Do you think Robert Hooper was entitled to overturn someone’s car because it was parked on his land? |  | | |  |

I think that needs a link for people to know what is being described.

I would be interested to know what other measures he had taken to get the car removed, but suspect that no one else would have been interested in removing it. Presumably it was an obstruction and the owner was in no fit state to push it out of the way. Makes one wonder how it got there and whether the owner was in a fit state to drive when it did! |  |

I watched the video and read the story just now. I can only assume there were some very strong mitigating circumstances. Fair do’s to the chap though - he wasn’t messing about. Loved the way he just shoved the car, on its side further out of his drive. |  |

Sounds like the driver punched him when he asked them to move it, surprising result though you would have though they would want people to call the police first ? |  |

Imho the farmer went a bit ott.
However, his guests seem to have inconsistent stories
The 21-year-old, who had been visiting Low Force waterfall with friends and had drunk up to seven bottles of lager, was knocked to the floor by the rails.
The car had been parked by Mr Burns' friend, Elliott Johnson, at Mr Hooper's property in Newbiggin-in-Teesdale after suffering a double puncture.
..
Mr Burns, who had been drinking with friends, said he was intending to walk 52 miles back to South Tyneside.
So who'd been driving when it suffered a double puncture?
As for walking 52 miles home...hmm |  |

The owner of the car seems the sort of sensible fellow who will now merely pursue an insurance claim for the damage, and not take the law into his own hands. |  |

It wasn't just parked on his land, it appears to have been left in the end of his drive, blocking access. It's also where he works. If they genuinely had flat tyres, why didn't they push it up onto the verge - there looks to have been plenty of room there. The least they could have been was apologetic, not (as is alleged) obnoxious and violent. Let alone proceeding to get p1ssed. |  |
