      This country is so broken, its a constant of stories where victims and their families are not just failed, but disserviced by our police and justice system. Where is the justice in todays Britain?

      Not inciting violence. Not expressing bigotry or racism. Just hurt the feelings of a murderer. Once again the criminal is the victim.

      I don’t like it either, but the father threatened to kill the murderer and his brother. Law is the law and I’d rather live in a place where it’s upheld non-selectively.

      Also, the daily mail want you riled up.

    4. You have two options if you read the headline (or possibly the article, I haven’t checked):

      1. assume that the judge or magistrates that decided this are crazily incompetent or evil and cynically smirk to yourself that the country’s gone to the dogs and you are much smarter than everyone involved in this decision

      or

      2. Realise it’s the daily mail and maybe assume that PERHAPS there’s another angle that they aren’t presenting where this makes a bit more sense, cause this is literally what they do every single day.

      I don’t know which is true. But I do know I’m not giving the mail any clicks. I strongly urge you all to do the same – just downvote and move on.

      Step-dad threatened to kill the murderer and his brothers and got a £50 fine for it. Nothing unfair about that, quite the opposite tbh. Clickbait headline and clickbait title by OP for not rectifying it.

      Pregnancy is when domestic violence is most likely to start .

      Thats partly why US abortion bans have increased DV by 7 to 10 %

    7. Like, I get why he was charged but also this is in the context of the polic de-facto legalising theft and assault. How can this be a good use of police time when they apparently cannot fulfill their most basic functions.

      A cynic might say, its because sitting on your fat pig ass shoveling donuts into your face is easier to do sitting on your computer than out on the street…

      Good you can’t harass people and their family with death threats, no matter how in the right you feel you are

      Human emotions and expressions are crimes.

      Killing is protected by human rights.

      Saying this is wrong is mistaken double plus.

      We were warned.

    10. “Mr Jones sent a message to Blakeley’s brother Christopher threatening to kill Ben and his brother Jake…(cont)”

      I can send death threats for £50?!

      It’s payday on Thursday I’m gonna start going through my Instagram

    11. Genuine question: Is wishing someone dead an offense.under UK law?

      I did not think it was and am still certain it is not.

      Leaving out the part where he threatenes to murder the brother after he was *suspected* of lying to police are we? Or that being hauled to court could have easily been avoided had he just paid his £50 fine for threatening (in the eyes of the law) a random civilian?

      Completely in the public interest of course. Cant have hurty words out there. Whatever next.
