Harsh words from the bitter sex tourist
Is the any need for that? Slander surely. I’ve reported youHarsh words from the bitter sex tourist
Spoke to a mate who knows about the law..... reckons the police are likely trying for 'violent disorder'.
Set of wankers, wouldn't even be a charge if it wasn't a celebrity. So much for judging evyerything on merit.
Either way, the bastards want to make an announcement .
Fuck me, all sorts of accusations there, which is just pure guess work and your part how do you know there would not be a charge if not celebrity.
How are they a set of wankers for simply doing their job?
Bastards what for?
It happens all the time. You know it, I know it and everyone else on this board knows it - if this is Terry, a Bristolian joiner, all he'll get is a caution or at worst a fine for a public order offence.
Cause it's high profile, they have to 'make an example' which once again, as we all know, is f***ing bobbins because when John, the welder from Leeds does the same the next week, the punishment is in no way representative.
Wankers and bastards? Because most of them are. I've worked alongside enough of them to know that.
I don't agree and even if I did making a example of somebody is a good thing.
As it shows two things one nobody is above the law, and two if it means it discourages people from reacting that way that is good,
Because the bigger picture is actions like that can't be seen to be condoned.
If a sportsman gets a harsh punishment like Johnson did, if that makes people think twice doing that crime, that is miles more important than the harsh punishment.
That is miles more important than game of cricket!
No, it really doesn't make people think twice. It's actually very wrong morally and it's not even what the law is intended for. Of course it isn't against the law, but the law and sentencing guidelines will tell you that the only thing that should be taken into account is previous offences.
The only time fame and/or wealth should be considered is when determining fines.
Making an example is a very dangerous thing. No way should one individual be punished for the misdemeanours of others, either past or future. It's f***ing barmy to think that's the right thing to do.
The most important thing above all is to try and prevent a crime (any crime) from happening again.
And if that means somebody is harshly sentenced or punished, to try and achieve that objective, I could not care less.
Changing the subject totally ,what gets me about this whole thread, is from reading previous posts from certain people on this thread, I am convinced that if it was a Kohli or a Warner, the same people ,the exact same people who are defending Stokes would want the book thrown at Kohli or Warner.
No, that's not what the law is about. Not even remotely.
And hold on a minute. You've just said you think that Ben Stokes should be held to a higher standard than a regular member of the public, and now you're making up a (completely hypothetical and baseless) straw man about other people treating famous people differently.
Hypocritical much?

It’s horrendous yes. Did you smash the bloke around? No. You didn’t.I don't care if you are convinced, you are wrong.
I've seen someone get glassed before, and its absolutely f***ing horrendous, so he absolutely did the right thing. As would Warner.
The law should be equal for all.
The reality is that sentences are inconsistent.
The fact that sentences are inconsistent should not be a reason why Ben Stokes escapes for lamping someone who was backing away
The Harvey Price thing was crass and a bit embarrassing, but that’s it. But the video of him smacking someone was very poor. If it was James Vince, this board would not defend him. End of

Well I can't speak for anyone else, but I wouldn't. When it comes to the law and incidents within the law, I want an equal playing field for everyone, no matter who they are, based purely on the merits of the case.
Now schadenfreude, yes, I would definitely take a sort of pleasure from seeing Warner or Kohli in bother - but it wouldn't last long, because ultimately, it isn't really funny or pleasureable seeing anyone in bother.
As for the rest, steaky covered it, I tried to do it, but he worded it better - the law does not work in such a way where punishment for one is used as a tool to punish all.
Are you still in Hong Kong for work?Wish I had before he did it like stokes did
The lad needed plastic surgery and it ruined his life
You're 100% wrong
I would
Don't put words in my mouth
Are you still in Hong Kong for work?
Or was that bullshit?
You didn’t dive in.
Stokes didn’t dive in. He potentially intervened. And then when someone was backing off he beat the crap out of him
You wasting your time mate, I have tried, he simply can't see the difference between punching someone as a reaction in the heat of the moment and continuing to punch someone when somebody is backing off and even his own mates are trying and telling him to stop therefore going too far.
He simply can't see the clear difference, even though it has been pointed out to him by several posters, even though he has been suspended from the team for it, even though his sponsors have dropped him for it.

I never said was what the law was about at all, I also never said Stokes should be held to a higher standard at all
It was another poster who actually said he would be made a example of
What I said was if he happens to be made a example of, and that prevents further actions simliar to his, I believe looking at the bigger picture that would be a good thing.
As for my other point admittedly it is just based on my opinion based off reading extensive posts from the people who I am referring too, who in the past change their views and principles purely dependant on the individual or team they happen to be talking about at the time.
Pointed out by several posters? Half the posters agree with me.
Again with your superiority complex,it doesn't make your opinion f***ing right. Sort it out man ffs, its your opinion, it doesn't make you right!!! How many times do you need bloody telling.
This post makes absolutely no sense, are you on your medication again? Hong Kong for work, what the fuck has that got to do with Ben Stokes? What a strange man, you can't help get personal can you just because I don't agree with you.
I just don't get why you guys can't accept that other people have a different opinion to yourself, I am not asking you to change your mind, or criticising your view, you can't help keeping this thread going. Get over it ffs.
Half the people on this message board don't agree with your view. That is probably the same in the wider public judging by what I have seen on twitter. Accept it and move on!! Leave the personal shit out of it.
