News Lewis Taylor charged over crime spree (and stealing a seatbelt buckle)

[blynd_freddie]

Already jaywalked twice this morning. Yes you could say I went on a crime rampage.

Don't know what could possibly go wrong...

Considering he has this over his head for the last 13 months he did alright last year.

But there are definitely double standards applied to sporting stars, if I was under that scrutiny I would of been in the papers many, many times in my late teens, early 20's and we didnt have smart phones back then! (Not that I destroyed anybodies property because that is a pet hate of mine.)

 

[Simbatheking21]

I can't say I ever committed $10,000 worth of damage when I was younger. Not everyone was a turd growing up.

Well maybe you were one of the few that didn't. I applaud you

Yeah I'm guessing me and 99% population haven't committed criminal damage to this level. We aren't talking about egging a house as a laugh.

Unless letterboxes go for about 500 each I'm well under

Mindless destruction and defacing of others people property just doesnt sit with me. I did however borrow a river ferry, but that is another story.

D*ckhead act by someone I would've expected more from. Still he's only 20, got a bit of growing up to do. Hopefully he'll learn from it. Everybody deserves a second chance.

Yoghurt.

Yes a must for every serious Donner Kebab throwing member here! I have noticed though, that the "Sour Cream Culture" are sneakly growing in numbers! Easy to spot though, as everything is seen as bitter..They are closely followed by the "Kombucha Crew" that have things down to a tea..and then we have the Quark Mob, nobody really understands what they're on about at all.. but we'll put up with them as they're always good for a source (sauce).The truth of this culture, being from Germany, Russian or in fact, just plain out Northern Europe backgrounds, they are extremely put out as they are not being included into the "Ayran culture".....Much to my hummus.

A story I want to read...

Haven't bothered with reading the first 8 1/2 pages, but I take it that Squizzy may have done done something bad?

Slept with Leppas wife, ran over Rockys dog and insulted Merretts beard.

Depends which post you read.
He could either receive a sainthood or be sentenced to death.

So where does this rank compared to:
(a) snapchat of self snorting coke;
(b) running red light and refusing breath test;
(c) microwaving pie until its really hot then giving it to Browny?

We've got a way to go to match the Americans. In the NFL, you're liable to find your team's star player has been arrested for organising dog fights, beating his wife or first degree murder.

ah perspective, forgotten or missed by so many on this thread. I would suggest somewhere between B and C, but definitely closer to B than C. The remarkable thing about the Yanks example you raise is despite being sacked by one club for an appalling crime, a player will immediately be picked up by another on a larger contract having 'learned his lesson'

What? His crime was so heinous that we are giving him away for free?

 

[Fatcat08]

While damahing property certainly is a serious matter im sirr hes received his punishment and has learnt a lot from this. Some people are being utterly ridiculous in their condemnation though.

At least he didn't endanger other peoples lives like all round good bloke Luke Hodge

 

[BuntonRules]

Jeez Leemas, I am so glad you are not my dad.

Hope he's made to pay for every cent of damage done. Not everyone is made of money and can afford to fix their possessions after morons decide to destroy them.

What a little idiot. Hope his senior teammates had a chat to him to impress that s**t like that is NOT on.

That is 100% exactly right! There are people in our community who are really struggling. People who have to make real choices about what bills they can and can't afford to pay and what they will have to go without to get by. A smashed windscreen for a family who is struggling to get by can be a disaster. Kids to get to school, work to get to etc etc etc. Taylor has behaved like a complete flog. I hope he made good for the destruction to each person who had their property damaged.

We need less of this at the Brisbane Lions.

 

[MacMum]

...the above young man, against all odds, has turned his life right around.

..and there wasn't a "each person" apparently......just some wrecking yard somewhere. Cars already wrecked, Lewie just made them a tad worse.

He wasn't going around smashing up cars in the streets wily nily..

Well, that is the story anyhow, no-one seems to know anything other than what we've been told.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Or the business who had vehicles damaged. Bottom line is that this was not a "victimless crime."

 

[iBeng]

Have they locked this dangerous lunatic up yet?
