Pull the other one.....

I giggled when I read 'suspended' sentence given that he was waving one leg around!

What an idiot!

Bare chested? With that figure? No wonder people complained! ;-)

"You took your prosthetic leg off and were waving it at those behind you. You were spreading yourself around."
This sounds like the makings of a new dance craze!

does he have a one legged wife called Eileen?

I would have thought he would have been into punk.


Can you imagine the dude doing the pogo?


When the cops were first called to the Guildhall balcony they thought they were dealing with a drunk.


Control room got a radio message back "Sarge- he's legless!"

With only one leg does that make him a pedestal fan?

He should be prosecuted for crimes against fashion :-)

Oh come on....dexy's

Apparantley when trying to escape he was found running round in cicles....

He may have been found guilty of ABH, but that's absolutely no excuse for some of the offensive comments above.

You've gone out on a limb havn't you...

Let's hope none of you ever end up an amputee.

Or if you do, I hope you have a dam good sense of humour about it.

It's not Miller I'm worried about, but there will be other people out thee reading these comments that won't find them very amusing.

Why am I suprised. Southampton's a haven for bigots of all types. Sensitivity towards the disabled is clearly an ask too far.

OK I hold my hands up and admit to a silly post.

However - I have a pal who lost both legs in a motorbike accident and he jokes about it all the time. That's how it is with any kind of disability and I'm sure that most of us idiots do not really wish to 'offend' (that word again) anyone.


Not everybody is like him so it's a fair comment

This gentleman was in court on a fairly serious charge and it follows on that it will attract the daft responses such as mine.


It goes with this territory

Boring prig! All the disabled - sorry, differently abled - people I know have a wicked sense of humour and are most adept at poking fun at themselves.

Get a life saddo - none of these comments are the least bit offensive.

It's not a new dance it's called the hokey-cokey.....You put your left leg in, your left leg out, your left leg in then you swing it all about........

Poking fun at yourself is the perogative of those individuals, not yours.

King Mush's response is far more reasonable and measured, and makes you look an utter tw*t in comparison.

If not, I suggest you stop speaking on behalf of all disabled people of all varieties.

Redback, you need to lighten up a touch, this man showed no sensitivity when waving his false leg around, what about the victim he punched and his wife who this disabled man scared witless.

Frankly he deserves to be ridiculed for wearing such dodgey clothes to court.

People will always have a bit of fun at someone else's expense, it doesn't make them bad people.

Reasoned response Saints - but I'm not concerned for this particular individual. It's the effect these word have on OTHER amputees that's the case in point. Many of whom lost a limb in service.

One minute Echo commenters are up in arms for the Tigers, the next they're taking the p*** out of people who have lost a limb.

You see the connection?

Welcome home boys! What - you lost a leg in Helmand? Ha ha ha!!!

It makes no sense.

Redback, Point taken but knowing many ex forces personnel as I do who have lost limbs, their sense of humour kept them going in times of real heartache for them and their families...

A joke from the my days in the army,

I wounded soldier shouts to his comrades, I've lost my leg, the reply from his mate is, Oh no you haven't it's over here...this was told many times on the wards of the military hospital Woolich, every man jack present laughed at this, even those who had lost their leg/legs... Disabled squaddies don't need defending..they would probably be laughing at this fool..

Yep, I appreciate that. But that's the perogative of those affected, not the able bodied.

It's very much akin to the way certain sections of the black community have reclaimed the N word. It doesn't make it okay for me (as a white man) to post comments about "N*****s".

Yep - best we leave it before it tangentialises into something completely different. I have to admit I quite liked your squaddie joke.

A civil discussion - on the Echo's pages - wonders will never cease! Cheers.

Some sensible comments floating about.


To be fair - this particular story does tend to provoke a light hearted response.

Miller displayed eccentric behaviour by waving his artificial leg around - this indicates that he does it on a regular basis and for a laugh/reaction etc?

I've seen many people whip out their false teeth/glass eyeand let an artificial arm slide down their sleeve.

Nobody is really being 'bigoted' although some may be 'offended' - what's new?

Redback:

"It's very much akin to the way certain sections of the black community have reclaimed the N word. It doesn't make it okay for me (as a white man) to post comments about "N*****s"

Many blacks call us 'honkies' Are any of us 'offended'?


French call us 'Les rosbifs' Do we retaliate against the frogs?


Irish tell gags about 'Kerrymen' etc etc The Germans are well represented in the banter stakes

I could write a very long list of similar terms that relate to any number of countries, races etc so what does it all boil down to?


We are aware of the N word and its connotations/history etc but it's only a word.

Lenny Bruce had it right all those years ago but he was deemed 'offensive' at that very straight laced time

Complaining about offence posts while using foul language adapted to evade the swear filter, now that is amusing!

What the Echo doesn't report is that the chap has previous convictions for violence, theft and drugs, and also Judge Boggis summed up by saying that the couple did not provoke him at all.

Plurrrrrlease get a sense of perspective here!! We're taking the mick out of him, as a individual who is a violent idiot. We all would never dream of walking up to someone in the street and abusing them because they had one limb - it doesn't bother us or them (and I know someone who had diabetes who had half their leg removed) that of course would be wrong....

My two sons are disabled and one of my closest friends uses a wheelchair. She wouldn't take offence at this, she would laugh like a drain. If we take ourselves too seriously life isn't worth living! Obviously no-one is having a go at people with one limb in general, just this blithering numpty who really ought to know better! He deserves everything that is thrown at him, rather unlike the people who were at the end of him threatening them with his false leg! If you use your disability to intimidate people then you cannot expect people to respect it!

No-one here is slagging off people with disabilities in general, just him! Frankly, after his behaviour he deserves little respect about anything!

WHAT the hell are you on reality man my ARSE

funny how you just turned up, with appropriate disability at this point isn't it.... hmmmmm... wonder if you were put up to it? I guess we'll never know!

I will state again as these comments are not directed at disabled people in general I really don't see what the problem is!? (speaking as a mother of two disabled sons whose disability is very visual)....

If you're offended, then I suggest you turn off computer. Or spend 5 mins on YouTube and you will see stuff that is really horrifically awful against disabled people, and by genuinely horrible bigots who have nothing better to do. People's comments here are hardly the same thing, particularly as he used his disability to intimidate people and has obviously done it before! We are all intelligent enough to realise that this is a one-off and not tar amputees with the same brush - now that would be daft!

ps (is 'tar' and 'brush' politically incorrect??)

freemantlegirl2, - you’re absolutely spot on…..

chunkybutt is from down the coast, and lacks any intelligence or back bone…perhaps he/she also lost a brain as well as the other bits and pieces...

The majority of comments are good clean fun, but some have got the hump and blown things out of all proportion…
