Bastard

Like most, I smiled when I read the headline about William Singhlagah being charged with assault with a weapon – specifically a hedgehog.

But any humour disappeared when I read this:

“He admitted to having been in possession of a hedgehog,” Constable Lyndon Reid said. “He originally claimed that the group had been playing hacky sack with it.”

I hate bastards who torment helpless animals. To throw a hedgehog at someone is unthinking. To play hacky sack with it is simply sadistic.

Of course he may be lying, but regardless not impressed.
