The link below will have the stills and the video.  I did not watch the video and only looked at a couple of the still photos.

The awful thing is that this is not an isolated occurrence.

Sickening images released by police lay bare a horrific attack by a teenage gang who kicked a man unconscious on the ground as a woman rifled through his pockets for money.

The graphic images of the town centre attack show the group kicking and punching the 27-year-old repeatedly before Gemma Stafford, 18, is seen stealing cash and cigarettes.

CCTV captured the drunken gang laying into their victim. One of the assailants is filmed delivering a horrific running kick to his head as he lay motionless.

WARNING: This footage contains graphic violence

Stafford, the initial ringleader of the unprovoked assault in Rochdale town centre, was sentenced to 18 months in jail yesterday. The four other gang members were jailed for a total of 13 years and six months last month.

Bolton Crown Court heard the man was targeted as he walked through the town in the early hours of March 15 this year.

Ringleader: Gemma Stafford, 18
Gemma Stafford led the gang as she walked over and shook her hands in an aggressive manner. The group then surrounded him and two of the offenders punched him in the head.

He soon fell to the ground after being repeatedly punched and kicked by the five offenders and was knocked unconscious.

Stuart Shaw, 20, continued to kick him while Stafford rifled through his pockets and stole money and cigarettes, even turning him over to make sure she had checked everywhere.

Just for good measure, Shaw then took one last running kick at the victim’s head before they ran off, leaving him for dead.

When police arrived Stafford claimed she was an innocent bystander who was concerned about the victim. Shaw said he could not remember what had happened because he had drank so much.

The victim was taken to hospital but luckily only suffered minor injuries.

Stafford, of Hilltop Drive, Kirkholt, was sentenced to 18 months after pleading guilty to violent disorder and robbery. She received nine months for each offence to run consecutively.

A police officer said after the case: ‘The scenes on the CCTV are absolutely disgraceful. This girl thought she would juist help herself to this guy’s belongings as her mates gave him a good kicking.

‘He could have been dead or dying yet she could not give too hoots about him. His money and cigarettes wee more important. There’s just no such thing as the fairer sex these days.’

Last month, Shaw, of Bridge Street, Heywood, was sentenced at Bolton Crown Court to four years after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and violent disorder.

Andrew Harbourne, 19, of Clever Street, Burnley was sentenced to four years after pleading guilty to violent disorder and robbery.

Joshua McErlean, 19, of Bury Road, Rochdale was jailed for four years after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, robbery and violent disorder.

A 17-year-old boy was sentenced to 18 months youth detention after pleading guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, robbery and violent disorder.

There’s a bit more of the story at the link with photos.  I am not going to post the video or the still shots here.  I just can’t bring myself to go that far.
I don’t feel like a censor nor would I want that kind of responsibility.  But this shit (pardon me) is beyond the pale.
The punishment hahahaha, punishment?  Isn’t that at all.  These pieces of absolute worthless filth should get the very same treatment and more, that they dealt out to the victim here.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
