View Full Version : OT: Is Burglar Bill entitled to a shrine?

Henry Vincent, a 37 year old traveller and inveterate burglar, was stabbed to death by the house owner he was trying to rob. Vincent took a screwdriver as a weapon but that was turned on him by the house owner and Vincent was killed outright.
Vincent's girl friend, parents and kids have set up a flower shrine opposite the house in which he died. They say he may have been a career criminal but he was a loving dad and a kind man to all of his friends and deserves the respect of a memorial and the anger of those who oppose the shrine is OTT.
This is the kind of story the Daily Mail thrives on. 'An Engishman's home is his castle, etc. The burglar was scum, a worthless person who should not be celebrated.'
Any sympathy out there for Burglar Bill?

Not from me.....if anyone tries breaking into my house...they will be getting a machete to the face as a hello present...protect yourself, protect your family, protect your friends, protect your country....simple as.

Cue the "do~gooders" on here that say actually he was a decent guy, lack of care, lack of understanding, poverty, blah blah blah, if only we had more police etc etc

Nope.
He was a career pond life, who preyed on pensioners.
He was known to brag about it on social media, despite the devastation he caused. Everyone deserves to be safe in their own home. At that age, more so.

What gives this scum the right to rub everyone's nose in it, by covering other peoples property with their sympathy tokens, escapes me. Not that Pi keys respect other peoples properties anyway.
They have already been issuing death threats and vows of revenge. Who wants to see their hypocritical notes on the door step as well.
You want a shrine? Do it on your door step.

Had he broken into my place, his mate wouldn't have gotten out either. That's if they'd gotten past the dogs first I suppose.
But luckily my Waffen SS training will come in handy( thought I'd get that in, before the usual snowflakes do)

Good question.

Given that he brought a screwdriver to "defend" himself (or aid in his escape) and that he died by his own weapon then clearly was in the business of threatening harm to others and died in the process of doing so. In that sense I have far less sympathy in this death than I would had it been any of his victims. Nonetheless, any early death is a tragedy and not everyone had the same relationship with him as those he was robbing. In that case, he will be remembered by his family and friends for the much better relationship he had with them. I have no qualms with their grieving his death as anyone would. Is right across the street from the house he died robbing the most appropriate place for such a shrine? Probably not - it's rather insensitive to the people he was robbing and who now have to live with the fact that he/she/they killed him.

It's a no from me. The family have the right to grieve and mourn the loss but not in the face of the family and community that he had chosen to victimise. They should lament the life and death of their family member in their own private way. There will be very little public sympathy for him and the act of setting up any sort of shrine in the face of his victims is only going to be seen as provocative. The innocent victims do not need a reminder of the crimes committed against them and the subsequent danger that they faced. They will have their own emotional trauma to deal with.

Is the correct answer. The pensioner should not have been put in that position in the first place and should not have to go back to his home to see a shrine of flowers outside. The first thing that should happen is for it to be removed.

It must not be forgotten that the pensioner was the victim in this case, and will no doubt be suffering like the victim of any crime committed against them as you say. As for the burgular he signed his own death warrant when he decided to enter the property.

The filth got exactly what he deserved... he didn't bring the screwdriver with him to change the batteries in his torch... fair play to the guy for defending himself and his family...we had a case here where a traveler broke into the house of my neighbor who shot at him with his rifle and got him in the leg.... and guess what... my neighbor got dragged through the courts for it, had to pay a huge fine to the scumbag who was trying to rob him and only narrowly avoided jail time! you could not make it up

I accept there will be people mourning for him, but the shrine from what I’ve read is more to stir up a reaction. He isn’t a victim. The guy that defended his life is. He hasn’t returned to the house for fear of a revenge attack!
What I detest is the assessment of ‘reasonable force’ in these cases.
You’re woken at 3am by an unknown intruder potentially there to harm you and your family. It’s pitch black your adrenaline must be through the roof, and you’re supposed to be able to judge ‘reasonable.’

I love the way some posters on here automatically assume that my left wing credentials mean I will sympathise with the burglar. Not so. I agree that building a shrine opposite the scene of the crime is provocative in the extreme. Taking the shrine apart was the correct action. Maybe there was no need to glory in it by crushing it to pieces though.
The difference between the pensioner who stabbed Vincent to death and the guy Tarquin mentions is that Osborn-Clark didn't import a weapon to the scene of the crime which I believe puts the crime into another perspective.

When it happened he was 65 & the assailant 35. He did not order his life as though that sort of thing happened every day & didn't as you probably do arm himself, have dogs & turn his house into a fortress. At first he made sure that his wife & two visiting daughters were out of the way ,tried to negotiate & then only resorted to violence when he had to with any means at his disposal. Shortly afterwards he contracted angina although it was never sure that was a result of his exertions. Thankfully he lived until he was well into his eighties.

1. He did a rescue run first
2. he did a Kofi Annan, negotiated/came up with sanctions
3. Decided a tactical team was the only way, so disarmed the assailants.
4. Rendered him inert and restrained in a comfortable position
5. Sent for the justice department.

Pinning stuff to a fence? That’s against the law is it? I had better take down the trellis I’ve got pinned to my neighbour’s fence, the cops might be round in a bit.

As for littering, that means you would ban all floral tributes? Good luck in enforcing that in Liverpool this weekend.

Don't be a **** all your life chubbs.
If someone sprayed Corbyn is a ****er on their side of your fence, you'd be going ballistic. It's illegal to mess with anyone else's property. I don't care whether it's flowers or dog ****.
To watch that scum, clamber all over a wall and vandalise that fence was illegal. It's provocation, especially after the old bugger is being protected away from his home, because of death threats.

The force said it would need to receive a complaint from the owner of the fence on which the shrine was erected to take action.

One neighbour suggested the shrine was placed opposite the Osborn-Brooks's home to 'antagonise' them.

She said: 'He [Vincent] did not die here. He died in hospital. You should put it where he lived. They should not have a tribute to him here. It should have been at the burglar's house.'

The tributes had been attached to a fence surrounding a property owned by 78-year-old Saverimuthu Augustine.

Mr Augustine said: 'When I heard they were on my fence, I was annoyed. I do not appreciate people putting them there.


Neighbour Theresa Webb, 43, said of the shrine: 'It was inappropriate, poor taste really. You're thinking, 'how long will it be up there?' I'm relieved it's down.'

Mr Osborn-Brooks himself has been forced into hiding after receiving death threats following the confrontation.

Graffitiing a fence could well be classed as criminal damage. Attaching flowers isn’t.

To answer the question, no laws are being broken by the people laying the flowers, which is why they are being allowed to do it. The police are there to uphold the law as it is not how you would like it to be.

Don't shirk it chubbs, they are aren't laying flowers, they are vandalising someones fence. That's criminal damage. The fact its a 78 year old mans fence, who has already highlighted his distress should be enough. The whole situation is a breech of the peace.
The scum pikeys have invaded a pensioners home, thinking it was a easy victim. Karma has occured, yet the whole community has become outraged and in fear of reprisals. The "display" is an act of defiance, to intimidate and their refusal to apologise, whilst clinging to the victim stance, is disgusting.

Cuts to Police budgets do upset me. As much as the money we waste on the EU gravy train and Foreign aid free for all. Not to mention our over commitment to defense spending, that many members shirk and expect protection.

I think it's disgusting a man has been driven from his home for defending himself and his property. If you go armed and break into someone's house then sorry but you've brought any results on yourself and I'm really glad he didn't get charged. It might not be breaking the law but the "Shrine" should be ripped down everytime something gets put up.

Also in regards to travellers then they set up at lots of sites near me in Leeds and they are a ****ing menace, wreck the place, have no respect for anyone else then do the same thing about 400 metres away. You've got three people on this thread who have first hand knowledge and say they're a right set of cnuts so anyone else on here defending their rights can't have much to do with them. Let them move in next door to these defenders and in a week they'll be begging them to leave.

1. A man killed a burglar in his house by stabbing him with his own weapon.
2. The people who implement the law have decided he was perfectly within his rights to do so.
3. The same people have decided that relatives and friends of the burglar have the same rights to put down floral tributes without interference as everyone else.
4. Travellers and every other group should be subject to the same laws as everyone else, with the same penalties if they transgress.

I would guess also that anyone who kills a well known criminal with a lot of family connections would be prevented from or choose not to return home within a few days of the incident, regardless of the background of the criminal. He may well never be able to return home safely.

A “memorial” was removed earlier this year by the local council because, after consulting with local residents, it was decided that it was unsightly.

So nothing to do with the law or “PC” or cops then.
If the police consulted the residents in this case and they wanted it stopping what do you think would happen?
PC Nothing.

PC Nothing.

As I said it was the local council who removed that “memorial”, 5 years after the event.

I’m not sure the coppers conduct opinion polls when trying to do their job.

You do realise bigfatpie is a traveller don’t you, he makes a living selling lucky heather and reading palms.
My only experience of these cavemen type people was when they encamped for a week near my work place a few years ago, we would always see various members male & female crouching in the same spot for the whole week they were there, vicious dogs always roaming around aswell, when they eventually left I went to explore the spot where there always seemed to be going to, I honestly didn’t expect what I saw, dozens of piles of human excrement and disgarded tissues !
They aren’t human !

They had a Setee in a car park over here cut a small hole in it used it as a toilet.They got moved on eventually & had filled it with sheite.The Council workers didn't know until they came to lift it.To make matters worse, it was opposite a Police Station

Good job I didn’t see that settee as I’m one of those that always puts a shifty hand down in the cushions to see if there’s any spare change been left !

If you had put your shifty hand down it, you would have lost the "f" on your hand.XD
