Violent Scumbag Hammer Attack Yobs Make Good Troll Click-Bait...

Masked and armed teens chased a 16-year-old down Chattingham High Street, blocked his escape and then hit him with a hammer as he cowered in a shop doorway.

CCTV cameras caught the horrific moment Ed Bystander tripped and fell as he was trying to escape the gang in Grott Street, Chattingham.

Violent Chattingham yobs caught on CCTV

Jurors heard that as he lay unconscious in a shop doorway, one of them then struck him twice with a hammer.

Two of the mob who chased him on 13th March, 2020 were just 15 years old. One was brandishing the hammer, the other had a metal pole.

Five years after the attack, Beezelbub Smith and James Barklay have finally been brought before Midway Crown Court accused of grievous bodily harm.

Smith, of Attila Avenue, Chattingham, was 16 at the time, and Barklay, of Putin Place, Stroochester, was 17.

Opening the case, prosecutor Sir St. John Grebe-Streebling told the jury that Mr. Bystander and his girlfriend were walking along Grott Street, Chattingham when they were confronted by a group of youths that had previously been seen loitering outside a nearby supermarket.

Beezlebub Smith: GBH

"There was no motive or plan. Mr. Bystander was randomly attacked by a cowardly mob, purely as entertainment," said Sir St. John Grebe-Streebling.

The boy fled but was chased by Smith and Barklay who were wielding the hammer and pole respectively.

One of the other gang members was even filming the unfolding incident, "doubtless for gratification", added Sir St. John Grebe-Streebling, and aggressively gesturing "come on" as he did so.

Mr. Bystander was finally cornered in a shop doorway by the six young thugs, who punched him to the ground in front of his terrified girlfriend.

"CCTV footage shows it was then that Ed was struck by Smith twice with a hammer," said Sir St. John Grebe-Streebling

"Mr. Bystander was by now unconscious and the gang then panicked and ran away. Not one of them attempted to assist Ed as he lay there. They left him for dead."

The teenager suffered severe bruising and multiple fractures to his limbs, a broken jaw and fractured skull, along with fractures to his right arm.  After several operations the jury was told the now 19-year-old still has nerve damage and may never fully recover. Further surgery may also be required.

“It is only by the grace of God that we are not participating in a murder trial,” said Sir St. John Grebe-Streebling.

The jury were told that the victim had undergone several operations and that the now 19-year-old still has poor nerve function and may never fully recover. Further surgery may also be required.

James Barklay: "it wasn't me mate..."

Following their arrests, Smith said the attack was “just for a larf”, while Barklay said that “it wasn’ me mate it woz wun of the uvvers”.

He added, however, that on seeing the teen unconscious on the ground, he thought “blimey we’ve killed ‘im, let’s scarper.”

Sir St. John Grebe-Streebling said that the prosecution case was that “the defendants set out to cause really serious harm to a randomly selected victim and perhaps even kill, all just for fun”.

Sarah Golightly, barrister for the defence, stated that both defendants were truly sorry for their actions, despite having previous convictions for random, violent assaults.

“ADHD……abusive childhood…..deprived upbringing….drug problems…..behavioural issues……mitigating circumstances blah blah”, said Ms. Golightly, reading from a list of standard excuses.

Asked by his barrister how he felt about the incident, Smith said, “I don’t care ‘cos he ain’t me.”

“He ‘ad a pretty girlfriend an’ a nice phone an’ we were jealous, like, so I fort me an’ the lads would giv’ ‘im a kickin’, like, for bein’ a smug barsted,” before adding (at the prompt of his barrister) "er, yeah, I feel bad."

Smith and Barklay each denied causing GBH with intent as well as the alternative offence of causing GBH.

Barklay also denied violent disorder, an offence Smith had admitted.

Giving evidence, both maintained they had never intended any harm to be caused to Mr. Bystander that day, despite having weapons and beating him unconscious.

Asked why they had not helped their stricken victim as he lay unconscious in the shop doorway or sought assistance for him, Smith told the court “we fort we’d killed ‘im, so all we wanted to do was run away quick, like”

"We woz only havin’ a larf, like, y’know?” Barklay added.

Judge Maud Brobat-Bollard sentenced both Smith and Barklay to a 20-month youth rehabilitation order, a four-month tagged curfew and also ordered them to carry out 270 hours of unpaid work.

“In an ideal world I would sentence you both to ten years in prison without remission,” said the Judge.

“Unfortunately, Home Office sentencing guidelines currently prevent me from sending any violent offenders to prison because the jails are all full of Just Stop Oil protesters.”

“I fully expect to see both of you in this court again before long…”

In the real world, the trolls have decided to politicise a nasty story of psychopathic behaviour, thus illustrating their own psychoses. In amongst the usual nut-job “hang ‘em high/deport” comments is the provocative and often personal abuse used by the right-wing trolls – and all tolerated by the host in breach of its own comments guidelines. 
A mild form of stochastic terrorism…?

“Deranged lefties?” I presume by that you mean ‘anyone who does not share your political views’. And what you most likely want to say is the usual twisted right-wing supremacist rubbish that takes incidents like this and politicises them. You usually have no such qualms.

They have to believe (or pretend to believe) certain things about moderate voices of any sort in order to justify their right wing extremism.

Neil Barse replied:
You are correct about moderate voices Grey Mondeo Man. However you, as everyone knows, are a Far Left hateful anti British antagonistic europhile who's always jumping on the “It's all the fault of the Far Right” bandwagon, as is anyone who disagrees with us.

Chad Grindr replied:
You are absolutely right as ever, Neil. Lol, there is nothing wrong with genuine moderate left wing opinions, because they are too civilised and can easily be shouted down and cowed into silence.
It's those who argue against us, and are therefore far-left extremists, that are the problem.

The Sentencing Guidelines are created independently from government - you know, how a free society is supposed to operate. The new Labo*r government has expressed displeasure at them, but they do not directly control them.
To suggest otherwise is disingenuous.

The guidelines considered under the Tories and agreed by the previous Conservative government?

Chad Grindr replied:
They are currently being implemented by Labo*r. The Tories are not in government and so it is obvious that everything must now be the fault of Labo*r, but nice desperate attempt at whataboutery.
Please stick to facts and telling the truth rather than clinging onto whataboutery about other political parties not even in government all the time.
Thank you.

Grey Mondeo Man replied:
You seem to be dismissing 14 years of the disastrous former Tory administration as “all Labo*r’s fault”, and then accuse me of “whataboutery” when I suggest that there are such things as legacy issues. A curious way to express yourself.

We shouldn’t bother with the expense of trials. The vile cretins in this armed gang should just be put in the stocks or better still - used for euthanasia trials! These sick gang members mentality is ruining our society, their fragrant disregard for the law is clear & they should be locked away for life - never to see the light of day again if I had my way!

Neil Barse replied:
Oh no, we can't possibly do that. Far better to keep the deranged lefties happy and treat them with kid gloves, a gentle slap on the wrist will suffice and then spend thousands upon thousands on rehab and psychological support to turn their life of criminality around. Bless their cotton socks, their parents must be oh so proud of their little darlings.

We don’t need woke lefty courts and criminal justice!!! Those thugs were all guilty and shouldn't see day light again! They are the worst of the worst and should have all be found guilty of attempted murder. They have been dragged up with no morals, their family's should be ashamed and their parents have birthed such demons but looking at their actions! They're probably just as bad and should be jailed as well!

Where in the report does it say that the defendants were “forren illegal immigrant criminals”?  With surnames like “Smith” and “Barklay” they don’t sound like “forren illegal immigrant criminals” to me. Or are you suggesting that all crimes are committed by “forren illegal immigrants”?
