I admire you thoughts skid shoe but sadly in the real world little or nothing will happen to them, because we have something called human rights legislation and we have to look after these poor souls and look at how society has neglected them and made them what they are today... I would opt for a more radical approach and remove their human rights as they have infringed the human rights of the baby that was waiting to be airlifted for treatment.
I would remove various bits of them very slowly.... Oh and publicly so others of similar ilk can be made aware!

As with most cases of this sort, their names and addresses will be published in the local rag once the case is over...
Well done to the Pilot for his self control.
On a different day in a different location and a different crew, it might have been a totally different headline.
"Youth Slips on Helicopter Skid and Bangs Head on Fuel Filler Cap While Trying to Escape after Attacking Air Ambulance Crew, as They Try to Save Babys Life".
Bring back the stocks on a Saturday morning.
Stop their benefits.
Tatoo on their foreheads, 'NO PAINKILLERS TO BE USED IF IN NEED OF AIR AMBULANCE'.
No doubt all that will happen is they will have a nice little visit to the unit and the opportunity to say sorry to the crew and managers. And I bet the crew dont even get to utilise a spinal board, arm/leg restraints and a 3 Wood

Hmmm I know it's not the done thing commercially. But I do know of one or two of those HEMS drivers who are ex Blades/Booties/Paras.......... hmmmm wonder if the law would fall on their side if they slipped back into hooligan mode. Prob not but nice thought.

volrider, unfortunately, I think we would have some form of human duty to help. In times of war the Geneva convention kicks in.
'But we aren't at war with them', you may say. However isn't every law abiding tax/NI paying, working person at war with the blood sucking parasites that end up doing this sort of thing!

Carry a small portable camera with you, modern mobile phones will do. When they start scroteing or mouthing off, take their picture. It works wonders, they soon disappear.

Of course skidkid, because if they are prepared to go as far as throttle you, a mobile phone would be the ultimate deterrent.
These O2 thieves, are probably actual O2 thieves. (other mobile phone networks are available) The only use a mobile phone would be is to keep it firmly in your palm as you defend yourself, or in the old days when there used to be one, to poke an eye out with the aerial.

Your right Sid we are at war with these anti-social cripples of society. However maybe we should ditch the Geneva convention, the Human Rights legislation and just knee cap the barstewards... or go by the Taliban rules of engagement..Ooops I can feel a moderators cold breath on my shoulder, ah well another 4 weeks away

Of course, Silsoe Sid, if you are in the process of actually being throttled, then a mobile phone or camera is not much use. But being throttled is pretty rare.
However, if you catch them in the early stages with a crafty picture it works wonders. I know from long experience. You've also got some evidence of the scrote if trouble should develop!

Skidkid,
That last post makes no sense.
As being grabbed around the neck (throttled) has happened in 100% of the cases reported here on PPRuNe, how is that rare?
Well, as these scrotes were apprehended without the use of a camera, (how much trouble do you need to record or indeed have the chance to?) I would argue that a mobile would be better utilised as a 'tool' rather than as an evidence gathering machine.
