Absolutely disgusting. Sounds very similar to a couple of incidents that happened in Yalding a few nights before.

"Angler killed in kent"?

I got some messages from a friend about this earlier as he lives there and there were armed police running about. He said the chap was out walking his dog, nothing to do with angling at all.

Either way it's sh*t news

Only going by what the news is saying.

"A fisherman in his 70s has died after a group of young poachers allegedly pelted him with rocks in the grounds of a 15th century castle."

Either way whether he was walking his dog or fishing its terrible

Yeah, but people have lost a loved one....

Putting up a thread on a public forum like you have trying to sensationalise the "angling" aspect isn't really on in my opinion

Its in the national news im not trying to sensationalise anything. Seeing as this is an angling forum i thought it was relevant.

If it turns out he was walking his do then il remove this thread and put it on a dog walking forum

You're correct to post on an angling forum, it's relevant of course.

The quote again:

"A fisherman in his 70s has died after a group of young poachers allegedly pelted him with rocks in the grounds of a 15th century castle."

Saying that, there is a 'news central' hub where the media get their info from. The police were all crisis actors.

Lockdown still getting to some clearly!

Guy's been murdered and people going about if he's actually a fisherman or not...it was a witness statement to the media which said it was a fisherman btw, if anyone has read any of the articles.

You've made some epic bull**** posts, but this may be your finest

A guy died, no need for this.....

Don't be a arse all your FUBAR life, it was an ironic post. Whoosh, straight over your head. And justify your own daft input instead of using mine as an attempt at deflection.

Best.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
