Violent idiot doing idiotic violent things to show just how much of a 'big man' he is.

Well there you go, 'big man', you've caused another person a brain injury...and yet I bet you still blame the other person for "getting in the way".

In his defence the car had “L” plates so he is a learner driver… seems he has more to learn than most though.

People should loose their right to drive for this

Found the exact spot

People should loose their right to drive be a part of society for this

FTFY

Nah you can't defend any of that

I mean, if it helps, you can have one of these: /s

I know it’s hard to detect tone in text, honestly I do, but, you know?

Some actions are blatantly indefensible and this so obviously is one such case.

paywall for me, could someone copy paste here, I still have (naives) hopes that some justice has been done

and how do they break the reader mode: it loop back to the wall? It's the first time I've seen this

edit: the link in the post description worked, but I take from this that he's still walking free at the moment

Satisfying that he was found guilty.

That cunt of a woman should also be held accountable for just leaving the scene of a brain injury without helping.

They both deserve prison.

Its a UK video, shouldn't need the /s, that's standard.

UK comments should have a special way to indicate sincerity!

That's grievous bodily harm. This fucker belongs in jail.

Joseph Hedley became involved in a confrontation with the cyclist before violently attacking him at the city’s Cowgate in September 2024.

Hedley, 39, left his vehicle and approached the innocent male, before grabbing him by the neck and violently throwing him to the ground.

The victim smashed his head off the road and suffered serious head injuries, including a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain.

Hedley then left the 34-year-old cyclist lying unconscious in the middle of the road as he got back into his car and drove off.

Hedley, from Kirkcaldy, subsequently found out police had put out an appeal to find the motorist involved and handed himself into a local station two days later.

He pled guilty to assault to severe injury, permanent impairment and danger of life when he appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Tuesday.

That's the main jist of things

Oh bloody hell I'm such a goose, it did not occur to me that it was /s-worthy. Please ignore me :D

pleaded guilty

I won’t ignore you, my friend.

Hedley pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Brown to his severe injury, ** permanent impairment **

Fuck me... that's rough. He should be forced to pay for the rest of his life, get anger management courses, and psychological help.

I think you can have them on even if you're not a learner driver, it's less of a hassle ti change them and in some places they are a sticker that can't be removed without damage

L (or Welsh D) - plates should be covered or removed if the driver is licensed according to the UK’s .gov website.

There is no amount of psychological help that can change a conservative into a normal person. They are just violent by nature.

Why are you clickbaiting us when you won't even make money off your posts, did you know you can describe the contents of your post within the title ?

How about /s for sincerely? /s

edit: added /s for clarification

Perhaps people in the UK should adopt “/s” to mean sincere? That would completely fuck with everybody else - and strikes me as an incredibly British thing to do.

Driving? People should lose their freedom for 8-10 years.

It's never been a worse time to be a cyclist in the UK the amount of hard men who shout abuse at me is unreal, and i only go out on a Sunday for leisure. Never happens when I go out with a group though.

I don't disagree with you statement but where did you come up with "conservative"? I didn't see that distinction anywhere in the linked article.

Their violent nature gives them away as conservatives. A normal person does not violently attack people with no real provocation like that. Only a conservative does that. Notice how naturally it came to him and his wife. Conservatives are violent by nature and attacking people is normal behavior for them. That is an almost exclusively conservative trait.

I appreciate this level of clarity so much!

I love it.

All British communities online need to adopt this by end of this year

Found a gofundme page, not sure of its veracity

"On March 26th, Iain was out doing what he loved most — cycling. But that day took a tragic turn. Iain was thrown from his bike in a devastating accident, resulting in a serious spinal cord injury. He now faces life with severely limited movement in both his arms and legs"

why so harsh? not like he shouted "free palestine" or something.

Just look at their username, they obviously have an axe to grind

Its difficult to tell if you're a useful idiot or just not useful but trolling.

Why would anyone want a video described as a story in the title, that's just dumb unless you're visually impaired

I might be an idiot. But I am honest in my absolute hatred of conservatives. I do not value their lives in the tiniest amount, just as they do not value the lives of non-conservatives. If that's what idiot trolls think, then I guess I'm guilty.

"an entire group of people is psychotic, so in turn, it is justified that I am psychotic"

We don't have to be precious about it, it's easy to see why they'd feel that way. In a calmer mood you still know it's wrong, but it seems disingenuous to pretend it's incomprehensible how someone could be in those feelings.

You're welcome. /s

it’s incomprehensible how someone could be in those feelings

Looks like you made that up, since I never said that. They calmly said they are justified in erasing their empathy for other people. I can point out that this is wrong. They didn't even bother being specific enough to say "nazis". Their username even implies they want to burn vast numbers of people alive.

lol @ "precious"

Looked like attempted murder to me

Nothing about that was an accident

wait wait wait this is the internet everyone is supposed to call each other nasty names and get banned i am disappoint

That's looks to whereabouts they found that poor guy's head on Halloween night in 2024. It's been a few years, so I may not be remembering the exact spot.

Why were they out of their car anyway? Solid move, potential lethally injuring someone and then shuffle off. Great people, both of them, really.

Oi, show me your adoption ordering license.

What a stupid take. Cult deprogramming is a thing.

He should have worn a helmet.
