Rumour Rhys Palmer - Gloucester Park Shoe Bandit

[Frank Gallagher]

Horses ware shoes too.

It actually is potentially covered by two sections in the WA criminal code.

74B. Causing fear or alarm to driver of conveyance or others
(2) A person who, without lawful excuse —

(a) causes an object or substance to be directed at or near, or to be placed in or near the path of, a conveyance that a person is driving;

in circumstances that are likely to cause fear or alarm to any person commits a crime and is liable to imprisonment for 7 years.

304. Act or omission causing bodily harm or danger
(1) If a person omits to do any act that it is the person’s duty to do, or unlawfully does any act, as a result of which —

(a) bodily harm is caused to any person; or

(b) the life, health or safety of any person is or is likely to be endangered,

the person is guilty of a crime and is liable to imprisonment for 7 years.

Whether or not he is charged it is an absolute **** knuckle thing to do- horses spook easy and are travelling at speeds where theres a very good chance of death or serious injury if they suddenly shy away.

No need to get fancy, could easily charge him with attempted assault by weapon or throw missile. Could even go for the catch all reckless endangerment.

Perfect.

Police reported he was upset at a losing bet he thought was a shoe in. Palmer admitted afterwards that he was solely responsible, even though witnesses reported a second person egging him on with the words "just do it". Track stewards booted Palmer off of the course immediately after.

Underrated.

The only thing funnier than a Hawthorn supporter sooking about how Cyril was ripped off in the rising star because stats is a Hawthorn supporter sooking about how Burton should've won the rising star because stats.

An eventful weekend for Palmer.

Not good

 

[Blackhawk42]

I'm pretty sure Hawthorn fans are more upset about the Rising Star than Rioli ever was.

We were way more pissed about 2017's award but then something happened in the trade period last season and many suddenly forgot about it.

Being traded will rob a player of his talent more surely and swiftly than any injury

Apparently Rhys has just been involved in a motor bike prang. In hospital with serious injuries>

I just read that as well. Probably deserves its own thread outside of the rumour and scandal forum. Very sad news, I hope he recovers.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Shocking news. Spleen removed and in induced coma in intensive care. Apparently not at fault in a motorbike accident.

All the best.

 

[onebillsdrive]

Sad news......and I'm not going to say the obvious line

 

[Upgrayedd]

Apparently car didnt see him. Merged into him. Also he had a passenger

Hope shes ok and by the sounds of it i hope he recovers. To have your spleen removed is pretty serious and a lifetime issue for him now

Hope he pulls through

 

[GlocksTickin]

God bless him. Poor fella.

 

[Achilles Heel]

Maybe this thread needs to be closed

 

[Anja_Nees]

Bizarre 24 hours for him. Obviously hope he recovers.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Hope he recovers. Hasn't been a great news week.

Posted by Rhys’ half-sister - it is looking very very grim

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

Mods - change the title please.

This really doesn’t sound like he will survive.

 

[Zoom]

Devastating news. Can’t help but fear the worst.

 

[Jimmy Willis Jawline]

I knew a bloke who had a bad stack on a bike and was in a coma for a few days. Came out of it okay except for some migraines which popped up now and again. He wasn't as young or as fit as Rhys when it happened, so hopefully it will be a great outcome this time round. We all like to throw poo and have a laugh in this forum, but I don't think anyone finds this situation funny.

 

[sirlothie]

I'm amazed he found himself in two separate incidences so close to each other entirely unrelated. I really hope he is ok though.
