Lee Hughes

It's a debate. To be honest, we are all entitled to our views. For me, if you do the crime, you have to deal with the time.

What job do you do?

[TFF]

I work in IT/Journalism.

How would you feel if it was a member of your family he killed? When you see him dancing on a fooball pitch with a big grin on his face?

What if you were a member of his family and you saw A BIG GRIN on his FACE ANYWHERE!!! THE OUTRAGE!!

ALOL.

I love the arguing skills of Loyalroyalfan.

Best thread of the week!

(I admit I was stupid on that great save thread).

Sentenced to six years, served 3.

Is that 'doing his time'?

Do you almost have a hear attack when Joey Barton is picked to play for Newcastle?

Spacey does...

Prisoners sentenced to 4 years or more are eligible for release once they have served half their sentence if the parole board see fit.

In his case they did, so yes he has.

Can we have a link to him doing his celebration please? Then we can judge for ourselves.

Quite frankly don't agree with the sentiment of this thread. Lee Hughes has served his punishment and been released back into society to live his life as he sees fit which is something everybody, including his victim's family, need to be able to live with. I don't know the man personally so I'm not going to call him any kind of name despite his actions after the car crash he caused being those of someone who's not willing to face up to their responsibilities.

In short - people die, and people cause the deaths of others whether through deliberate or unintentional means. Sometimes the causers of death need to be punished. Lee Hughes caused the death of an innocent person and was punished by having his rights and priveleges taken from him for 3 years, with another 3 years if confinement if he reoffends during the 2nd half of his sentence. "Oh but what of the victim?!" I hear LoyalRoyalFan cry. Like I said, people die through accident or deliberate means. This was an accident. Life goes on. And it will go on with Lee Hughes in this world for the foreseeable future. Deal with it.

... imagine if we banned "acting like a twat" from the internet ...

Spacey would have to be put down. It would be for the best.

Plus 18 months probation and time in reprimand. He's not in the 80% bracket of re-offenders, and he's getting on with his life.

LOLz @ this thread

Although that's harsh aggers, he's come up with quite a snappy little catchphrase there, I can see it catching on

[handbags_harris]

Why was he paroled? Why?
It makes no sense to me, as he behaved so badly that he was in fact banned from the prison football team for repeated violent behaviour!!
I thought the idea was to reward good behaviour, and punish bad behaviour? Clearly this scoundrel should have served his full sentence.

What a crock of shit. I suggest you, and all the other Lee Hughes detractors on here, read up about some of the things he is actually doing in an attempt to offer something back to the community, in particular doing things in an effort to prevent others making the mistakes he made. Some people won't be swayed though, because he's killed a man, despite the fact he actually repents his actions and wants to try to put all that he can right. And for that, IMHO, he deserves credit.

[Ian Royal]

One accidental mistimed challenge for the ball could have led to stitches in the chin you 'tard.

What a ridiculous thread. He does something stupid and kills someone. He does his time and comes out. He should no more be made an example of than anyone else. I don't care what his job is, he should get the same treatment as anyone else would.

He may be a cock, but doing a goal celebration has precisely dick to do with his crime.

He's out and he's playing. Suck it up motherlickers.

[handbags_harris]

he was in fact banned from the prison football

What a crock of shit.

No, it is the truth. Please read here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/west_midlands/4347809.stm

One challenge led to a player going to hospital, a spokesman for opponents Fegg Hayes, from Stoke-on-Trent, said......
The player who went to hospital needed stitches to his chin, the spokesman added.

So he sent an opponent to the hospital with stitches needed to his chin, and was banned from the team.
That is not "a crock of shit", that is the truth, and is yet again indicative of Mr. Hughes' violent naturre.
This man is a menace to society, and even though he tries to con people into believing he is a "nice guy" it is in fact not so, he is a thug, a criminal, and belongs behind bars where he can not pose a danger to society.

Well you really do go to town with your preconceptions of people don't you? You really think Lee Hughes should be in jail still because he got two bookings in a football match while he was inside? Should Ian Wright have been shoved back inside for being sent off in the early 90's?

Do you think that, just maybe, there may be detail which that BBC article may have left out? Such as a professional footballer in prison being targeted on a football pitch by others? Let's face it, he wasn't living with people who were too rosey themselves. Or of course, if played outside of prison, Sunday League's aren't exactly smelling of roses when it comes to nice personalities within the playing midsts. But we don't know that, and whatever your thoughts, there are more details to that incident than have been reported. That's not to say I defend a player who appears to give the impression of stamping on another player (whatever that means - not my fault, just reading the BBC article again), but Andre Bikey didn't exactly come out of his last Reading game smelling of roses did he, yet I can categorically state that he was an extremely nice guy to speak to (he was my neighbour in case you're interested). Either way, the article hardly incriminates Hughes for "repeated violent behaviour" (your comment, not mine), it in fact mentions very little detail about how the injuries came about, but you're quite happy to chip in and say he's a violent thug.

I'm intrigued to know if your assumption applies to all people in prison? Could it not be that Hughes was actually a model prisoner, causing notrouble at all while inside and therefore being rewarded for his good behaviour? If he wasn't a good prisoner he wouldn't have been let out, plain and simple. What is also a fact is that Lee Hughes wasn't actually imprisoned for a violent crime. These are thoughts, opinions, and facts which seem to have totally passed you by, probably because you're so on-track-minded that you see a man in jail as a simple menace to society who can't be rehabilitated any more. Well I put it to you that, at the present time of writing, Lee Hughes is no more a menace to society than you or I. But hey, let's not let the truth get in the way of a good old character assassinating media article for you to swallow hook, line, and sinker eh?

[TFF]

Fcuking awful dance though.

[handbags_harris]

Andre Bikey didn't kill a father of four through vehicular murder while under the influence of alcohol beyond the legal limit..

Selective arguing - fair do's. I'll argue against any point you raise if I disagree with it.

Correct, he didn't. But his on pitch behaviour is far worse than that of Lee Hughes, which is partly what you're basing your argument on.

Next...
