More broken Britain: Man who killed hamster recieves 800 pounds a month in benefits

[boozeboxer]

Do I have to be the asshole to point out that it was just a hamster? They feed these things to snakes and do tests on them and one guy throws one and he is the jerk?

It's the benefits thing that we are having a go at here. The hamster is kind of secondary to most of us.

Then he should be made to eat it, he killed it.

He will vent his next anger on her or something else that cant fight back and the judge will make another excuse for his inexcusable actions.

Whimps hurt others when they are hurting inside,he will never man up if he keeps getting let off.

Even the stupid chick is back with him. Its coming, only a matter of when.

Haha I just thought with my "If you kill it you have to eat it" hunters law, analogy.

Jeffrey Darhma would have been beaming at the judge from the docks.

If I was his lawyer I would have used it in his defense.

Item #2B of the Hunters code clearly states...

Is it putting the Hamster in Ham, or simply putting the Ham in Hamster?

Sexual inuendo.

What is the source of the anger in this story?

That he killed a hamster?
That he is on benefits?
Or that he spends £70 a week on weed?

I find the link a bit absurd to be honest. Man on benefits kills a hamster, he must lose his benefits.

As for the £70 a week on weed. The government give you what you need to live on. If he gets 800 a month and manages to budget well enough to spend £70 quid on weed then fair play to him.

I'm a bit meh on the whole story. A hamster is just a rat without a tail at the end of the day.

A combination Bilbo.
To be honest most straight voting/working people would be thinking..Ok this bum is getting paid by the goverment to purchase his dakka, this and the lack of any work ethic probably has him feeling depressed so he is in balanced enough to go and kill a girls guinea pig.

After all it is whats happened. Dude is mentally imbalanced and the tax payer is forking out for his continued way in it all.
Then the judge lets him off so he will continue in it, instead of making him do community service so that he gets a bit of respect.

Nothing wrong with benefits, but to find that someone is using a quarter of their taxpayer funded money on illegally purchased drugs is quite disgusting. People pay a lot of tax in the UK and I think anyone who pays tax should be annoyed by this guy. He has a dodgy knee, so has disability allowance too? Fix it and get a job, you just know this guy has been milking it and refuses to work like many, many others. This case has outed him and he should be made to pay.

I have no beef with you receiving allowance because your situation was serious and has left you somewhat depleted. But furthermore, you don't appear to be murdering hamsters. The guy is a lowlife and like too many in that country needs to motivate himself to stop smoking weed everyday and get a paying job.

The UK angers me because it is a place that rewards manipulation from top to bottom and yet who pays for it all, the millions who honestly stick to their work and pay their taxes. Those people are being seriously fobbed off.

I live in a society where I pay 4% income tax and I know for a fact potheads aren't taking a cut, teenage mums aren't getting housing from it, I know there isn't enough to go round to the banks. It has been suggested that I have become Asian, but that isn't quite true. But I have turned my back on the horror that is the UK.

I don't even live there and stories like this annoy me. I am surprised there hasn't been full blown revolution. I would have a heart attack reading this and knowing that a third of my income is being taken away for lost causes each month.
