Another one from the papers – covered by quite a few, but this one from The Sun.
In most papers it says “police are searching for the pranksters”. But in the Halesowen News, it would appear someone has done the work for the Police already. The imbecile’s name appears to be Daniel Pearce.
Pearce said:
We’re just having a bit of fun. It’s a bit dangerous, but so what. I haven’t been nicked yet but I don’t care even if I am.
“At the end of the day if the police do anything it’ll be a slap on the wrist but it’ll be worth it.
“I’ve got a shotgun licence and they only give those out to responsible people like me.
“Of course I’d do it all over again but I’d go faster next time. I’ve got nothing to regret or be sorry about. I’m a good driver.
This pondlife has a shotgun licence? Let’s hope the Police review that decision, because he doesn’t deserve to be allowed out unsupervised, let alone to own a gun. If he behaves illegally in a 4×4 (yes, Danny Boy, what you did was illegal), what is he likely to get up to with a shotgun?
One of the chimpanzees Pearce was towing (Shaun Crumpton) said:
The first time I got in I thought I was going to die. It swerved round the corner and almost hit a car but everyone was having a laugh.
Yes, and just think if a child had walked out from behind the car you “almost” hit to see what was going on.
I would imagine that reading and other such activities don’t find themselves on Pearce’s list of skills, but I wonder if he is aware of the case from last year where a father killed his son doing something similar? I’m sure Pearce and his kind will argue it wasn’t the same. But then, it never is, is it?
Let’s hope the Police view on this is a little different to what Pearce thinks it will be.
