The vulnerability of the victim, a senior who is described as “of very small stature” was also considered aggravating. The judge noted that although Beresford was using a scooter, there was no evidence that he needed to do so because of a disability and that he was younger, bigger and stronger than the victim.
This poor man also won’t be allowed to have firearms for three years, the poor baby.
Right? That seems so crazy! Call me Mr restrictive but I think once you start punching seniors in the face, I just don’t think you’re the type of person who should have a gun.
Still unlikely he would be allowed if he applied for a license anyway due to a violent criminal record. And if he already had one, I strongly suspect this would get it revoked after a charge related to violent crime.
Would be cool if they would just say that though.
Great point!
