Man who was Damien child actor in The Omen sentenced for assaulting cyclists

I guess he really was the
Devil In-CAR-nate....

with his mother and father played, respectively, by Gregory Peck and Lee Remick

Um... pretty sure it was the other way round. Unless they both did what would by any standards be measured an oscar-winning cross-dressing performance.

Nice one Road.cc

Way to trivialise an incident where one cyclist was knocked unconscious and another had his face smashed in for, basically, no reason at all by writing a cheeky little clickbait headline, then dropping a few little puns into the article for good measure. For fuck's sake, this article could have been lifted directly from the Daily Heil

Meanwhile, this shitcrumpet is free to do the same thing to anybody else that takes his fancy. Depressingly familiar.

So the anti christ works in the London property market then. Surprising news. 

I fail to see what relevance his previous child acting exploits have on this case at all..
He assaulted two cyclists, got off extremely lightly. No justice whatsoever.

I have no idea what 'possessed' him to do that...

Stephens, who is believed to work in property nowadays...

I can see why you went with his former profession in the headline, because "Scum-sucking estate agent shows utter contempt for his fellow man" wouldn't really sound very newsworthy. Nor would "Owner of grossly overpowered Audi has lead foot and zero patience" or "Judge lets maniac continue driving".

It would have to be an exceptionally brave judge to send Damien from the Omen to prison.

I always knew he was a bad un since he had his mother off the balcony on that tricycle.

"An unhappy Friday the 13th"?!

He was probably skipping out of the courtroom to his gas-guzzling nob-mobile, chuckling about how fantastic the British justice system is for scum like himself.

What a joke!

no prison cos he's rich

"An unhappy Friday The 13th for star of cult 1970s horror movie as he is sentenced"

Has no one here ever heard of 'fake news'?  What does it take for people to wake up to the most blatant Mockingbird bullshit?

The BBC report says he had an attack of road rage because he was held up momentarily by two cyclists riding side by side *because one was overtaking the other*. Thoroughly disgusting behaviour- I mean, *overtaking*? How very dare they!

150 hours of unpaid work and to pay compensation of £1,000 to each victim as well as £120 to the cyclist whose helmet he broke

Same old same old.

More vehicular vermin that should not be allowed to sit in a driving seat let alone be given the keys.

From the Guardian report:

In mitigation, defence counsel Ben Irwin said Stephens, who had no previous convictions, pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and accepted he “behaved poorly”.

Referencing his childhood stardom, he said: “As a child he was an actor. That wasn’t a route he wanted to go down and he became a futures trader.”

Which is the kind of irrelevant bilge water that passes to justify the following kind of behaviour...

Stephens, who then accelerated heavily before overtaking the pair and pulling over.

Brand said Stephens punched Richardson, knocking him unconscious, which prompted Manley to intervene. Stephens responded by asking Manley: “You want some do you?” before punching him twice in the face, causing him to fall on his back with his bicycle still between his legs.

Stephens held Manley down and punched him six or seven times, inflicting dental injuries and damaging his helmet,

Annoyed about this?

You might want to write to the APPCG (All Party Parliamentary Cycling Group)- by this Monday (16th) - Cycling and the Justice System: Inquiry

email to: coffmana [at] parliament.uk

"We’ll be asking specific questions about how aspects of the legal system could be improved, such as whether the Highway Code provides good enough guidance on how to behave around cyclists. 

We’ll also be seeking to find out whether the police are effective in detecting crimes on the roads and whether prosecutors and the courts are using all the means available to them to prevent illegal behaviour from recurring. 

We know, for instance, that up to a third of drivers who receive 12 licence points, or sometimes even more, escape any form of disqualification by pleading “exceptional hardship” in court. 

In the meantime, we want to hear from people on bikes whose lives have been touched by the legal system to tell us what their experiences have been – whether good or bad. 

Please send any thoughts to us by the 16 January"

Re the headline: the character is "Damien" not "Damian". Just sayin'
