'I thought f*** this and hit him one':
Meet the hero who thumped robber after woman, 86, knocked to ground.
QUOTE: "An unemployed labourer has admitted "lamping" a mugger after he saw him knock a pensioner to the ground in Hull city centre. Danny Neilson, 27, from Boothferry Estate, was cycling along Ferensway, on his way back from McDonalds, when he saw the 86-year-old woman hit her head on the pavement as she was robbed. He said hundreds of people stood by and watched but thought to himself "f**k that" as he saw the mugger run off, and threw his bike to the ground and ran over. Mr Neilson, who says he has a "heart of gold", has admitted his involvement after seeing a news report on Hull Live which revealed the mugger, David Loftey, has now been jailed for three years and four months for his attack." https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news...nocked-3257959 |

She saw the turtle and swung to the right, off the highway, the wheels screamed and a cloud of dust boiled up. Two wheels lifted for a moment and then settled. The car skidded back on to the road, and went on, but more slowly. The turtle had jerked into its shell, but now it hurried on, for the highway was burning hot. "And now a light truck approached, and as it came near, the driver saw the turtle and swerved to hit it. His front wheel struck the edge of the shell, flipped the turtle like a tiddly-wink, spun it like a coin, and rolled it off the highway. The truck went back to its course along the right side. Lying on its back, the turtle was tight in its shell for a long time but at last its legs waved in the air, reaching for something to pull it over. Its front foot caught a piece of quartz and little by little the shell pulled over and flopped upright. The wild oat head fell out and three of the spearhead seeds stuck in the ground. And as the turtle crawled on down the embankment, its shell dragged dirt over the seeds. The turtle entered a dust road and jerked itself along, drawing a wavy shallow trench in the dust with its shell. The old humorous eyes looked ahead, and the horny beak opened a little. His yellow toe-nails slipped a fraction in the dust." -- John Steinbeck _Grapes of Wrath_ |
