“You are likely to hold Simon Richardson in contempt. That contempt may well manifest itself in a loathing of Simon Richardson and, in fairness, you are probably right to."

Horrifying

Oh, so it’s not so much that justice is being served as the Robin Thicke principle being enacted? That is to say that the defendant is such a major dick, he’d get a life sentence for first offense shoplifting.
There’s being a dickhead in everything you do in life, and then there’s this.
There is a fucking gulf between being an utter bellend and mounting a grass verge to try and scrape a person off the underside of your vehicle that you’ve dragged for a mile because they’re wrapped round part of the suspension, this after you’ve watched them hit your windscreen and go under the car, and listened to them moan and scream for that mile.
This is antisocial personality disorder gruesomely demonstrated to it’s basest level. This is psychologically fundamentally fucking broken in a way we have no idea how to fix.

What a horrendous way to die
