The world knows we here in the US have some crazies….those that try to drive through road blocs and attack the White House or those that shoot kids playing hide and seek or those that cannot remember that they have kids in the car and leave them to die in a hot car…..some times we feel we are alone with the crazies…..but we are not…..even our friends in the UK are dealing with these morons….
Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, his wife Sophie Hunter, and their three young children were inside their north London home when a man kicked through the iron garden gate, threw a plant at the garden wall, and took a knife to the property’s intercom system. “I know you’ve moved here, I hope it burns down,” the 34-year-old suspect shouted before fleeing, the Guardian reports, citing court records. He was identified as Jack Bissell, a former chef at the five-star Beaumont Hotel, based on DNA taken from spit spewed at the intercom, per court documents. It’s unclear when exactly the attack occurred. Details of the case were concealed until a successful challenge to the restrictions, per the BBC.
Shortly before the attack, Bissell had told a shopkeeper that he planned to break in to Cumberbatch’s house and burn it down, prosecutors said. He reportedly offered no defense for his actions. He pleaded guilty to criminal damage on May 10 and was fined roughly $310. Bissell—described by some outlets as the actor’s former chef—was also handed a three-year restraining order that will require him to stay away from the family and the area in which they live. “Naturally all of the family were absolutely terrified and thought this guy was going to get in and hurt them,” a source tells the Daily Mail, per the BBC. “Benedict and Sophie have had many sleepless nights since worrying that they may be targeted again.”
What did Cumberbatch do to this guy?
He was absolutely evil as Khan in Into Darkness….but did that deserve this type of crazy?
What did Cumberbatch and his wife do?
Please any UK readers that have more info pass it on…..

They phoned the Police and stayed safe inside their house. We don’t have guns here, so no need for a householder to kill anyone for fun. That’s what they do in America, not England. (Fortuntaely.) 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
*Fortunately*
Any news why this guy was up0set? chuq
Nobody knows, he might just be crazy. This from the BBC.
‘It is not clear why Bissell targeted Cumberbatch and he offered no defence in court. He has a previous conviction for theft, three warnings for offences against property, a public order offence and a drug offence. In 2015, he was photographed being arrested during protests against military intervention in Syria in central London.’
Thanx for the update….I appreciate it chuq
