A man explains how he ‘defended himself’ from a bolting Police horse:

Well I watched the news footage of this incident and I don’t believe him.
I’m not concerned for the horse because I don’t think he can possibly have hurt it but does this man really think that his version of events is plausible; how stupid does he think we are?
Right I’m off to the dentist now to get a filling done and on the way I’m popping into my local sub Post Office…
…to see how much the postage would be on this sawn-off shotgun!

“The 45-year-old unemployed factory manager said he panicked and did not intend to injure the animal.”
Unemployed? that would be Maggie’s fault then.
Lock him up(declairing an interest as an ex horse owner)

Very well rehearsed, and quite plausible, until you watch the video footage, and see him aim his punches past the horse and at the rider. There will be some “angel” willing to stand his bail, or a “no win, no fee” solicitor, with his eye on future business.

It looked almost pre meditated to me. Why did he feel the need to stand in it’s way and throw at least 2 punches.
Questions
1,Unemployed -where’s the money coming from to pay for his jaunt ?
2,I wonder who will pay his court costs etc if he has no money –oh i wonder.

Liar, Why didn’t he just move out of the way of the horse?. Hope he gets what he deserves.
Warren, I am rather concerned re the sawn off shotgun, make sure it’s no shorter than 24″ otherwise, you will be in deep doo doo.(Green man smiley WOULD have been inserted here!!)
