Very close to me that, i believe they were acquitted of attempted murder and found guilty of violent disorder/affray

Horrible nasty violent attack on a lad with machetes and and axe

I was wondering why there wasn't a thread already going.

It does seem that his past is rather unpleasant and he got off rather light for the crime.

The bit that amused me on the BBC article this morning was the friend he phoned saying "He's a sensible lad" when he'd phoned her with 1% battery remaining, which doesn't seem like the actions of a sensible person letting their battery get that low to me. Seeing the second story posted in the original post on here I now have even less sympathy...

Unfortunately I suspect he has got lost and died of thirst in very unhospitable terrain.

He did ring up and say he was lost and thirsty with 1% battery.. frown

Poor bugger..

I wonder why he went off with two men he didn't know to a house in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't sound "sensible" to me.

It's odd that the media aren't reporting his past. A quick Reddit search tells a grim tale.

Bet the lad they set upon is leading the vigil for him, or laughing his cock off….

It's Jay, he's most probably at Tenerife's most exclusive porn studios as the new lead actor.

My thoughts exactly, but looks like we're not alone in a lack of sympathy

He's been to a rave then gone back to a session with some lads, a few days later when they've ran out of coke and or money, he realises he is wrong side of the island.

One would think he would have the sense to go to a bar or somewhere he can charge his phone and get help.

I'm trying to get my head round him going to jail for car theft (good result) and this lad and his mates not going to jail for nearly killing the car thief with machetes. I am all for rehabilitation, lots of people do stupid things when they are young but making a conscious decision to hit someone with a machete is getting pretty far down the road of no return, imo.

I was near to Masca last week, as I did a long hike around a nearby volcano. I was actually planning on walking from Masca but the gorge was closed on the day I was there.

The terrain is massively unforgiving and dangerous, you’d be a goner very quickly up there if you took a wrong route or fell etc.

So his friend Lucy has just been on the BBC, but she wouldn’t show her face, why would that be? Bit bizarre… also calling for the British police to be out there helping?

I imagine the specialist teams on the ground will do a far better job, since that’s what they do every day.

In other news, police rescued a British woman who was about to jump off her 7th floor balcony while her son slept inside the room - https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/National-Poli...

Brits abroad eh…

Sense and youngsters don’t often mix. He’s thought it’s only 10 miles there will be a shop. Oh st there isn’t even any cars or houses.

Have a look on the FB group it's mental. People claiming the Spanish aren't doing anything.

The amount of armchair detectives thinking they know better than the Spanish police is mind blowing.
