If he had been on the move the death wouldn't have happened, but alas he was static!

Neighbours described him as a "down to Earth" kind of guy. Current status unknown.

Though the police no longer are riot-trained at least they go on lots of PC-friendly (no pun intended) courses. We can reasonably expect them to treat his "tranny" sister a lot better.

@DiY rightly said this topic has generated a lot of interest.

The poor bloke might need to prepare for his inductance into the hall (or 15 minutes at least) of fame
