Christ on a bike, the world's gone loopy, how can anyone imagine this is worth £13k compo?

[R1Geezer]

it was not a criminal case helen. Thieving scum man lauched a civil case, no doubt using legal aid and nice judge awarded compo. This is wrong on so many levels.

Furvent? Cat flap maybe.

[redcrx]

i dont see why the equivalent of a "caution" couldnt be given. The employer shouldnt have done that, though can understand why he did, but why the hell does the thief deserve compensation.

[mickrog]

I do not condone the theft, but first thing that came to mind, when seeing how the culprit was marched along the street with the sign aroung his neck,was where was this? Hitlers Nazi Germany?.No its the U.K. We fought against such treatment no matter what.

[R1Geezer]

so if you hate theives and deal with them you are a "d1ck" and "pompous" care to explain that triggerdippy?

[youngmafbog]

Its ludicrous and sums up all that is wrong with this country. So imprisoning is taking someone to the old bill then.

The law is an Ass, as is many who administer it.

Hope the Judge gets robbed by this piece of scum

I don't think he was a d1ck, one of his employees, had stolen from him, and he wasn't to make a show of him. Yeah it was a bit much and he should have been told off but what get's me is the amount.. like I put on the other post about the girl who'd been attacked, a kid get's fined £200 for throwing a brick through a car window, this fella gets fined £13k for goinga bit far in taking the law into his own hands. Maybe he'd have been charged less if he'd given the fella the kicking he deserved. It just doesn't balance!

"innocent until proven guilty, you march someone throw their home town wearing a sign like that before judgement is passed = dick"

So, I see someone raping a child; I stop him, put a sign round his neck and march him to the local nick. Because he hasn't yet been tried and found guilty of the offence I'm a dick?

I'm not a leftie but I think the actions taken were too much. The thief lost his job, presumably, and now has a criminal record, the punishment fits the crime. What his employer did was bullying and I dont like bullies just the same as I dont like thieves, but I do think the compensation amount is OTT but then we do live in a compensation culture society

So he got a posse together bundled the bloke into the back of a van, phoned a local paper rather than the police and then instead of taking the bloke straight to the police station stopped off on the way to parade him through the streets like something out of the middle ages.

Don't necessarilly agree with the compo ( but it was settled out court so we'd never know if the case would have been successful) but do you seriously think this was an acceptable way to deal with the situation?
