Not sure how relevant that is. Being a bit of a knob does not mean you should be executed. Half of the country would be wiped out if that was the case

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Any nutter who shoots someone dead in cold blood should never be released into society again.

Aye, I've heard from people who were there that he leant over the fence and shot him again as he was writhing on the ground. I think that footage was shown to the jury but never released obviously.

2 in the chest and 1 in the head with a 445 webley, in modern day gun sizes that's nearly 12mm bullet

You can't just shoot someone in cold blood.

Aye thats exactly what I said, well done mate.





f***ing nipple.

 

[redandwhiterob]

Same unit marra?

Prison wing I would guess at what he means

 

[Pants]

I can't remember much of the details around the case now, but I seem to remember thinking that Dryden was in the right at the time. Until he killed the bloke, like.

On the one hand, you can't go around shooting people. On the other hand, council workers.

Not me marra, I am a good lad

Why the fuck would anyone stand in front of a bloke pointing a gun. Don't mind a game of poker mesel but that was the worst call of bluff i have ever seen.

Showed the blokes arrogance didn't deserve to get killed like

Nicknamed 'the savage stopper' by those out on colonial duty. Beast of a bullet. Can vividly remember watching that on the news and thinking, 'why isn't that gadgee running like fuck?!!!!'

 

[Mackem DJ]

The council had it in for him, tried to wreck his whole life on a technicality, turned up with excavators and a TV camera at his gaff and [as someone stated] were very smug about what they were going to do. This followed a long period where they were hounding the bloke, doing stuff that the council simply wouldnt get away with these days.

That of course didn't give Dryden the right to blow them away but 24 years man f***ing hell... Seriously!?

Hypothesis: He's still locked up with 4 parole applications turned down (24 years now) to set an example to us not to challenge 'authority'.

Absolutely nowt to do with.

I think his lack of remorse, may have something to do with it

Very Interesting

The copper that got shot up the arse had only been in the job for a couple of weeks. He used to work at my old place. Unlucky.

 

[Barboza dh9]

I understand that planning officer was considered a bit of a knob?

Still didn't deserve to be gunned down
