    It’s what I’d expect if I got my cock out around children. Although phoning the police and restraining the pervert until they arrive would have been a better option legally.

    Good. That pervert will surely think twice next time.

    I hope the children are okay, and the dad doesn’t face any consequences.

  3. For the police woman at Manchester airport complaining that no one stepped in or helped out, this is why. 

  4. Shouldn’t the headline read “Man takes reasonable action to prevent crime”?

    The primary role of men in all societies throughout history has been to eliminate bad men.

    “An 18-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years, was handed down to Gathercole. He was also mandated to complete 15 days of Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.”

    Bit harsh, I’m sure a good telling off would have been better.

    The judge didn’t have much to say about the man who exposed himself in front of children…

    Welcome to the UK:

    Pedo: taken to the hospital, paid for by taxpayer

    Hero dad : “An 18-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years, was handed down to Gathercole. He was also mandated to complete 15 days of Rehabilitation Activity Requirement.”

  9. Give this guy a medal. This is how Wayne Couzens started out and look what happened.

    So the man who punched the nonce gets 18m suspended sentence, and the nonce gets his name and identity hidden to protect him. 

    Sounds about right.

    Give the guy a medal and cash reward. If the police can’t protect our kids from perverts then we have to.

    The man who was exposing himself to children isn’t named in the article, i see.

    Curious.

  13. Really burying the lede with that title whereby the police ended up arresting the father who punched the bloke who had his cock out, stayed with the nonce until an ambulance arrived and then went to the police station about it because he felt bad and was awarded an 18 month suspended prison sentence for it.

    From the police, the CPS and the judge. This countries legal system is abhorrent.

  14. I’m so angry with our justice system. People who abide by the rules, and try and keep society decent are hauled over the coals. Why the fuck does he have a suspended sentence, he should’ve been rewarded. The state is only allowed a monopoly on violence and law if it actually enforces it, but it doesn’t. It’s a sick joke. 

  15. I’m sad that he got time for it tbh if any time punching a guy was justified.

    Just shows you be careful punching people they can get severe injuries. Don’t waste your life because of some dickhead.

    A guy tried to sexually assault me at a taxi rank once and I nearly got done for gbh 😭. Thank god for cctv. Maybe he was embarassed by being hospitalised by a teenage girl because he decided not to press charges.

  16. A worrying number of people want to rip up the social contract and go back to some form of lawless vigilantism.
