      “Prosecutor Tom Heslop said Bravery is monitored by three members of staff “24 hours a day, seven days a week” and is kept in a room with only a mattress in it”

      Sounds expensive!

      Edit: I just looked at how much per patient per year in Broadmoor:

      ” The estimated annual cost to look after a patient at Broadmoor Hospital is around £325,000″

      4 years takes it well over a million pounds!

      honestly we shouldn’t even know who is in broadmoor, or who’s in any psychiatric unit. that’s not for the public to know.

      it’s not a prison, it’s a hospital. they are not inmates, they are patients.

      like it or not, criminals need healthcare too. although, many broadmoor patients aren’t even criminals (section 3s). a lot do come from prison, however, but that’s not the criteria.

      having worked on a medium-secure forensic unit, i have no idea how leaks like this come out in the press. it makes me worried about patient safety.

      I’m amazed you can be done for assault when you’re already in Broadmoor.
      Still, one of the nurses still came across with a caring attitude when giving evidence.

      I’m not often a “hang em” type person but this guy with his absolute insane cruelty for kicks gets that reaction for me. He tried to kill a child by throwing him off a building for no reason other than entertainment.

      Just strap the cunt down and drip feed him for the rest of his life.

      He serves no purpose to society, and short of getting rid of him entirely that’s the next best solution.

      I used to be in a psychiatric hospital with Jonty on 2016 when we were teenagers(Priory in Manchester). I can hand on heart say he did not have the signs he was capable of something like this. He used to have full normal conversations, he didnt come across as some aggressive humonclous. Of course he had issues no denying that.

      I remember when his initial news came out I was so shocked

      >The court was told staff tried to restrain Bravery after he tried to climb a ledge to throw himself from it.

      Only way I would be intervening is if this ledge was less than 3 storeys up.

      So I haven’t been following this too much, is he, what’s the phrase, a sandwich short of a picnic?

      Basically, is he mentally slow/”neuro divergent”.

      No information on ethnicity in this one. Hmmm. How am I supposed to know which culture to declare evil for this?

      Perhaps men who might be physically violent should be supervised by men physically larger and stronger. Is this not….the commonest of sense?

      Looks like one of the Oddbod creatures from Carry On Screaming.

      Deserves a lethal injection…

      It’s very, very hard to know how to deal with such people. Thankfully not my job, but peripherally.

      I once acted in passing for someone with a string of relatively minor offences. His mum came to court in her post office fear. If her five children, he was the only one not in a profession. She had no idea why. She always came to court for him.

      This is so much worse. Maybe at some point even the most loyal parents give up.

      I remember being horrified by the original attack on the little boy and contributed to the GoFundMe for the boy. His parents are amazing. I didn’t want his parents to think badly of the UK.
