatever he does is justified.

Unlike the police officer who was trying to do her job in stopping them from smashing up private property. She's either a baddie for using 'extreme violence' (see earlier in this thread) or so irrelevant to the cause as to not even be worth mentioning (e.g. Zack Polanski when he celebrated the 'goodies' previous acquittal for aggravated burglary).

Read the quote history..you know thats not what I was responding too

Then maybe read verifiable sources about what happened. 1st jury failed to convict, 2nd trial - defence was restricted. Kings Counsel being charged with contempt of court for raising concerns about restricted defence...an unheard of event. Judge is a former security services panel participant abd was CHANGED to him. Defendant convicted of a "without intent" offence. Key CCTV evidence is "missing"

What is produced in this facility is used for war crimes and advertised as "battle tested " against a caged civilian population.

It's dystopian, but yes one disputed injury that was shown to the jury via the MRI images by the defence...not a spine completely fractured but a fracture in a bone in the back...sledgehammers had been used against the saboteurs. 2 completely cleared...why?

It's not simple ...no matter how much literal darker forces want to use these events. If you care about 1 woman why not the thousands of others blown apart?

Another story with nutcase lefty activists. They need mental health help

Are you seriously trying to convince people that a fractured spine should only be called that if every single bone in the spine is fractured? How many bones in a leg would have to be fractured for you to be calling it a fractured leg?

Absolute insanity. You clearly don't understand what a fracture is, and on top of that you have lost all semblance of moral clarity.

Saying the woman's spine was fractured is completely accurate, even though you're trying to pretend it isn't. It's not some kind of trick or word play. Her spine was fractured by a violent thug with a sledgehammer. Those are the facts. If you are ok with armed idiots violently breaking and entering and then also using their weapons against the police then you have some serious thinking to do. Are you really as morally superior as you seem to think you are?

I agree.

Tommy Robinson's lot or Palestine Action. Doesn't matter who attacked a policewoman (it was a cowardly Palestine action thug), they deserve prison. Was wah was, but Palestine shouldn't wash. Too many defenders of this thug because 'Palestine' all as bad as him, defenders of violence.

Its crazy the thought processes used defending a thug because 'Palestine'. The hatred on our streets towards innocent Jewish people and innocent security guards, who were whipped and innocent policewoman with a fractured spine by defenders of thugs because 'Palestine' shows they have really lost the plot.

Hmm, selective outrage…you mean like how everyone has jumped on the Palestine bandwagon but said virtually nothing about the oppression of the Iranians by the Islamic regime? Or about any other conflict?

Yes, selective outrage indeed.

The poster didn't say she didn't care about people killed during the conflict in Palestine though. You ASSUME that she doesn't care. Its quite possible she cares about both. This thread is about a violent man who thought it was ok to twice hit a woman with a sledgehammer and has been found guilty of GBH without intent.

What on earth are you on about 'darker forces'.

"It's not simple ...no matter how much literal darker forces want to use these events. If you care about 1 woman why not the thousands of others blown apart?"

Do you always make assumptions about others.

Fractures vary. ..I should know I was in hospital with one for 4 months.

Fractured spine is used to imply paralysis...by people wanting to manipulate this situation. Which is why the defence were permitted to show the true situation / MRI with explanation

If you've really looked into this trial you'd know that

Caring about a genocide isnt a bandwagon.

When the Iranian's were threatened with the end of their civilisation the outrage was front and centre in MSM and in pro Palestinians groups, as is Congo, Lebanon and Syria

Nothing to see then, it was 'only' a bit of a partial fracture (fracture being a partial or complete break in bone). What is all the fuss about eh?

The minimising to defend the cowardly scrote is a reflection on you. 👏

FOR INFORMATION on policewoman and injury:

Return to Work: Following her three-month absence, she returned to work on restricted duties due to the ongoing impact of the injury.

Long-term Effects: As of May 2026, it was reported she still experiences back pain more than 20 months after the attack. (20 months later)

How do you feel about the innocent policewoman? Any sympathy for her injuries?

No, a fractured spine means there's a fracture somewhere in the spine.

If someone told me they had a fractured spine, I would assume there is a fracture somewhere in one of the vertebrae. At no point would I assume that meant they were paralysed?! That would be an insane immediate conclusion to jump to. Just like when my child fractured their arm, people didn't assume that meant it was completely broken and needed surgery. They assumed he had a fracture in a bone in his arm.

Of course, a fractured spine could mean someone was paralysed. That just wouldn't be a normal initial assumption to make. Specially if no one at any point has made any kind of reference to the person being paralysed.

Calling it a genocide very much is a bandwagon though.

Has anyone checked on the health of the poor lamb with the sledgehammer though? He may have got an injury to add to his righteous indignation and righteous violent assault!
N.B any hurty feelz or muscle pain for smashing someone’s spine will of course be so much much worse remember… because as @Anyahyacinth is keen to point out, it’s only a little fracture of the spinal cord…

Poor lamb, must be traumatised after hitting a woman and being questioned why.

"The court heard that when police arrived at the factory, 23-year-old Corner used his seven-pound sledgehammer to strike Sgt Evans twice on the back, leaving her with a fractured spine and fearing that she had been paralysed."

"Corner, a former linguistics and philosophy student at Oxford University, told his trial it “seemed reasonable to do something” after he heard one of his fellow activists screaming and believed they were being hurt by security guards."

His defence lawyer says hes a 'gentle' man. ( Deanna Heer KC, for the prosecution, told the court that Corner hit Evans in the back with a 7lb (3.2kg) sledgehammer – while she was on all fours facing away from him, attempting to arrest Rogers – fracturing the officer’s spine.)

"In his closing speech at Woolwich Crown Court, Tom Wainwright, defending, also described Corner as "an academic, an Oxford graduate, a mathematician, a linguist and a philosopher".

He said that Corner was "clearly very intelligent, but also noticeably someone that excels in branches of subjects concerned with the theoretical, not the practical, translating languages, not using them in public to communicate"."

So clever but thick. Gentle but uses violence. Perhaps easily manipulated then?
