robber gets a kicking
awesome!
but:
"He was trying to fund a £200-a-week cannabis habit."
heavily doubt it
I dunno, a guy i went to school with probibly spends at least that much a week on canabis. If ever he got his house raided, the police would do him
for suspision of dealing, but us that know him, know that his just for him!!!
He's a numpty and i don't know many people who hang about with him now, unless they're getting stoned with him.
It's a shame cos he's a nice lad, he's just got a problem, but his family are millionaires, so he has got the money for it.
thats an ounce and a quarter per week in nottingham! He musn't have much to do with himself
How old are you fha772? you dont know a saran do you?

funny how the bloke said he confronted the robber because he was in a bad mood. when faced with a bloke that had a gun that i would have no way of
identifying as a replica i would have to be in more than a bad mood to tackle him! brave? yes, mental? definately
i have taken on my fair share of nutters inc. a bloke in birkenhead weilding a cricket bat in the pyramids shopping centre, but a gun? no thanks. hope
this doesn't incourage people to do the same as a lot of guns out there aren't replica's and bullets have a tendancy to hurt a lot.
TOP MAN!!!
After flooring the raider, Mr Richardson used a judo move to pin him to the ground and kept him there for seven minutes until police
arrived.
It would have been quite tragic if the pinning down caused the scumbag to suffocate....... NOT!!!
It would have saved us paying for his life of luxury at HMP only to leave prison and no doubt do the same.
Good on him! Brave people like him need rewarding 
he's a bloody big bast**d I bet that robber wa shitting himself lol
There are some decent people around still!
However, anyone with a gun telling me to open the door would be met with a YES SIR! He must be crazy!

Personally I think he's bonkers. He had a gun directly pointed at him for quite some time. Such robberies are often drug fuelled IE the people
waving the gun may well be unpredictable and feeling threatened and adrenaline and flight / fight response might make the person start firing (if it
was a real gun) to get out that situation. The chance of him being shot was considerable. He's a father of six. He risked being killed (leaving
his children without a father) because he was angry? Do what?
If the gunman had been actively trying to kill someone then risking his own life would seem the appropriate thing to do (ie you might save someone by
dying). But when the only thing being lost was some cash? Doesn't seem to add up. How much cash would his children pay up for him not to be
dead?
There's brave and there's crazy IMHO.
