Ok this is a mean joke to play in patients, but I would be lying if i said I didn’t laugh when I read this
god forbid someone have hobbies
Your honour, i ask for leniency due to the objectively funny nature of the crime
Game idea, grim reaper has been arrested, you have to fill in for him while he's in jail.
What was the crime he was charged with?
Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?
Get your hands off my penis!
causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse
Define “Reasonable”
That's what juries do.
It's the UK law term, not my words.
And even by them, it's not defined, meant to be left to the court to argue.
Going against the status quo. Fall in line or go to jail.
Gonna add on that he refused to leave when a constable asked him to, and he stole cat food and litter from somewhere else.
Sounds like he might have a few problems
Impersonating an officer of the law
Everybody needs a hobby.
Shut up! Shut up you American. You always talk, you
Americans, you talk and you talk and say ‘Let me tell
you something’ and ‘I just wanna say this’, Well you’re
dead now, so shut up.
Down voters haven't seen the movie...
Even if they did, they didn't get it.
"It's a mister Death, he's here about the reaping or something?"
"Hey... I didn't even eat the mousse!"
costumes are illegal now smh smh
slowly starts undressing
How do you mean, this isn't appropriate either!!?
Everyting gwan be irie
If only the Grim Reaper looked like Brad Pitt!

"...pleaded guilty to causing a nuisance without reasonable excuse"
thats a crime? And what would constitute a reasonable excuse?
hey, can we arrest trump for that if he comes back to the uk?
Lol no that would be reasonable and that doesn't exist anymore in this timeline.
Likely if he had done it to people he knew, and by extension that this particular prank wouldn't excessively affect them negatively.
Pranking your friends in public, poor taste, but possibly acceptable. Pranking random members of the public, at what could be the worst time of their life...

Mate, he didn't have his nuisance license. As punishment he will now be forced to observe the 3pm tea alarm with a glass of luke warm water.

I'm very tall and one time I was in my 97 year old grandmother's room because I'd had to use her bathroom and she was half awake and said, "No! Go away!" and I was like, damn, ok. But I think she thought I was Death! :/
She was the best. So close to MLK during the Dream speech that she sat on the steps and couldn't see him. Black Panthers would salute her white self. The best. I asked her what the most impactful technology she'd seen in her lifetime was and she said, "the next one." So cool. There's a picture of her and her crew with Jimmy Carter and she's standing in front of him. What a badass.
At first glance it is really funny. But of course the people who were genuinely affected are the victims. And nothing funny about it.
Reading the article I don't think the guy is actually 100 there. I believe he is struggling and just acting out - not that it is an excuse.
Gillespie also stole £30 to £40 of cat food and litter from a local Pets at Home on March 26, along with food and drink from Sainsbury's in Llandudno on May 28, a court heard. He was ordered to pay £100 in fines, £100 in cost to the Crown Prosecution Service and £50 in compensation.

hospitals is where death hangs out, as non-coporeal entity.
Someone has to do this around the US capitol buildings.
Someone needs to dress as the grim reaper and rock up to whatever hospital Mitch McConnell is staying at. When security tries to turn him away, he can simply say, "I'm here to collect Mitch McConnell".
