Teenager attacks disabled man, saying 'He's disabled, he deserves everything he gets"

The Derby Telegraph reports:

A TEENAGER launched an unprovoked attack on a man in the street, saying: "He's disabled, he deserves everything he gets."

Gary Thurman was walking along Oxford Street, Ripley, with friends when three youths approached and one began pushing him.

Mr Thurman, 20, who has two hearing aids, tried to get away from drunken Ross Graham but was punched three times, Chesterfield magistrates heard.

"I was holding on to a fence and he hit me from behind and I was knocked to the ground. I kept trying to get up but he kept punching me in the face," Mr Thurman told police.

Peter Bettney, prosecuting, said a female witness told Graham to stop hitting him because he was disabled.

"The defendant said, 'He's disabled, he deserves everything he gets,' and continued hitting him," said Mr Bettney.

Jamie Rackham stood between them, only to be punched by Graham, causing a lump on his forehead.

Police were called and both victims were taken around Ripley by officers until they spotted Graham, 18.

Graham, of King William Street, Ironville, admitted the January 7 assault and was ordered to do 100 hours' unpaid work.

He must also pay £200 compensation to Mr Thurman and £100 to Mr Rackham, with £85 costs...

No custodial sentence, not even a suspended one. Pathetic.

I wonder if Liddle and Delingpole realise how their bile-fueled bullshit-containing articles contribute to the views of scum like Ross Graham.

Most likely, they don't care.
