Teenager, 16, 'killed kindly OAP with single punch' during riots

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.

Oh my, he’s black.

From the Reuters coverage and BBC clips I’ve seen, you would think that it was only white kids...

Funny how if 90,000 black kids are tearing up London the MSM publishes the pics of the dozen white trash scumbags that join in...

In Arizona, we old farts call The Knockout Game, “The Plug’em Game”.

But then, we don’t have a lot of riots in Tucson...

Recycling means the atoms that are wasted on this murderer’s earthly existence are put to a better use such as being parts of dirt, flowers, ants and worms.
