THE owner of a Workington takeaway outlet was attacked, racially abused and threatened with a large knife by a man who then hurled crockery at police officers from his first-floor flat.

But a defence barrister representing Army veteran Melvyn Stephenson, 41, said his behaviour was the result post-traumatic stress.

At Carlisle Crown Court, the defendant, of Wilson Street, Workington, was being sentenced after he pleaded guilty to an affray and a racially aggravated common assault on the business owner.

Prosecutor Gerard Rogerson set out the facts.

The victim was outside his Wilson Street business - called Delicious - at 8.30pm on December 19, talking to his delivery drivers, when Stephenson approached.

He had his chest "puffed out" and he looked as though he was breathing hard. Moments after the shop owner asked him if he was okay, the defendant threw a punch towards the man, who was able to block it with his arm.

Stephenson then began yelling racist abuse at the takeaway owner.

 

"Members of the public were also present and began challenging him about his racist behaviour," said Mr Rogerson.

The defendant then walked away and went to his first floor flat along the street but soon after he appeared at his window, holding a large kitchen knife as he shouted to his victim: "I'm going to come and stab you."

 

.....

"He was clearly agitated and very drunk," said Mr Rogerson.

The defendant was arrested after police forced entry to his flat and used a taser device to bring him under control. He told officers he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of his military service.

Judith McCullough, defending, expanded on that point for the court.

She said: "He was in the Army for six years and saw active service in Iraq and Afghanistan.....

Judge Barker jailed Stephenson for six months.

That's something my generation witnessed being brought into being, and I can tell you around my ends black and brown men and even young teenagers, beat, stabbed and axed some respect into many whites, who were racist as f**k. So if you've grown up in the wake of this, and closeted too, don't be under any illusion that racism disappeared because of goodwill, least of all white goodwill. Many of those racist tossers are still about, they weren't exactly killed. They are in positions of power now.  That has implications. 

 

Yes there IS racism but offenders do not easily get off no matter who they are.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
