A judge stunned a courtroom when he told an ASBO thug he 'deserved a good kicking' for punching a woman police officer's private car.

Speaking off-the-cuff, Judge Anthony Scott-Gall told binge-drinking Dexter Vidal he was 'not surprised' the WPC's two grown-up sons had confronted him in the street after he attacked their family car.

Judge Scott-Gall told the court: 'I'm not surprised he was given a good kicking, it's what he deserved.

'If someone punched my car then I would make sure, if I had two sons, that he was given more of a good kicking.'

But the judge added: 'Possibly not having regard to the job one holds down.'

After dealing with the case a sentencing hearing at Lewes Crown Court, the judge turned to the press box and said: 'Lest the press think the judge conducts a vigilante campaign against people that terrorise his neighbourhood and his car, he doesn't and they haven't - and I have one son, not two.'

Vidal, 20, of Eastbourne, East Sussex, took out his frustration on PC Ginny Jupp's car after a late-night row with his pregnant girlfriend who lived next door, causing £400 worth of damage, the court heard.

Drunken thug Dexter Vidal 'deserved a good kicking' for punching a policewoman's family car, Judge Anthony Scott-Gall said

When I saw the newspaper headline I thought ''Yay! Finally a straight talking judge reflecting what the rest of us are thinking!''.

Then when I read the article, I was all ''WTF??''!!

I wonder if the good ol' judge wouldn't have said this thuglet deserved a 'good kicking' if he had punched his pregnant girlfriend instead of the car? (excuse me, the policewomans car)

Apparently, it's ok to retaliate against a yob if you are a policewomans son, defending her car from attack. But woe betide you if you step outside to retaliate against someone who is smashing up your house, or attacking you or your kids! (and you are not a policewomans son!)
