Take leafletter to police and give statements and also flyer that he gave you, even if its just an idle threat, you can't let these bullies get away with it

I would give him a call for sure. And while I was on the phone remind him of his membership of the Fed. His behavior is disgusting.

Do as per previous post. Take leafletter to the police and make statements. The guy is in serious poo for making specific threats about shooting, what a scumbag.

Blimy boys-calm down.
Could have been 'dramatised' by the canvasser.

The 'bully' gave your lad a flyer-give him a call, say "my canvasser said you had something you wanted to say to me..." Then see what he's like.
Don't judge him till you've heard with your own ears what he has to say.

Report to the cozzers. Forget it then, unless it kicks off, then you have history of the prat. Those that threaten aren't the problem. Rarely comes to anything. I wouldn't get involved with knuckle draggers now. I used to meet up with them and calm 'em down. Can't be arsed now.

Take it this was bromborough? hes come up to me in the past hasn't really said any of the above though but that's what hes like by the sounds of things he was trying to put across to me.

What colour is there van black? i would defiantly go the police... there was a big thing with the police and window cleaners a few years ago around this area from people getting threatened i imagine its him.. so i would take a trip to the cop shop.

Don't judge him till you've heard with your own ears what he has to say.

the guy leafleting isn;t the type to dramatise and was visibly shaken by the incident.  he's no young lad himself and has dropped over 70000 leaflets for me over the past year.  this is the first incident.

there's also not a lot of room for error on the 'tell him i'm gonna put a bullet in his head and blow up his van' statement.

Do not contact him. Tell the police straight away. If he has records of you contacting him he could say anything, you'll have no hard evidence only him. Then it becomes tit for tat in the eyes of the fuzz.

If he thinks he can get away with death threats he's wrong! IF it turns out to be true that hew did this he's in serious trouble!!!  >:(

hey Dave,

i guess it could well have been Bromborough.  they're leafleting Eastham and upwards this week so that makes sense.

i've reported it to the police tonight and decided there's no point in calling him myself.

i;m waiting for them to call me, but they're interviewing by leafleter tonight.

every time i'm threatened i report it to the police and every time that is the end of it...  hope this is the same.

my leafleter's dropping another 10000 in the area over this week so i guess if he was annoyed today...  his mood aint gonna get much better as the week goes on!  :'(

every other time ive reported threats its been ex employees or job applicants.  every time the police say there's no specific threat so they cant do anything, and then i ask them to call them to warn them that i have reported them...  which they then do.

this time its a little different as it is a specific threat of violence to me and my property so i guess the police will be a little more proactive

Report him to the police.

They will take it seriously.

When one of the dunderheads on here from Scotland tried to intimidate me I got the police involved. in hindsight it was funny, cos when I returned the calls, he wouldnt answer his phone, the dopey tw@t had used his wifes phone thinking he wouldnt be traced. Then tried to blame his staff when he was confronted by them.

Wrong way to deal with a threat posting on a forum,  if you feel your life is at risk then go to the police, and let them deal with it !    Do you really feel threatened ?    You heard the so called threat from another person ?

Grow a pair, and move on fella, in my opinion the people that make threats are the ones that can't back it up.

about the year 2000,back when i was a mechanic, i put a new clutch in a car belonging to a man called Dodge, he drove off without paying so i rang the police .  Dodge didnt like that  and later the gypsy overlord (eastern region )left an answerphone message with the promise of my demise .  i had one of those old answerphones with a tape inside so the police took it away as hard evidence

 i laff about it now but at the time the C.I.D. got involved , tho it was hardly a manhunt  Dodge and his lot were spoken to .

about the year 2000,back when i was a mechanic, i put a new clutch in a car belonging to a man called Dodge, he drove off without paying so i rang the police .  Dodge didnt like that  and later the gypsy overlord (eastern region )left an answerphone message with the promise of my demise .  i had one of those old answerphones with a tape inside so the police took it away as hard evidence

 i laff about it now but at the time the C.I.D. got involved , tho it was hardly a manhunt  Dodge and his lot were spoken to .

You class this as a contract being put on your head? Lol a slight overreaction imo.



part of me felt honoured , that id been chosen to get shot at , bit daft that

You're right; there should be some sort of training for this sort of thing.

yes, i reported it to the police yesterday and gave a statement today after work.  they have to speak to the leafleter still, and then i guess they speak to the numpty.

the police asked me if i took the threat seriously and i said that yes i had to.  as he was threatening me directly, my van that was kept on my property where my wife and infant son live, and that i have 3 young staff members, all with family too, i had to take it seriously and reported it to the police because of this.

Police have both of our statements now.

unfortunately as the incident happened on the Wirral (Merseyside), Rob lives in Ellesmere port, and i live in Chester we are caught between police force boundaries.

this means that the officers who have taken the statements wont follow them up and have passed thier work onto Merseyside police to act.

I'll chase them up tomorrow to see what is happening.

they have registered my home and business address as critical (i think) so that we get flagged up as high priority if we call in

Richard what you , your cleaners or your canvassers need to do is to respond to any confrontation in an extremley camp and effeminate voice. Almost inviting mockery from your aggressor, then when they (and they will) question or assume your sexuality (i.e your nothing but a big poofter) call the police and tell them its a bullying thing because they think you're gay. That will get a quicker response, and also a more thorough response. If ya can't beat them, join them !!!
 It looks like you've already been fed the we'll get someone else to look at it crap. If they where taking it anyway serious they'd of been out to him by now. Given your allegation its hard to believe nothing has happened yet from their side. Besides the Police are too busy making late night movies showing people caught ping on a wall after being on the ale all night to worry about your mundane gun and blow your vans up threats.
 Not sure if i got my point across very well that the Police are a waste of time. Incase i never, they are.

Back in the day When i was a lemon, I told someone I was gonna kill them. They called the Rozzas on me and I got nicked for it.  Spent a night in the clink and cps charged me with making a "threat to kill" yes it's a criminal offence that can lead to a prosecution!

I got fined about a hundred quid, and a conditional discharge. Do it again and it's 7 days at hmp!

Can't understand why this guy hasn't been nicked?

As tough as he reckons he is, getting nicked is highly inconvenient.

Don't think the law has been changed, tell the old bill you wanna press charges. No one should have to put up with this kind of threat. I fully deserved my punishment. In retrospect I should have been dealt with even harsher.

Completely unacceptable behaviour.

Easy to say just "knock him out" or "torch his van" but in reality if your capable of those things, why are you cleaning windows? You should be a bouncer or a hitman!

Just my tuppence worth.

Ps, if he comes near your house, just accidentally run him over!

Richard you cannot let him get away with this mate! please keep us updated on the matter! I really can't stand bullies. Up until i started doing martial arts i was a wimp and was bullied at school and have been a coward most of my life. Now the tables have turned! The thing is with me though is i maybe sometimes am a little too quick to respond nowadays.

I'm not giving it the big one but i'm not so sure i could let this kind of thing lie, I have a feeling i would be round his house banging on his door! I'd like to think though i would do what your doing now and going about it in the proper way!


Because if you go taking the law into your own hands it can backfire seriously! Before you know it you hurt him (maybe even accidentily kill him) then what!? All because of some numpty!

I think the best thing is to learn self defence (like i have!) BUT be able to laugh at people like this and see there inferiority's. And push his buttons to get back at him like others have said on here! You know... Like when you see him shout abuse at him and just annoy him until he wishes he hadnt said anything! All the while knowing if it comes down to it you can take him  ;) ;D

hey george,

i'll keep you all posted on this...  just no news about it at the moment. i'm waiting for a call off merseyside police with an update.

we dropped a further 10000 leaflets in his area this week, and are in eastham again on tuesday for our round there so nothing changed in my outlook in that sense.

what i have going for me is that my guy who works for me is actually a retired pro kickboxer and a current cage fighter.  he's only 5'2 and looks friendly enough, but if anyone tries to bully him they will find themselves getting hit.  in some ways it's not ideal, as i know he has a short fuse with this sort of thing, but at least i don't need to worry about him  ;)

as for myself...  i;m 6'2 and never been in a fight in my life.  but i;m a stubborn guy and dont like being pushed around...  so i;ll stick with the police route and will be happy to pick up the guys work when he ends up cell mates with Richy Wilts  :o

The police WILL investigate this properly, we had a guy text us and asked us to supply a drivers address or he was going to torch our vans.

The police put a trace on the mobile, and found out it was a pay and go from Tesco, eventually they spoke to the owner of the phone who said he sold it months ago.

Not had any threats since,

Any PAYG can also be traced. Most people who threaten others are generally thick as $hit. With a PAYG phone if you pay for your top up online, or over a counter with a credit or debit card or at an ATM machine at ANY time then your knicked. They haven't got the nouse to think of that. That twot off CIU, Gordon (whoops! ;D) up in Scotland who threatened me had to resort to lying to the rozzers that it was his staff doing the threatening on his wife's phone at 19.30 at night. Why was his wife associating with his staff at 19.30 on a Saturday night? Perhaps she'd been playing away, again  ;D

My links were to highlight the case that there is crime in Cornwall,

I could easily have a look and find similar links to what you have posted, just you because you posted them doesnt mean they cancel out the big crimes

I was purely making a joke out of the situation.

Of course there is crime in Cornwall, I'm not naive enough to think there isn't, obviously serious crime too.

My original point was that the crime in Cornwall isn't on the same scale as in Merseyside. Surely we can agree on that?

Nothing new to report.

I've had 3 calls from police officers (all different) this week telling me they are involved and they'll follow it up and report back to me.  Latest was yesterday morning.  Still nothing done so far as I can tell. The last one asked me if I knew his name or contact details, I gave these on the first day I reported it, and again when I gave my statement, so not exactly reassuring!  I'll give them a call on Monday and make a complaint if there's no progress

This one often works in showing you are serious about wanting it sorted.

"I'm sorry but I feel you aren't taking this seriously; I feel distressed at what has happened, would you tell me what your next step is and when that is likely to be?"

If the answer is unsatisfactory then very politely say: "I'm not happy with this - please let me know the name and rank of your divisional commander (usually a Superintendent or Chief Superintendent) and also where I can write to him or her about this please?"

Using that shows you know a bit about the structure of the force and that you are intending to contact someone high enough up the chain of command that they will not wish to displease.

Then if they haven't got back to you quickly send the letter. (After asking the barrack room lawyers and frustrated journalists on CIU how best to compose it of course!  ;D)

Just got back from the police station.

They have had the owner in who made the threat and he admitted to acting aggressively and threatening, tho did not admit to making a death threat.

apparently the owner is unhappy with what is happening in the area with the number of WCs operating here nowadays and was very frustrated. he also said that he was not unhappy with us delivering leaflets, but with the leafleters knocking on his customer's doors.  of course that hasn't happened as i employ leafleters not canvassers (currently) and leafleters just dont take it upon themselves to start door knocking!

the police are nowadays apparently using 'restorative justice' and this means that he has to write a letter of apology to me, and admit what has happened.  i was given the letter today by the police.

the incident is kept on file now and is closed, but will be reopened if any further incidents occur, and what has happened will then be reopened.

if anything does happen in the future, this character has now had his chance at 'restorative justice' and will be charged.

i am happy with this outcome as it puts an end to any more time wasting activity from me, but also gives him the message that i will involve the police any time he acts like this towards myself or my staff again.

thanks for all your support  :)  i genuinely appreciate it, and was, if i am being honest, surprised and humbled by  :)

Post by: Bay View WCS on July 31, 2013, 03:48:17 pm
I think it's quite easy these days for people to make threats in the heat of the moment when they are frustrated and angry. But that does not excuse his actions and that behaviour needed to be challenged. 

I think you got the approach spot on because it is also all to easy for retaliation to occur which then escalates the issue - sometimes to the point where lives can be ruined.  By bringing the police in at the start you have made it clear that you will not accept his bullying and threatening behaviour; it has also allowed the police to view the threats from one side only rather than a 'he said, I said' standpoint. 

He has been given a clear warning by you and the police that his actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated and only a fool of epic proportions would take any further action - thus leaving you and your leaflet poster able to continue to seek work free from threats of violence.

I think this is a lesson for everyone on how a situation should be handled.

Couldn't be more pleased for you  ;)

Cheers, Tom

I had trouble with the guy years ago, so I expect he'll kick off when he gets there. Anyone on I.O.W. enjoy the trip  ;D ;D Does gardening too, so should be enough guys to upset.
