Forums Forums Lost & Found WARNING!!! Someone pulled a knife on me in Upton

I know, but you do hear case's were people have acted in situations like this and ended up coming off far worse than the attacker

Or protecting things like their own lives, family and property...but end up the ones being prosecuted, such as the case with the Farmer a few years ago.


I was in Upton last night with some mates. No gangs hanging round that we saw, so hopefully it was a one off case, and not a Sean mercer CopyCat pratt.


Also, you can tell the mentality of the lad who pulled the knife, knowing theres a police station literally round the corner !!

he got done becasue the guy was running away from him..and he shot him in the back...his life wasnt exactly being threatened....

thats why he got done!

ill think ull find that we have leant far more to the victims side in cases like this in recent years..and will continue to do so

I think 'flooring it' would be classed as excessive force, as he bounces off your bonnet and over the car. Go forward normally, giving him every chance to get away, if they still don't move, then you have no option but to push them away with your car

If someone was weilding a knife at me, Id want out of there asap

Excessive would be a consious decision to reverese back over him and finish the job

i have to go with stu on this one...its the reversing that makes it excessive!!!!

the siuation im thinkin of whereby a police officer believed the male had a knife...and then mounted the kerb and ran him over in order to apprehend him....is what im referrring to as reasonable force used...

On a more serious note, and I think It may have already been mentioned - does Upton Maccys drive through not have CCTV

I remember very well when there was around 5 cw members in upton maccies parked up by the bypass and a gang of around 6 lads appeared from out of the bushes and smashed pingu's escort to pieces, be careful in that car park, although its shelter etc etc, there are alot of chav ... knockin round.

the cctv is very limited and only pretty much on the cashiers and just past them.....very much doubt its been upgraded

and cctv doesnt stop u getting attacked..hence why they hide their faces...very difficult to ID them..even with cctv unless you can see their face

I LIKEEE Audits description of "reasonable force"!!
Best to run over him first.... THEN... drive round the drive-in again and run over him again!!! Only one direction, difficult to prove you did it twice!!

sorry to hear it. whoever said you can tell the mentallity of the lad with the police around the corner hit the nail on the head.

glad you didn't confront him just incase it turned out even worse than it already was. best thing to do is get away if something like that happens.

Want to see "Hoodies Face" then get one of those million candlepower torches from Aldi. It will light up his face so you can use your mobile to happy slap the event. It should blind him/her for long enough.

Yer yer, like we all have them at hand

Your obviously going soft in your old age Sanchez, you shouldn't hold back so much ...
