“Tommy people dont deserve to be smashed over the head with a brick, its daft lads like you who need weapons coz your all mouth. If he was such a little smack head why did it take 2 of them to bring him down with a brick?? does not say much for the crack heads who did it. Big hard men of east Hull, well done tommy of preston road..... nog will enjoy the pay day from that enjoy the time boy's........”

“Tony, I like the way you have become the first person to properly turn this into a "have a go at the Police" thread. However, do you propose we go around arresting people we know have committed offences in the past, just to clear the streets? Do you know how much compensation is available to people if they can prove they have been wrongfully arrested? Do you think the Police are the judge and jury as well? Do you think it is the Police that sentence the criminals?

Together with the idiot that does not believe you should give way to emergency services vehicles - to whom, incidentally, I would like to say, next time you block an ambulance, just think... it could be for you or a family member - people on these forums need to do some reading, and learn facts before creating their own silly stories.”

“humberside police know who the main scum bags are and wont arrest them. only something gets done when it becomes a murder case. which is too late. its not safe on the streets of hull anymore. how many murders and attacks have there been in hull this year? all done by under 21's”

“i feel sorry for jason. but greenwich ave is a bad area and emergancy services have been attacked by little scum bags before, so i cant blame them. the first rule of saving someone is not to put yourself in danger. perhaps if people in the area brought up their kids in the correct way. there would not be gangs of little criminals everywhere and the emergancy services would not be in danger? oh and im from greenwich area”

“Clearly the last person to comment has no license or shouldn't have.

No1: The law does state under the high way code rule number
219 Emergency and Incident Support vehicles.

You should look and listen for ambulances, fire engines, police, doctors or other emergency vehicles using flashing blue, red or green lights and sirens or flashing headlights, or Highways Agency Traffic Officer and Incident Support vehicles using flashing amber lights. When one approaches do not panic. Consider the route of such a vehicle and take appropriate action to let it pass, while complying with all traffic signs. If necessary, pull to the side of the road and stop, but try to avoid stopping before the brow of a hill, a bend or narrow section of road. Do not endanger yourself, other road users or pedestrians and avoid mounting the kerb. Do not brake harshly on approach to a junction or roundabout, as a following vehicle may not have the same view as you.

Further more the law S87 of the road traffic regulation act 1984 gives exemtions to emergency vehicles allowing them to exceed speed limits when required.

So please do not comment on what you clearly no nothing about. I do suggest you call the BSM for further tuition on this matter.”

“Another anon, The Real World :
... the same people that cannot be bothered to look in their mirrors and get out of the way of emergency service vehicles.

No1 - there is no law that states you have to move over to let emergency vehicles pass, just as much as there is a law that states emergency vehicles should still adhere to speed limits - even in a emergency.

No2 - given the above i dont really see the need for sirens blazing and lights flashing putting innocent lifes at risk just for the sake to arrive at an emergency and have a 10min teabreak to assess the situation - do you ?”

“I think there is very little point in the professionals that know what they are talking about commenting on here, as the people of Hull (and others who use these forums) - as per usual - know better than everyone... the same people that cannot be bothered to look in their mirrors and get out of the way of emergency service vehicles, the same people that could police, teach, care for and manage better than any person in any of those professions.

However, for the record, East Hull in East Hull, yes, I am indeed British - white, British, Christian and male, not that that should make a difference, or exclude me from making typographical errors. I am after all, only human. and Puzzled, you have not hit a nerve. I am not a paramedic, but I was the first person into the room in question. Invariably ambulance control contact the Police before the crew gets to the scene, and they liaise on route. In this case, it was a judgement call, and it was a sensible one. I do wonder what people would say if the "silly ambulance man had got out of his yellow ambulance and been smacked around the head, also left for dead and the patient had subsequently been left brain-dead, or worse still, dead dead!?!?!?!

I apologise in advance should there be any errors of syntax, spelling or grammar within this response.”

“I was gonna put a crash helemet on e bay but I might keep it now. Do you think we'll ever see the day when we all go for a pint wearing a crash helmet (we coukd call em 'bash helmets')”

“if that had been mr prescott (MP) that had just been smacked over the head with a brick instead of jason nolan i dont even think a risk assessment would of even been in the equation and also the police would of attended the scene immediately in vast numbers well before the paramedic crew arrived - get my drift.”
