Student from Longridge went on drunken rampage

7:10am Wednesday 7th March 2012 in Longridge

A TALENTED art student went on a mindless wrecking spree in his Longridge neighbourhood.

Blackburn magistrates heard Luke William Haslam caused £1,000 worth of damage to cars and property during a drunken rampage.

The following day he went round and apologised to his neighbours and made arrangements to pay for some of the damage.

And two of them responded by writing references saying Haslam’s behaviour had been totally out of character.

Haslam, 18, of Parlick Avenue, Longridge, pleaded guilty to three charges of criminal damage and asked for four similar offences to be taken into consideration. He was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said two of the victims were woken by shouting and banging and looked out to see Haslam damaging vehicles and a fence.

“This was the kind of wanton, random damage the infuriates people, causing a lot of inconvenience,” said Miss Allan. “He had no explanation for what he did that night.”

Ivan Dickinson, defending, said Haslam, an art and design student, had made peace with his neighbours.

“It is a small community and he knows all the people who the property belonged to,” said Mr Dickinson. “This was a drink fuelled spree which he deeply regrets.”

Mr Dickinson said a recent national sculpture competition had attracted 12,000 entries and Haslam’s effort was one of just 20 to be chosen to be exhibited at a London gallery.

Even if it's not there you want to blame something else!

Cha'mone MF - do you have any experience of alcohol at all? Do you know it's effects? Have you ever known an alcoholic? Have you ever known a problem drinker? Have you ever seen people act stupidly just off alcohol?

If not - have you been living on a dessert island for your whole life?

it's silly, it's dangerous, and it's irresponsible trying to blame other things.

Booze is clearly bad news - everyone knows that, it's no use denying it. It's fun yes - but there are very clearly massive downsides directly from it's use. You can read about them every day with stories like this.

You don't read about problem cannabis users like this though do you? That's because cannabis makes it's users cautious and considerate, not reckless and stupid like alcohol clearly does.

So good I posted it not once, not twice, but three times.

No idea how that happened? I did drink an awful lot last night though. It has a lot to answer for.

I just wish there was a safer legal alternative.

Blah blah blah, are you still out of your head from yesterday, another side effect of over indulgence, too much blabbing on about nothing. Sent me to sleep yeaterday still, I needed a nap. i hope you don't share a needle as you seem to be hyped all the time. You need time out, maybe a visit to rehab or something. That should get you back to normality of just enjoying a quiet drink in an evening instaed of all the DNA altering chemicals you take.

this is less about drugs and more about him being a c0ck.

I'd take a pin hammer to his drawing hand if he'd smashed my motor. I don't spend time driving slowly over speed bumps and pot holes to have a halfwit like this wreck my Hillman Imp
