Useless judge yet again - should have been jailed.

A 60-year-old cyclist was beaten up in a road rage incident.

Sheriff Sara Matheson told 31-year-old Martin MacKinnon, of Culduthel Mains Court, Inverness that if he committed a further assault, he was getting “in the territory of a prison sentence” due to his four previous assault convictions.

But the sheriff said that having heard the evidence in his trial, read the background report and the efforts he had made to start his own business, she would only impose a compensation order, rather than custody.

MacKinnon had been found guilty of assaulting a 60-year-old to his injury in Ross Avenue, Inverness on May 2, 2020, by punching him on the head, knocking him to the ground, standing on his arm and repeatedly punching and kicking him to the body all to his injury.

He then threw the man’s bicycle across the road and damaged it.

The court heard a dispute arose after MacKinnon had driven past the cyclist..

He was ordered to pay £1200 compensation.

You can't jail a judge for doing their job.

Have you ever thought of becoming a judge? You could do the jury and
executioner parts while you're at it.

Mason knows everything.

He even "knew" that something had happened at a BP AGM when the people
he accused of doing it weren't even there (and weren't BP shareholders
so would not have been admitted).

That didn't prevent him from "knowing" that they were there and they had
done something that was never done.

He has a very special kind of... something.

Kill a pedestrian whilst riding a defective fairy-bike not fitted with
any brakes and fairy-riding full pelt into the hapless victim?

One gets the strong impression that although the unfortunate man was
punched on the head, knocked to the ground, his arm stood on, and
repeatedly punched and kicked to the body, the greatest part of the
crime was his bicycle being thrown across the road.

I just love the malformed sense of proportion exhibited by the cycling
community.

I reckon that this piece of scum will suffer more having to shell out this large wedge as he is probably used to being in jail.
He'd be at home in the nick. :-)
