Legal defence fund, help Carver!

[st00ji]

knowledge (or lack of) regarding the legality of his actions is irrelevant since ignorance of the law is not accepted as a defence.

clearly the police believe one or more laws have been broken, hence the prosecution.

(hope you get off, hah)

[scracha]

oh .. let me know where you're gonna be sent up .. i'll send your new cellmate a carton of smokes

I'll send the cellmate some KY Jelly so he can break Carver in nice n' gentle.

Sensible idea would have been to put a few clips on youtube with a linky to credit card to pay the "defense fund" and download the full video.

You don't think base jumpers have getaway cars for no reason do ya?

The activity of BASE jumping is not illegal.
The potential to be tresspassing on property, is what can be charged.

George bush sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Iraq and Afganistan because God told him to.

Surely Carver can get away with riding over a bridge because God told him too?

[Katman]

I'd run with the insanity plea.

[Nagash]

I'll stick in a bit on the next pay day.

Not even going to bother addressing whether or not he deserves it.. it's all opinion innit?

[Swoop]

I'd run with the insanity plea.

Yup. The majority of your posts confirm that.

I fully cant believe that rational adults are pledging money to this wasted cause.
It looks like sad attention seeking behaviour.
If you really think the act of riding a motorcycle illegally is heroic you need to get out from behind you computer desk a bit more.

Not getting into an arguement re specifics more that they know they will be in trouble with the law if they do it.

[Grubber]

Wot he said times 100. Fuck man...next time I get busted for being a naughty boy...I'll just ask every hard working KBer for some bucks then eh?

You're an attention seeking twat...you got more attention than you bargined for. Ask the 'o' mighty one to help you out.

Oh and what he said! I have 2 kids at home that i would like to send to uni.Let me see....donate my money to an absolute f......in idiot or see that my kids get an education so they won't turn out to be an absolute f.....in idiot.NO CONTEST ya jerk. What a cheek even asking.Crawl back in ya hole dude!

Hardly. I posted up the thread for this.

Ive paid thousands and thousands of dollors in fines in my past, Ive never asked for any help paying them as they were rightly deserved.

Ive been convicted of dangerous driving, and this isnt.

A fuckin hero??? W.T.F. fighting & dying for your country's freedom once made a man a hero, Now it seems you just need to do something idiotic & not the least bit brave & brag about it loudly.
Oh yea, hes a legend, give the man a medal for bravery!!! Grow up.

Too much!!!! You got it in one dude. So many rational quotes on here to mention. In a nutshell....you were a dork mate and the time to pay is now here.

Slow learner?? I got the message after a very few fines.

[PrincessBandit]

Oooh, someone being charged over a video on the internet

Now, if it were a dodgy sex tape, that might be a bit more exciting (then again, perhaps not); and I don't recall anyone else being up on the bridge with him....definitely a solo effort.

He cant answer that on here GB....well not twice anyway....

Yeah, double jeopardy and all that?

Say I had a vision in my dreams and this is what God asked me to do, I mean that is the Mormon way is it not!

If that fails you could plead INSANITY

Joseph Smith told him to do it.

[ManDownUnder]

I don't believe I am saying this but... a shit fight in the middle of this thread ain't helping anyone.

Carver is totally entitled to legal defence. We all are, all that's happening is a friend of his is going into bat for him. I'd like to think I have friends that would do the same for me if there was a cause they believed in

If people want to contribute they can, if not - don't. I don't believe it was a ever a complicated issue and the usual KB BS is simply complicating things (although it could also be rarking up the supporters thereby getting Carver some additional support funds).

I simply hope justice is done.
