Buzzin Disgrace

I found the story unbelievable this week and the sentence he received even more so, what is going on?

This w***er, known as Mark Kirc, 20, from Keighley, West Yorkshire, was driving his silver Vauxhall Corsa along the M62 rowing with his girlfriend, and two friends at 2am after having a night out in Blackpool.  He then pulled onto the hard shoulder of the motorway where he and the others get out of the car.

Kirc gets back into his car and decides to do a U-Turn, facing the oncoming traffic he then does a handbrake turn in the middle of the motorway and pulls back onto the hard shoulder where he does another handbrake turn and is yet again facing the wrong way.

He was later stopped by police, but then assaulted the officer by repeatedly punching him in the face, breaking the policeman’s glasses.  Kirk continued the attack and the two were on the floor, the officer was also kicked in the head.

Kirk was later arrested and admitted to dangerous driving and assault.  Kirk, who also has previous convictions for drink-driving and disorderly behaviour, was given a pathetic two-year conditional discharge.

The hearing took place at Manchester Crown Court, where Judge Clement Goldstone said that Kirk drove like a “lunatic” but he could not impose a suspended prison sentence as Kirk was to begin a new job.

Kirk allegedly has a job lined-up in Ireland, and the reason for the decision was that he would not be able to do any community work in the UK, which apparently forms part of the suspended sentence.

The judge said,

“I cannot impose such a requirement in this case because you are not going to be here to fulfil it and I’m not going to set you up to fail.”

Kirk was also banned from driving for two years, and he has to also take an extensible test when he returns to the road and was fined £1,800 in compensation to the policeman and court costs.

This has got to be one of the most pathetic sentences and decision for that sentence that I have seen so far, what is happening to the British justice system!

This potential murderer should have at least been handed a hefty prison sentence and a driving ban for good, how many people’s lives did he put in danger, unbelievable!
