Isn't it the truth that the youth hurled a brick at a van and that it inadvertantly struck a 4 year old girl passenger in the face? It is indeed tragic. However, media hype gets in the way of truth.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
If you throw a brick at a moving van and that brick strikes one of the occupants this may be, strictly speaking, by some definitions, inadvertent, but it is hardly an unforeseeable consequence. And would you be playing with words like this if it were your girl? Or would you be trying to find out where the yob lived so you could tear his head off and shit down the neck?
