A drugged up burglar broke both his ankles when he jumped out of a bedsit window with a stolen laptop.
Vasim Amin, 29 of Cauldon Road Shelton, wheeled himself into court on Thursday in his wheelchair and admitted burglary. Said he was court flat footed- no he didn’t- made that up, don’t think he’s got the brains to make a joke like that. Anyway he couldn’t say anything more could he, laying there both ankles shoot to ribbons with a stolen laptop by him.
You just could not make it up could you.
It seems that on May 8th Vasim took it upon himself to break into a bedsit on Collage Road, Shelton but was spotted by a neighbour, who blocked his escape, but Vasim, he’s that high,and in the words R Kelly he believes he can fly, and tosses himself out of the window. There’s a problem thought, he can’t fly, instead he smashes though a sky lite, lands on his feet but both his ankles have gone. There is good news though, the laptop, £500 worth, so its a good one, is in full working order, more that can be said for Visim’s legs. The police are called, and when they stop giggling, they charge Vasim, and cart him off to A&E, lets face it, he would not need and escort, whats he going do, run off, don’t think so…lol.
So, like I said, Vasim up before the court of Judge Paul Glenn, and its his third burglary offence, so its a ‘third strick’ case, it looks like the end of the line for his old games.
Jason Holts defending and he tells the court that because young Vasim is now wheelchair bound its a bit essayer to make him go to re-hab, they can push him there to make sure he goes, he didn’t say it like that thought. He is now off the hard stuff and on the Methadone, and good for him, might just help with the pain as well.
Judge Glenn asks for a few moments, to compose himself, then he rips into Vasim, telling him he’s got no sympathy what-so-ever. He tells him that the injuries are self- inflicted and that the offence in his mind was premeditated. He then gives Vasim 29 months, yes result.
I hope to god the jails got a ramp, ground floor cells and the toilets are wheelchair friendly.
Now compose yourself and pass comment.
Though genuinely feeling for the thief in that he broke his ankles, simply because that sounds so painful, does this mean he can he can live on benefits for the rest of his life?
Given that the latest figures show an increase in burglary, top marks to the Judge, both for his common sense and bravery for imposing such a sentence given the ethnicity of this serial criminal.
The problem with this case is i would put pound to penny that an appeal will over ride that sentance as it is somewhat extra ordinary for a judge to hand such a lengthy sentance down for such crime. Not that i am saying its wrong, but that the judicary have precidents on these matters.
Further, i am not condoning the little runts actions what so ever but does it not show the problems in society with dru taking which surely needs to be tackled one way or another.
I do hope the scrote reforms himself and cleans up from his drug addiction and forges a good profitable and legal life ahead, but at the same time i hope others who may wish to follow in his footsteps take heed ont he possible consequences such as this little miss fortunate has suffered.
David, I don’t think Vasim as a leg to stand on (and sertinly no ankles) in appeal, its his third burlary offence, wich merrets a far stiffer sentence. But I agree with you that drug missuse is far to common now, it blites this country, much crime is commited by these addicts and they sould be helped to understand that the use of any form of drug is not normal, and aganst the law. Strong treatment sould be used in jails to clean addicts like this boy wonder up, so that they might re-enter society without this problem.
Warren it tickles me how drugs and alcohol abuse amongts prision populations is apparantly rife…. just search he visitors and put a stopp to the smuggling.
Oh and i would take away the papers, the computers internet connections, Play Stations and all the other little perks….
Prison is for retribution and rehabilitiation nor relaxation!!!!
David, the visitors are searched – at least those not part of the ‘in crowd’ are.
Criminals control the jails, also the prison ‘Officers’, some of whom make a thousand pounds a month by allowing the traffic in drugs, mobile phones, alcohol etc, to continue.
This state of affairs will continue until we have a Government that has the will and guts to reverse the Pc creed that controls the thinking of the establishment.
Put the army in control of the jails… job done.
Pooter, it could be stoped, no two ways about it, and it would not need the army, just a good firm shake up of the prison system. David hear, he’s a Libdem, right, I’m a bit of a old Labour animal, yet both of us agree that the systems s**t and it sould be harded, stamping out anything that goes againt the system in a big way. Drag the b******s to jail, lock them up, stop them for takeing the f*****g drugs and make them know its more of the same, but only longer, if they f**k up again. If we have not got the jails, build more, hell, if they get it nice and surcure, they could build one at the bottom of my driveway. In the end they will be that sick of it, they would not think of putting a foot out of line.
I like the phrase ‘tough liberalism, hard democrat’ Warren….. and if Mark Oaten hadnt of slipped in to that Cheslsea top and shat on some one it may very well have ebcome main stream lib dem…. an opportunity lost there iam afraid.
David, you’re not the only one that felt kicked in the face by the corrupted libertine, self centred traitors to true Liberalism the likes of Oaten and Thorpe are/were – and rest assured there’s plenty more waiting in the wings to take their places while the Liberal Party continues to uphold that’ do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law’.
I for one hope Charles Kennedy has overcome his problem with alcohol and will once again take over the leadership of the Liberal Party with Vince Cable. Surely the most able and principled would-be Chancellor we’ve (this Country) has.
Sorry but F**k the ludicrous ‘LibDems’ and their pretty boy front kid. Climbing on the creaking, overloaded Bandwagon of trying to be all things to all men.
Warren, David, we and I’m sure so many others are in agreement on this bar the nit picking aspects.
There’s got to be something fundamentally wrong when we apparently can’t find any politician to support us.
Ps; my posts are now being censored so if this gets through it might turn up completely out of context – I have not been drinking! hic…
You had used a bad word pooter, Thor the database monkey never sleeps, he reads every comment……
THor the data base monkey????? Sounds frightening Mike!!!
