Teenager, 16, 'killed kindly OAP with single punch' during riots
Daily Mail ^ | August 16, 2011 | Oliver Pickup

A 16-year-old boy killed a pensioner with a single punch as he tried to put out fires during the London riots, a court heard.

Onlookers pleaded ‘no, no, he’s an old man’ as a teenager wearing a T-shirt with the slogan ‘Robbers and Villains’ attacked.

Richard Mannington Bowes, 68, was punched in the face as he tried to extinguish a blaze near his home in Ealing, West London.

The force of the blow caused him to fall over smashing his head on the pavement. He died three days later on August 11 from the injuries he sustained. A 16-year-old boy has been charged with Mr Bowes's murder.

The Crown Prosecution Service also charged the Hounslow-based teenager - unidentified for legal reasons - with violent disorder as well as four counts of burglary.

They related to looting at a William Hill bookmakers, a Tesco Express, a Blockbusters video shop and a Fatboys restaurant.

The chubby teenager appeared in the dock in a black T-shirt with his arms folded. He did not enter a plea to the charges.

The most important thing is to avoid racial slurs.

They probably do. The blacks from the West Indies were mostly imported as slaves to the Islands. But that was looong ago....

“...killed a pensioner with a single punch...”

Must be Superman. Take him up on a tall building and see if he can fly.

Immigration control would have prevented this murder.

jeez...no part of that picture would lead one to believe this cretin is black. Further, it couldn't be farther from the truth that this 'person' committed a hate crime. no sir....no racist hate here.....

When this happens here continually, they are going to be sorry their numbers are so few..

It wasn’t the punch that killed. It was the sudden stop against concrete that killed. Abolish concrete. /s

A total waste of oxygen. Looks like only his mama raised him and she’s in trouble with the law too.

It’s almost to the point that the UK public is getting what they deserve.

It's simply the logical wages of "diversity" and PC.

Indeed, they don’t. But I know for sure if such things happened here that’s what it would be chalked up to.

“... a 39 cent bullet to the occipital lobe would be the rational decision.”

Yup. Not only for this lowlife, waste of flesh, but his b!tch whore mother as well.

And also for every weak-kneed, PC, degenrate, toothless, cowardly, liberal G-damned judge and politician that allows this.

I’m not as enlightened as you, and had to look up OAP.

Isn’t this the case where someone from LaBelle’s camp (an airport employee?) called the incident into West Point and the cadet was suspended or expelled before the full facts came out?
