This story reminds me of Raoul Moat.

Ooo yeah! It’s just like Raoul Moat, striking similarities.

Should we send Gazza over with some lager, chicken and a fishing rod to lure him out?

He was still at school from my sketchy memory and thats why none of them got an custody, it ialso wasn't quite as dramtic as the paper makes out. it is funny how people are making out he is like scarface, he works for the local builder near me and his mum is quite nice so I doubt she would be part of any elaborate scheme.

Not quite the nice bloke you're making out...

I make it very, very clear that all eight of you have behaved disgracefully, in relation to the violent disorder but also intimidation of witnesses, supply of class A drugs and street robbery. You should all eight be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves but I am not at all convinced you are.

If that was my son I would disown him.

You should probabaly go and read up on the case from when it happened in 2021, huge gang fight an absolute throbber came off worse and the police made it sound like he was an innocent guy who was jumped, not everyone who was prosecuted was involved, more of a joint enterprise, not sure where drugs came from and only 1 lad was done for sending messages to the guys sister.

I've known some of the nicest, most genuine people that have done stupid things at 16 and then this is pistonheads and nobody is forgiven.

Not sure 'but there were loads of them, and the guy that got attacked is a bigger dick than the assailant' mitigates the whole attack-with-a-machete-thing, but I appreciate mileage varies.

Did you not see in 2021 just how thick people are? Walking around with masks, following arrows on the floor and panicking if someone got within 6ft of them in an air conditioned shop... Then standing 6ft apart with no masks on TV in again air conditioned studios?.

Yep there are people so thick that they are arguing against basic scientific principles.

And there are even thicker people who are still doing it 3 years later.

And right at the very top, are the people who are still whining on about it.

I'm going to Tenerife this week. I might disappear too, might be useful 😉

You can help with the search party!

I'm beginning to think it is more drug related than anything. Having spent a fair bit of time near the Mexican border it seems like people like Jay are slow learners. You may think you're a big fish when you're down at your local club - but if you cross the line and suddenly think you're the big man, guess again.

Take a cardy, as it can get a bit nippy up there.

Which part of Mexico is Tenerife in?

The outskirts?

Comparing Mexico to Tenerife is like comparing Bradford to Baghdad. It's utterly ridiculous.

What's more - even in Mexico cartels will go out of their way not to harm a tourist. And when it last happened the leaders of the cartel wrote a grovelling apology letter and handed over the fools who killed the two americans. There is a funny video of two American gay guys who got pulled over by a cartel after they got lost bird watching. The cartel members ended up having to calm them down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kcl9OPzLIU

Shall we just start the GoFundMe at 30K to save time?

Tourist

You're right on one thing - they don't go near tourists, the unwritten rule.

I was thinking exactly the same

I must be missing something but surely he'd have followed the road?

Indeed… Baghdad has its nice areas.

Maybe ring the police and ask if they’ve tried shouting his name.

Oi Bradford has some nice areas. In fact Ilkley (pays council tax to Bradford) was the Sunday Times' best place to live winner.

Going closer in to Bradford, Baildon and Saltaire are ok.
