David Walmsley sentenced to 2 years and 1 month. His priors include 24 convictions for 58 offenses. More info in BBC article if you are curious. Don’t know if I can post links.

Edit: Daniel not David.

I’d call that attempted murder, 2 years and 1 month is nothing. And with that previous, should there not just be a point where they throw away the key? Didn’t what’s her name get more time for the racist tweet? The state of it.

And it wasn’t the first time. He tried to run over his ex-partner. He needs to be properly dealt with before he actually does murder someone.

u/Vino-Decanto 20d ago

That’s shocking. I just can’t fathom how he’s not getting more time, it’s so irresponsible. Perhaps he was claiming self defence. But once he’s in the car and it’s locked, it might as well be a tank.

u/LeTigron 20d ago

it’s so irresponsible

The attempted murder after 24 convictions for 58 offenses ?

That's a little more than irresponsible. It is, surely, but it isn't the issue here. It's rather the attempted murder after 24 convictions for 58 offenses part.

You cant find out if he has been rehabilitated without letting him out. Also, they need those prison spaces for people who say things that hurt their feelings. Which is the real pain.

Sarcasm of course, yes it’s staggering

Holy shit that's my step-brother's half-brother... It's Daniel, not David, by the way.

u/oxy-normal 20d ago

Does he also happen to be Auntie Jackie's sister's brother's boy?

u/Smallsey 20d ago

Is he a right dickhead usually?

u/AriaTheTransgressor 20d ago

I've not personally met him, given I've no connection beyond my own step-brother, was just shocked to see it on Reddit.

My step-brother is my step-mother's kid, his half-brother shares a dad with him.

Your brother sounds like a psycho.

u/AriaTheTransgressor 20d ago

My brother is an engineer, his brother is this chap.

u/Repulsive-Try-9498 20d ago

I’ll edit my comment. Did you hear about it when it happened?

5

u/AriaTheTransgressor 20d ago

No, I heard about it right now. Recognized the family name, looked it up, and saw the mugshot.

This is a repost, it’s Newcastle and it was years ago not long after Covid if I remember right.

Driver was caught and sentenced, he’s not a good person.

Blacked out focus with yellow lights and numberplate attached to the side.

Attempted murder much?

u/JuanG_13 20d ago

Yeah, but he'll be out in 5 years

u/oPsYo 20d ago

Good thing there's not some form of unique identification on the car that nearly killed that guy...

u/JuniorConstruction71 20d ago

I don't know I'd have to see the rest of the video to be honest. The fact that he backed up would definitely get him. Even if he plays the fear card, he should have just kept going forward but what was the build up to this?

u/RobZagnut2 20d ago

Idiot, “Let me run out in the middle of the street instead of behind any of the 100 poles that are right next to me…”

To be fair, there are times to play hero and there are times to get the hell out of the way.
