Mother-Son Pair Appear in British Court Over Anti-Gay Assault
Ricky Holland (right), a 21-year-old British man, admitted that he headbutted one of his lesbian neighbors before his mother Violet (left) came out of the house and allegedly punched the other lesbian neighbor. Gay slurs were used during the incident, the court heard:
"Lincoln magistrates heard that Jennifer Warne (28) suffered homophobic abuse and was head-butted in the face by Ricky Holland outside their home in Lincoln Road, Brant Broughton, near Lincoln. And the court was told that, a few minutes later her partner Marie Neasham (34) was then punched by Violet Holland. On the first day of evidence, Lincoln magistrates were shown photographs of injuries Ms Warne sustained in the alleged attack. They were the result of a confrontation involving Ricky Holland, the court heard. He had previously been at a New Year's Eve party at his house in Lincoln Road, but had come out into the street. Ms Warne said she had been head-butted in the face and then punched on the back of the head by Ricky Holland after he yelled homophobic insults at her. In interview with police, Ricky Holland accepted he had clashed heads with Ms Warne but said it was an accident. He also accepted shouting homophobic slurs at the couple. His mother also admitted pushing Ms Neasham, but denied assault. Ricky and Violet Holland deny assault by beating."
WWJD?

Wow! He's gonna be POP-ular when he gets to prison!

What classy people! I'm soooo surprised that a person like that still lives at home with his mom (read: sarcasm).

I hate it when the homophobes are actually good looking (the son, NOT the mother). Luckily he also seems to be stupid..."I swear, your honor, it was an accident that I headbutted her. I tripped and fell and that's when my head hit her head."
Does anyone know what the maximum sentence would be for these two if they are convicted?

Naturally, she's wearing a gigantic cross. He's got kind of a William McNamara in the 90s thing going.

Sorry to disappoint our American friends who think the ginourmous cross means that this is somehow linked into religious bigotry. This is England, religion is irrelevant - they are just yellow-belly chavs.... a terrifying sub-breed of their own!

I would do him in a heartbeat.

I love the look on their faces in these pics. These people never expected to be called on for their criminality.

CHAV!

For those that would "do him", perhaps you could use the lesbian's blood as lube?
sick fucks.

Will someone over there please kick the yellowbelly family into the oblivion they deserve? Luv to get into it with these two...two punches and it's over.

The story doesn't say that they were fighting with the women because they were lesbians -- that sounds incidental. Most likely with this type they were fighting over barking dogs or parking spaces or cigarette butts strewn by one into the other's yard. Once the battle begins, of course there will be name calling. Honestly, if you were fist-fighting lesbians, would you be yelling out "You dirty bird!" or "Take that, you Meanie!" or would you go for the nasty stuff? Anyway, he's hot looking, and I don't think anyone is a "sick fuck" for seeing that.

I'm surprised Big Mamma didn't use her tacky cross jewelry as a weapon.

They were fighting the women because they were lesbians. That's painfully obvious.
Equally painfully obvious is the eagerness around here to get fucked by a Nazi.
Posted by: David Ehrenstein | Jun 10, 2008 1:16:35 PM
Apparently the only women who ever turned him down...
I could see why he'd be shocked.
His defense is ludicrous, hopefully we'll find out what happens.
Posted by: anon | Jun 10, 2008 1:57:58 PM
He's a pretty asshole: it's not like any of us are strangers to those ;)
He's goodlooking but that doesn't make him any less scummy for what he did to that woman, whether or not he did it because she's a lesbian. Obviously this wasn't a case of self defence since the violence was excessive.
Posted by: Chas | Jun 10, 2008 2:31:38 PM
Honestly does it really matter that it was a lesbian? The fact of the matter is he attacked another human being let alone a woman. Regardless of her sexuality, the guy is a worthless douche bag.

"typical gay man"? Evan, you sound like a "typical Obama supporter".
David E., it may be "painfully obvious" to you, but you seem to be someone who paints with a broad brush. You weren't there, you don't know what happened, you don't know what any of the people involved are like, but it's painfully obvious to you? And you throw out the "Nazi" slur quite easily. When people do that, it begins to lose it's meaning, like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
Do you think this guy is "Nazi" enough to make mafia slurs against someone with a name like Marciano?
Posted by: paul | Jun 10, 2008 3:07:51 PM
Love the "You weren't there" bit. You sound like an O.J. juror, Paul.
And what's withe the "typcal Obama supporter" crack?
Go suck McCain's cock you fucking Log Cabinette piece of shit!!!
Posted by: David Ehrenstein | Jun 10, 2008 3:17:42 PM
"Evan, you sound like a "typical Obama supporter."
Explain this, please.
Posted by: Chas | Jun 10, 2008 3:22:15 PM
Chas, Evan made the derogatory remark "typical gay man", which is unfortunately similar to Obama's racist "typical white person" comment.
David, you really like the name calling, don't you? That's something you have in common with the mother/son duo in the article, so maybe you do know what their motive was. My bad.
