Gang jailed for beating up sex offender
Jarrow and Hebburn Gazette ^ | 10/30/10

THREE vigilante attackers who beat up a sex offender have been jailed.

Joseph Milton, who served a prison sentence for a sexual offence in his past, was jumped on from behind then kicked in the face and head as he made his way to his flat at Beach Road, South Shields.

After the assault, which left Mr Milton with bruising and scrapes to his arms, shoulders and torso, a bloodshot eye and a loose tooth, taunts and threats such as "rapist, we are going to burn you out" were shouted up at his window.

Mr Milton's partner Anne Pinkney was also injured in the attack. The couple have since moved away from their home.

Kevin Pritchard, who the court was told has a previous conviction for manslaughter, James Atkinson, who has served prison sentences for violence, and Kevin Scorer, who has one conviction for assault, all admitted assault causing bodily harm.

Pritchard and Atkinson also admitted common assault in relation to Ms Pinkney. ...

Thugs of all stripes have appropriated the psychic trauma theme actual sexual abuse victims have used to justify their own social deviance. It gives them a populist Robin Hoodish cloak to engage in mindless violence.

What the hell is it with our American society, that wé
only ascribe the formal and respectful address of “Mr.” to every scumbag in the news? There’s some weird psychological and inauthentic aspect at play, that I don’t understand.

What about the three scumbags who beat him up?- They obviously preyed on other people. One of their victims was killed.

While these are not Americans’ and thus not under the Constitution, there is the not insignificant issue that he served his time. Barring further sex offenses, to cheer brutal attacks is to crime.

Sorry, but your attitude is is need of realignment with the Constitution. Assuming, you either read or understood it, that it.

I don't think this was an American paper. British or Australian most likely.

Addendum to post #7. Should read, “...to cheer brutal attacks is support and cheer for crime.”

Sorry for the typo.

I suggest you learn to read and then show where sex offenders are special to anyone other than Rats and are provided protection! Mean while you are in the wrong place to be cheering for the deviates.

Speaking of pet peeves, and in support of thread jacking, How about when cops call every miscreant, drunk,or ax murderer a gentleman, in reports, public information release or testimony?

Yep. Constitution doesn't apply to them juice. ;^| Of course, if its provisions are arbitrarily denied to one, they can be denied to any. Threads like this just give FReepers an opportunity to show their true colours to the world.

Sadly, too many fail the test.

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

I agree. Or, how about "the gentlemen". THAT one drives me crazy. What's wrong with "the guy", or "that guy".

Yanking you back from your delusional rant, many child victims of sexual predators runaway and grow up on the streets, or drug themselves into a stupor to cope.

Thus, a high percentage of the victims of pedophiles wind up in the prison system.

The likelihood is that they were not pretending to identify with this mans victims - they honestly related. That doesn't make the thuggery okay, but drop the self righteous denial of law enforcement statistic, and come back down to reality.

This story needs more killing, followed by fewer criminals.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

They were born that way - some people are just genetically predisposed to stomping on perverts, creeps and pedophiles.

They need our patience and understanding, not punishment.

If you're advocating assaults on people who've committed crimes and done their time, you're the one who's in the wrong place - namely America. Or England. Or Australia. I believe there are some lawless parts of the world where you can indulge in this sort of behavior, though.
