Robbers smash car windscreen and threaten two men (From Echo)

When you live on an island your horizons are restricted and small. This is reflected in what aspirations you have...none. Drugs, alcohol, petty lawbreaking, violence and TOWIE this is your world - these are your horizons and the CIIP pander to them. They have closed off the minds of Canvey. Let us be Independent of the mainland we hear them cry, let us make our own decisions we are independent. Except you're not, you have been brainwashed and it shows - not to you - but to us in the real world.

A 'kosh'?

Seriously, whoever was unable to spell this fairly simple four letter word needs to be put out to pasture.

As for a similar weapon, what would be similar to a cosh? Another cosh?

Seriously, who drives up close enough to 2 blokes standing in the middle of the road???
Stop some way from them and if they make their way towards you, you reverse, or slam it into 1st gear and floor the accelerator, driving the car towards them. See who chickens out first. I know it means you may have dent in your car but they will have worse and think twice before doing it again.

So your sitting in a big metal box on wheels capable of mowing down anybody in your path and you let 2 idiots smash your windows & take your stuff? Words fail me. i think some people can only blame themselves for what happens to them, they got robbed because they let them

is a kosh a 'kosher cosh?

i.e one that's been circumsized?

Yes, because he would have needed that 40 quid for the barrister who might now be defending him on the double manslaughter with a dangerous weapon charge.

Give the guy a break - he might have stopped out of curiosity or because he thought someone needed help. Once his protective bubble had been burst, he was restrained by a seatbelt at an ideal height for a battering. His car keys may have gone before the glass stopped falling.

It's down to the usual standard of (almost) English.

You wouldnt get charged for manslaughter for putting your foot down if 2 men with weapons stop your car then smash your windows and demand your money

Where do you live then? Thought we all lived in the British Isles?

What a load of twoodle
Must be away with the fairies lol

So now they have corrected "kosh" to "cosh" in the third para but left the one in the first. Sterling effort.

i would have just kept driving even running them down if they didn't get out of the road...but then i wouldn't be on Canvey at 2am....and who really stops for two men wearing balaclavas and hoods holding weapons..!

The robbers were "with kosh"? Is it like being "with child"?

I think it's ridiculous to say the driver behaved in a wrong way - I'm sure most people would be pretty phased by what happened and not really know the best way to react in an instant. I certainly would worry about running into them as I wouldn't want to be charged with manslaughter or whatever. Not much in the way of legal aid out there for us paupers these days.

I have every sympathy with the injured person here, especially remembering the poor soul who lost his life running out to confront some animals who were theiving his car. Reading the majority of the posts on here, it seems we have a generation of kids intent on violence. Why have we descended to a fourth world country? Robbers attack a normal citizen by standing in the road, and, because he didn't drive his car at full speed into them, according to some on here he is probably a coward? Hardly surprising then that the "X" on the voting slip put the Tories back in power. At least they will soon find a war to call up these uncouth yobs and get them somewhere more suited to their ethics. Roll on WW3!

Actually I think you will find that it was Bush's Puppet who took us to war based on lies, not the Tories.

Agree with all of that and all the posts saying they would drive straight at them have no idea how they would react. That said the law seems often to often favour the perpertrator rather than the victim.

Some (most?) people might not want the responsibility of two deaths; even the deaths of two scum bags.
