One of those rare occasions where I hope Barker's friends gather enough of this type of information to pay them a visit...

Who knows maybe they can use the powers of google too...

[Crazyboy]

They would have found a place in a cell for Darren Barker if he'd had hit them back. Justice? No justice in this country whatsoever! All the shite are running rampant everywhere.

Unfortunately i couldn't agree more....can't believe how this country has gone down the pan.

Someone else mentioned they have no honour....jesus the list is endless, no honour, morals, respect...nothing...

I get pissed off just reading things like this.

Fair play Darren, hope you get back on track again

[maninthemiddle]

Put em in the stocks!!

Makes the Justice System look a joke dosen't it. If I pop down and smash just one of them, based on a fair ratio would I be Ok with a fine for around £50??? (Based on Barker getting an initial £500 for his injuries by up to 10 d***heads)

From all accounts Darren is a decent lad and well liked; I think those 3 will be a bit nervous with the winters dark nights and mornings.

[Old bones Ian]

Me and a mate went to local shop on Saturday evening, as we walked past a group of lads , one of them looked straight at us and said, here comes big cock and little cock, then went on to say he was going to have someone tonight.

So what do you do?

We walked back past them , to get another couple of comments. If we react and get involved in a fight , and if we win, i can garuntee they will go to the police and i would lose my jobs , or the other way is we react and get a kicking, there was about 7 of them.

[Bricks]

Cowards n all

A gang of them kick him unconscious and dont get a jail term?...

Disgrace

Welcome to Labour's judicial system.

exactly that ccunt blair as well as zoe ball, the spice girls and anyone else who was part of new labours "lad and ladette" culture of cheap binge drinking 24 hour pubs and lenient courts are all to blame. this kind of thing is ignored by and large by the police and courts. the fact a tough man like barker could be set upon by ten cowards who get let off and wont pay a penny of their fines ( their benefits will take care of it) tells u all you need to know about new labours legacy.l

[Bricks]

This is one thing the muslims have right. I read recently about a case where it was proven beyond any doubt whatsoever that a man and his friends had beaten into paralysis and a wheelchair a guy they hated evidently they stamped on the mans head even when he was laying motionless leaving him a vegetable for the rest of his life. The court in saudia arabia said the three should also be medically put in a wheelchair. Now thats an extreme example .but in this case an eye for an eye applies if these ten cowardss set on barker. How about they are put in medieval stocks and beaten on by barker for a while in recompense.

[Carbo]

What a disgrace. I really hate to sound like a Mail/Telegraph reader, but why-oh-why aren't we doing anything about this? I mean, ten blokes lay into one, kicking him repeatedly in the head while he's on the ground, completely re-arranging his teeth, concussing him, and risking killing him, paralysing him, brain damaging him, and God-knows what else, and they get ordered to pay five hundred quid compensation. Is that some kind of fcuked up legal joke that ordinary people aren't meant to get?

I mean, I ask you, what the hell is going on in Britain?

Thuggery and yobish behaviour is one of the biggest problems in Britain, and it's easy to see why when people walk away with sentences like this.

But nobody seems interested in doing a thing about it, so it'll go on, and probably get worse.

Well done Darren. Hope he's made a full recovery.

[hurlock]

i bet barker was laggin :!: id never let any pal of mine out number someone & to put the boot in loses respect in an instant these young men are scummy cowards & what goes around comes around.

[johnnygreaves]

I absolutely agree with carbo. In a perfect world the old bill would be well in within their rights to out these little penises in the back of the meetwagon and punch the little shits heads in.

I'm afraid you're quite right, mate. You just can't win.

I remember a few years ago, a couple of young uns ruined the end of a film for those surrounding them in the cinema. A bloke with his mrs complained to them and he got a load of swear words back. I walked towards them rather irritated and gave them a few hard words. They were towards the back of the cinema and would have struggled to get out - the main one's arse totally went and he immediately said 'I'll call the police'. What a little c*nt.

A massive factor in this is they ALL know they're rights. One young lass recently got pissed out of her head (aged about 14) and wouldn't come home. The dad went out and forced her to get in the car and took her home. She did him for assault. And the police follow it through! Further, they go all the way through school talking to teachers as if they're the sh1t off their shoe and, again, very little is done about it. It becomes normal behaviour for them.

And you know the worst thing? It really doesn't do them any good at all in any respect whatsoever...you can't win mate.

[berealman]

Shame Mr Joe Calzaghe wasn't there, apparently about 4 or 5 lads once set him about a few him and he knocked em all spark out lol

[greenyox3]

I usually get laughed at when i say this, but they should bring back National Service for kn*bheads like this. 12 months with Drill Sgt Hartman would teach the b*stards a little respect.

Just glad Barker was able to make a recovery.

yeah but they was all 10year olds

Brilliant, fair play to him.

Reminds me of the footballer Duncan Ferguson. Some silly sod tried to burgle his house, Big Dunc caught him and smashed him (and suffered a broken hand in the process). Then a few months later...some other silly sod tried it, and the same thing happened again!

One of my favourites is when some tit tried to burgle Billy Beaumont's house...he thought he'd be out because Question of Sport was on (it was when Big Billy was a team captain)

Brilliant Bill is a hard imposing man as well.

My mate did a bit of work on Duncan's house shortly after this incident. He obviously asked him what had happened. Dunc told him he was never going to 'use a feather duster' on the fella, given that his wife and child were asleep upstairs.

Apparently, the alternative to the feather duster was a bottle of Bollinger over the head, followed by a sustained hiding.

Big Dunc

Similar experience myself - and it's reason I no longer bother with the flicks.

I wouldnt bring back National service for these people, waste of time and money.

I would just put them on a boat, take them far out to sea and just chuck them overboard and sail back without them.

End of problem.

[Exoddus]

That's the problem. They hang around in big gangs. You never get 1 or 2 of them mouthing off. It's always like 5+ of them so you have no chance. If you do react they don't care because they'll give you a good kicking and nothing will happen to them anyway.

Now if Darren got 9 mates together and went around each of their houses and knocked out each one unconscious. He get a good 5 years.

[Andypittcov]

It's a right piss take but like someone said earlier what goes around comes around(karma),u can't behave like that and a have good life it's impossible,one day maybe years from now there'll all pay the price for that shit it's the way of the world they won't escape it.

That's the ticket.

Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.
