For those wondering why it’s been 2 weeks since last post: a house we were going to move into, fell through last minute, so we have been scrambling to find another house since the rental home we are in is up in a couple weeks. So a little crazy these days, but we will figure it out and get back on track soon! Thanks!!
We all understand man good luck with everything i hope it all works out good for your family
I wish you and your family a wonderful house and move. Much love.
@@joshuacrawford9018 thanks!
Let’s hope you can continue and find a house
Its alright take your time WE LOVE UR VIDEOS
Their lack of remorse is chilling and disgusting. Rest in peace, Andrew.
It is sickening, and it’s a sign of the times, people are too busy to raise their children and instill humane attributes as a part of their character, no sympathy, empathy, or compassion, children learn to dismiss these feelings when interacting with others, because public schools are now programming the psyches and behavioral composition by intervening and re prioritizing the order of critical mutually beneficial & supportive constructive interactive values,
What’s missing-
Sympathy
Empathy
Compassion
Sincerity
Integrity
Composure
Self Control
Discipline
Honor
Self Awareness
Humility
Shame
Regret
Remorse
Generosity
Respect
Kindness
Affection
Mutuality
Pity
Grief
Guilt
Responsibility
What’s Commonly Widespread And Undeserved -
Pride
Entitlement
Self Righteousness
Superiority
Eligibility
Immune
Empowered
Exclusive
Privileged
Indifferent
Desensitized
Immoral
Overrated
Im at a loss for words, but they only think about themselves, and can’t attribute the relevance between what harm they’ve caused others to suffer, to the way they feel when it happens to them, they feel like they’re above the law, culpability, responsibility, shame, dishonor, they have a complete mindset based upon a pre conditioned state of moral turpitude, instilled by the social machine.
Pikeys for you
Society protects the corrupt.

@@tubbo_. yeah, but what could have worn to survive that?
@@tubbo_. what equipment would have saved him from that?
When I heard that the men claimed to not have known about the cop being attached to their car I was floored. There’s NO WAY they didn’t hear him smash his head before falling behind the car.. and towing a body is a lot more difficult than a vehicle, especially if they’re trying to escape. Those lying bastards 😒
Sickening isn't it.. The fact that they were laughing at Andrew's family makes me wanna puke.. If someone besides Mr.B.Allen told me this story, it would have ruined my day.. I'm glad I heard it here👍👍
You've *_clearly_* never been an adrenal response situation...
No matter whether they new or not knew about Andrew, the fact that they showed absolutely no remorse it's a clear indication that either way they wouldn't have stopped to free him if they knew. So I'm really hoping that these three killers have a really really rough time in prison.
Yea they probably did know because Andrew was probably screaming in pain.RIP Andrew ❤
And was he unconscious when he hit the floor or was he still awake wouldn’t he scream?
In much of the U.S. there is "felony murder". If you are committing a felony, and ANYBODY gets killed, that is felony murder. Not only would it apply here, it would even apply if the third robber was the one who got tangled in the rope and killed.
I was going to comment this. Although it's more broad (I think you can be charged with this if some has a heart attack and dies as a result of the shock of you robbing them for example), it's not usually going to be a life sentence. It's considered a lesser crime than first degree murder, maybe on par with manslaughter, though I'm not a lawyer.
The pathologist said when andrew first hit his head on the road he was most likely rendered unconscious. I hope that's true.
@Kylie Shaye , I hope so as well. That is a horrible way for someone to die. That poor guy.
@@melissaevans4396 can u just give me a short this is how he died I don't wanna watch the video

This is by far one of the most horrifying stories you’ve ever told, such an unimaginable way to die, and those monsters, getting such short sentences and smiling and laughing about it, absolutely sickening
🤣🤣🤣
@@vincentkennedymcmahon50 your tiny IQ is showing
Like all the British police officers who got ZERO YEARS for murdering, brutalising and r*ping countless members of the British public??? Forgive me if I don't shed a tear.
Something similar but worse happened in 2007, in Brazil. Thieves dragged a 6-year-old boy strapped to his seat belt for 7km (4 miles). Witnesses tried to warn them, but the thieves just laughed and joked about it.
@@fernandafernandes6362 omg I cannot even imagine that poor baby.
I work for a law enforcement agency in the US. A few years back we got a visit from a Thames Valley officer who was in town for vacation, and he gifted me a Thames Valley bobby hat. I keep it in my office. Whenever I look at this hat now, I will think of Andrew. What a hero. RIP brother.

I hope they never see the light of day. And as for andrews family I hope they have peace once again. 😢
Tney'll definitely see the light of day again. Worst sentence was only 16 years.
Those 3 teens should've grown old in prison. The fact that they showed no remorse for what they did is disgusting!
It was the cops fault
@@howiegruwitz3173 that makes no sense
@@cheyennecuevas3226 the cop did too much and put himself in danger when he knew there were more patrol cars at the end of the road and helicopters to track down the car if they got away. The stolen property was also recovered. So did he have to chase the man and grey car on foot. No. That was poor judgement and it accidentally cost him his life.
@@rahhgerowd That's absolute bull. Those kids are worse than pond scum and needed to be caught. That officer was doing what needed to be done in a situation that those kids made. Way to be as bad as those kids and blame the victim here.
If cops there are anything like they are here (US), those kids will be visited by a special type of justice as soon as they're released. They would be safer inside.
To think all the good Andrew did in a short 28 yrs. And all the bad these 3 will do in their long lives....
Our law system fails us time and time again.
Well if you look at recent history in the UK they really did it to themselves you can’t fuck up the legal system that badly and expect that there won’t be consequences it just sucks that Andrew had to be the victim and the killers got off scot free
@@Saber23 nice self like
@@omega9492 what do you mean?
But why would the law she fought for be so pointless? If that's how my husband died, I'd at least try roll back the cause and effect consequences to holding parents responsible for minors who have repeat crimes
@Jay; it boggles the mind how ineffective the criminal justice system is on everry level. It would be so much less offensive if I wasn't aware the ONLY reason reform doesn't happen is the current system is profitable regardless of how truly worthless it is!
I’ve heard a lot of stories from this channel but this one hit me 😭 Andrew didn’t deserve that At all! RIP ❤️
They should have been charged with more! That poor woman probably had to watch the video in court and knowing her heart was breaking every second. I’m glad this passed!
I went from Shocked, Horror, Overwhelming sadness to intense RAGE at this story. RIP Andrew 😞
Rage! Yes, my sentiments exactly! Stupid little freaks!
Same here
Totaly agree. An eye for an eye is not always the best Management of punishment but i think a fitting one would be to show them for a couple hundred feet and at half the speed what it feels like to be dragged behind a car. And after that Chuck em into prison for 15 years without parole.
Let's hope someone bribes the other inmates to handle these little miscarriages that didn't flush!! Their screams would be sooooo soothing. Live-Stream please!! 🤣
I agree with this comment 100%. I feel physically sick...this is one of the most horrific murders I've ever heard of. Sending all my love and prayers to his wife, family and all those affected by his passing. He sounded like an amazing man that was taken way to early. I think he would have gone on to do so many amazing things in his life. I also wanted to send prayers to Andrew's partner as I'm sure he's been impacted tremendously by the death of his partner and friend. I hope you all find peace in due time.
In the US it would have been felony murder, in that if someone dies during the commission of a felony the criminals can be charged with 1st degree murder. It frequently happens even when a party to the crime is killed.
It'd be called capital murder,which is a much more serious offense than just first degree murder.
In states like Texas and Colorado, people who committ crimes like that,are considered adults.
Therefore they'd be charged as adults.
You are a naturally well spoken story teller. Do not stop as you will reap the fruits of your labor, regards from an old dying soldier of South Africa.
As a serving UK police constable, i cant thank you enough for covering Andrew's story and Harpers law.
This story shook all of us and we are all grateful for the campaigning his wife and family have done to get Harpers Law made.

This story makes me so angry and sad. How could those little sociopaths get off with manslaughter and then laugh about it. And poor Andrew. He did not deserve to die in what must’ve been an absolutely horrific way. 😢
I know it's awful I remember this being all over the news
It's unbelievable.
I am speechless.
As infuriating as it is, the Prosecutors putting murder down had a tough job to begin with. They had to prove that these guys intentionally committed the murder beyond any reasonable doubt. They all still got many years in prison for manslaughter. There are other cases where the prosecution overreached a bit with a murder charge instead of manslaughter
the more tragic thing is that law being passed... automatic life sentence just because a service person dies is a really bad law.
It might have given those guys a life sentence, but it will for sure ruin more lives then it saves.
i think its funny
May Andrew Harper rest in peace. As for the three killers, "He who laughs now will cry later." They will not escape God's wrath!
Exactly!
There aren't any gods.
I’m sure andrew’s wife and family will be comforted - knowing that the thugs will face god’s wrath…yeah sure. No doubt his death will make others think, “god has a reason”…bollocks.
@@tirokopita There is :/

Mr Ballen and Nexpo working together is going to be next level.. much respect for these guys. Making real youtube content.
RIP Harper.. he was a good guy. I hope his family is doing ok.
This story was heartbreaking. The fact that the killers were happy was disgusting. I can't imagine how Lissy felt, but for the rest of her life she will remember not just the loss of Andrew, but his murderers' glee...
Dunno wether your British and yes absolutely this was unacceptable but nowadays stab rates and shooting rates are so high it’s normal to occur but never should it ever happen ‼️
WHATS THE MEANING OF Life.. ? ? ? People ask me all the time -What is the meaning of life? Is it about having a fancy car, a big house, a great job or even being famous? No.! - Ok. Then it’s about being in love having a wife, kids- family and the white picked fence ya-ya...thats it.! No.!.. Ok. Then GOOD HEALTH -NO..! -Tel that to someone who’s on there death bed-NO..! Life is all about realizing that this is just a temporary stop in our journey to Heaven… All the highs life has to offer does Not compare with what God has planned for us and the Lows in life only strengthens our desire for Heaven…. So Please….. TURN TO JESUS- life is to short-and tomorrow my be to late…. Pastor Johnny
anyone would be happy to get 16 years apposed to life in prison.
Fucking sociopaths. I hope their lives are hell.
If justice doesn’t happen to a love one, take it upon yourself.
When those idiots were smiling at the cameras in that little snippet video, even though I don't know Andrew or his family personally, I can't even describe the personal anger and rage I felt towards them in that moment watching this video. I'm sure no doubt the family has seen the same video and I can't imagine the pure pain and anger that it must cause them, makes me sick to my stomach.
Dude, the fact that they will be eventually released, living a life, when they took one is sickening.
Karma is a bitch, and one way or another it will come for those bastards one by one. God Bless you Andrew, you were a beautiful soul, may you rest in eternal peace ❤️
those little mf’s got 13-16 years in prison LOL wtf are they giggling about.
and by the looks of them & their tough guy attitude, I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t last 13-16 years alive behind bars
makes me want to hunt them down and do the same thing to them as they did to Andrew
to me it proves murder... the system failed once again.. the judge should have thrown the book at them
This is just horrific 😱😱😱
Poor poor Andrew!!! ❤️❤️❤️
And his family!!! ❤️❤️❤️
this is an injustice and absolutely sickening, those things walking around pretending to be people , how can they just be allowed to live free?
It makes my blood boil seeing those kids smiling and laughing at the cameras after their sentencing. RIP Andrew Harper.
Fuccc da fedz g
Mine too.
I can only hope that they get some kickings while they're locked up.😠
pure evil them laughing etc ...
I hope they don’t make it out of jail alive.
If Andrew was my brother, those 3 killers would hv 2watch over their backs cos something would definitely hit them unexpectedly
I’ve seen comments like this before, but never thought I would write one - Andrew was based at the station in my hometown of Abingdon. His death had a real impact both locally and nationally, with an outpouring of support for the Police, especially in the Thames Valley area. Thank you, Mr Ballen, for acknowledging this story and for respectfully portraying and recognising Andrew Harper for the hero he was. Lissie Harper is a hero, too, for the tireless work she has done to introduce Harper’s Law. That those boys were so disrespectful at their sentencing still makes the blood boil. That their sentence wasn’t extended for it is in injustice in itself.
The 3 murderers where travellers typical.. they have a law to themselves they is loads of Irish travellers living in my town Darlington, they are all rich and drive about in Mitsubishi four-wheel drive the latest models I wonder how they Offord there lifestyle plus if you have trouble with one you have to fight them all.... I pray for Andrew and his family this did not have to happen they could have stopped easily they knew he was on the back dying shame on them God will have his judgement with them later... and people like them all over the world
@@d.nicholson1040 Wow ... Darlo sounds like it's really changed since I lived there!
I don't know how a trial like this is judged in Great Britain. Here in the U.S. you are judged by a jury of your peers, after considering all the evidence. It's not perfect and we have bad outcomes as well, but the evidence and intensive tests with the dummy by the experts, I think those 3 monsters would've gotten a life sentence without parole. Murder in the first degree.
Lots of Andrews in that area, I gather?
@@d.nicholson1040 I think like almost every country have them; sometimes called gypsies, nomads or something like that. Not saying they are all bad but they often have an expensive lifestyle meanwhile they never did any hard labour so obviously they make money through other illegal activities.
I have also recently discovered Mr Ballen and just fallen in love with the content and the storytelling. This is the first story that made me feel compelled to comment. I feel so saddened, horrified and extremely angry about this case. Good on his wife for doing what she did and seeing it through.
Stories like these are why my husband asked me not to continue pursuing law enforcement.
It's absolutely disgusting that those boys get to start their lives at the age they murdered Andrew. This is a frustrating case.
Rest in peace
At first I was scared of the strange dark and mysterious, now I’m scared that MrBallen will run out of stories to tell
Yes very original comment

Not likely. People will never stop doing stupid shit.
@Obi wan Kenobi. spam is never the answer!
Shut up bot.
I feel for Andrew’s widow-I too was widowed in my late twenties. Even now, in my mid-forties, my life is bisected into two; the before and the after. I hope she’s coping well, and finds happiness again.
My condolences for your loss. I know how hard losing your spouse can be. I lost my first one in my late 20's. Our two young daughters are the only thing that kept me going. Fast forward to late 2020 where I'm now in my late 50's and I lost the love of my life after almost twenty years together. I really understood what you meant about your life being split in two. I want the life I had with my husband, but now I'm stuck in a life alone and all the plans we had made are gone. My kids are grown now, no family support, no real friends. It's very hard.
I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine 🙏
@@michellecarver7279 I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could give you a hug and sit and listen to your stories about your loved one. Virtual hugs then, and my condolences.🌹🙏
(If you are so inclined, maybe writing down your stories would help. It did help me at times. I hope you find your way through this pain to a better life).
I was widowed at 36. It is devastating.
I'm so sorry for all of you who have lost their loved ones. I pray you can all find peace.
I grew up a stones throw from where this happened and would drive Admoor Lane regularly, it really is creepy to drive along at night and a super tight road to be doing those kind of speeds on. I also knew of the boys who did this, Henry grew up on the same road as me. I can’t imagine what Andrew endured and what Lissie is still going through, I hope she finds some peace.
Usually videos like this don’t scare me but this genuinely made my hands shake after I watched it
Heartbreaking. Those boys should never be able to walk free again.
His wife is so strong and it's amazing she worked so hard and accomplished that law.
Thank you Mr Ballen for another great video. I hope you and your family soon find your new home.
hopefully those boys will never get to walk again, let alone break the law
As a mother of a victim of hit and run, I can’t imagine the pain of this family. My daughter survived barely - had her leg amputated, the guy got three years. It should be life.

Ok well him getting life heavily depends on the circumstances. Seems a tad harsh if it was an accident.
@@F4EPhilosophy yes if they stopped, cAlled an Ambulance, stayed with the victim. Actually tried to help and repent. But the lady who killed my brother left him in a dirty snow bank like a animal. Like he was nothing.

I’ve seen this one on FB. I usually skip the ones I’ve already seen but this one-I just couldn’t. This is a heart wrenching story.
You say "making they're way" a lot, and every single time it, it triggers a thousand miles to play in my head. I dont mind though, it's a classic bop.
My heart breaks for Andrew and for his wife Lissie. I can't imagine having your husband murdered and then watching the murderers smirk and celebrate like that. Godspeed Andrew, may you rest in peace as the hero you were born to be.
Killing a cop, I feel like their time in prison will be extra unpleasant. Paperwork going missing, maybe some accidents happen yknow?
Plus what was it? 12 years? That's still a long time to be someone's girlfriend in prison lol
@Pat Luxor yeah but working overtime on job when every 999 call is potentially dangerous , is definitely heroic. Just because you will never be someone like that , you dont need to insult the ones who do it for our scociety. Get a life ... more importantly , atleast life a cowardly life. But live a little
@Pat Luxor But he is (was) a police officer who was off duty and went out of his way to stop these criminals, when he didn’t need to at all, and was killed during the action in a horrific way.
He was a victim to murder by these killers, and his actions hail him heroic as he helped with their arrest.
Basically, cope.
And what a painful way to go!
Those punk kids had to of heard his screams.
Then his poor, poor wife. So upset.
That poor, precious woman..
I just want to import her to the US so I can hug her and let her know everything will be fine.
Then let her join the family as a sister wife.
That is horrific. Those teens were absolute monsters, having no regret or remorse. That sentencing was a joke. The justice system failed Andrew, but it is good news that the new law was passed. May Andrew rest in peace.
Yeah those teens need to be tortured in prison.

They also need a law that prevents criminals from profiting from their crimes-no books, no movies, none of that.
ETA: Guys, I know there’s such a law in some (or all-don’t know for sure) states in the US. This story happened in England. Apparently they do not have this law.
This would be a better new law.
There's a story how a law student planned to kill her fiance and threw a party for him telling people the reason. Everyone knew but him and nobody wanted to tell him and his crazy gf injected heroin into his body while he slept and later got released from jail and wrote a book
There is. Anything they make will be confidcated.
www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/proceeds-crime
there IS a law where criminals cannot make money selling their stories. Now, I dont know if thats a US thing only and these guys are in the UK? Or if theyll find a loophole, but it definitely is a law over here, as it should be.
Im almost positive there is one?
I am just glad that his partner didn't run him over and his body caught under the car like I was thinking this was going towards. Those little punks are the perfect example of the evil running rampant in the world. Very sad that such a wonderful natural protector is gone.
Ugh... I was thinking the same thing.
Yea I was thinking the same thing that his partner hit him
Same here
Yes I was thinking that too.
That's what I was thinking too, either his partners car or the other car.
This hits close to home. Mr Ballen, you are the best story teller ever. ❤
OMG! I was REALLY not expecting the end! It is sooo horrible! How devastating! 😭💔
Lack of any remorse (even sticking to their story that they didn't know they were dragging Andrew) really makes you think something is broken inside these people and makes you feel they will continue, in some fashion, to victimize others because they have no ability to empathize.
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll get plenty victimized themselves in prison. You can tell they think they're top stuff, but they're scrawny little white kids. Actual criminals will see straight through that poser nonsense. They'll be getting eaten alive and stood over right now.
I think they might have no soul.
That’s what’s scary. And the fact that they have such short sentences makes me feel like they will absolutely return to their former lives as career criminals upon their release.
And they are enabled by the system.
@@glamdawling They will, without a doubt!! Horrific!!
The ending absolutely broke my heart, I was hoping and praying for him to make it. Truly one of the most heartbreaking stories I’ve ever heard on your channel.
And as usual, thank you for doing these stories justice, Mr. B!
Same for me. This one made me more sad than any other Ive listened to here. But it was well done.
Same!! I knew it would be almost impossible but found myself hoping he survived somehow💔
I actually predicted pretty early on what had happened to that poor man. But when I did my heart absolutely sank. My stomach literally turned. It was similar to a case in America of a black man that was tied to the back of a truck by three white men. At least those men were executed for their grotesque crime. The sentence's passed down to those smirking, remorseless shits was an absolute disgrace in light of the suffering that was caused, and it makes me ashamed to be from England, with it's whimsical "justice system" that needs seriously updating.
@@jessikatkins1173 I thought I had it figured out but I was thinking the partner accidentally ran over him? There's no way those guys didn't hear and feel that poor man being dragged behind their car!! I remember hearing about the black man you're talking about in the US, too. Just a horrific way for any human to be treated💔
This breaks my heart. Poor Andrew.
Andrew was incredibly selfless and brave, I hope those 3 boys who murdered him never accomplish anything in their already miserable lives.
That’s so sad, he JUST got married too. I can’t imagine how his wife felt when she found out her world is gone. RIP Andrew
This is so painful to be honest
I was a sheriff's deputy in the US years ago, and ended up being dragged by a car driven by a convicted murderer who had a firearm. I was only pulled about 60 yards, and even in that short amount of distance I lost a shoe, my radio, and several other items. My slacks were torn, and I was bleeding on my leg, and hip. The car was finally stopped by another deputy who jumped in through the driver's window and pulled the shifter into park.
I know that even in my short time of being dragged I was terrified, and pissed off. I cannot imagine the horror that PC Harper must have felt, knowing that this was not going to end well.
Thank God for the changes made to the law in GB, and hopefully someday those 3 miscreants will meet the justice they deserve. RIP PC Harper.
My condolences for your injuries, and thank you for your services.
I'm sorry you were put through such a horrendous ordeal. I hope you have healed both physically and mentally from that experience. Just the thought of going through something like that is terrifying and I can't even imagine how scared and helpless both you and Andrew must have felt. Thank you for your selfless service and I hope Andrew rests in peace.

@@aj897 it’s called my opinion… it hasn’t nothing to do with how tall he was, or how good looking he was. What a pathetic comment. 🤦🏻♂️
@@ad1987col I think manslaughter was the right judgement, but that their lack of remorse should have given them an extra 20 years or or so.
Well said, I agree.
The fact that they showed no remorse, boils my heart.
Some people literally just don't care about anything but themselves.
They're psychopaths...
one needs to be secretly a demon, to be that uncaring and spiteful..
@@fumomofumosarum5893 I swear bro
I honestly dont know how you tell these stories...its incredible. I can barely listen without just chickening out and stopping the video (which I have done with some of the more gory stories). This was just so, so sad...😢
Here in US, some jurisdictions/states do apply the felony murder doctrine which warrants murder charges against someone who commits a crime during which a bystander dies, might it be from a medical event or accidentally, during the commission of another crime, theft included, without the intent to kill. At least the UK now has a similar criminal doctrine to implement with Harper’s law. RIP Andrew, u are protecting thru ur sacrifice all ur fellow citizens.
This is truly one of the most horrific miscarriages of justice I've ever heard about. And a truly heartbreaking incident. From what I've gathered about the type of guy Andrew was, this is a terrible loss to the world as a whole. May he rest in peace.
Trouble is here in England sentences for teens to me are far too lenient and something needs to be done as crime with young teens and children are getting worse and they are getting younger. Its because we aren't allowed to punish our children as they see it as child abuse and that's what the naughty kids cry out if any one of their parents lay a hand on them. It didnt do us any bad we were scared of our moms never mind our dads lol. I just hope that one day they will change the law and pass deeper sentences and place them in with the real killers and see if they are tough guys then and split them up. you stay safe out there ok ... xx
@@MJARTBYDAY unfortunately it's not just a UK problem, it's a "Western Civilization" problem. Though here in the United States it's with all criminals in general, not just "minors." I have several friends from the Army who went on to become Police Officers all around the US and it's the same story with them all. They arrest people for serious crimes that include weapon charges (guns, knives) just to discover they already have a dozen or so charges / convictions for violent crimes with and without weapons that they received little to no time for and or were out on bail or probation. Then they have the same result with the NEW charges. The biggest question my friends say they have with people they arrest with firearms isn't "why do these people have access to guns." it's "Why are these people not in prison still."
@@Stormy2510 Thank you for your comment huni. It just scares me that these young people are getting younger and kill with out a care in the world. Its frightening that all those kids were doing was laughing at the cameras thinking it was a joke. Their sentences could only be short as they are minors and when they get out they will start all over again at robbing. There are plenty of rough areas and I am guessing there are all from them but sometimes they come from loving homes and their parents could have a bit of money and still they could commit crimes this vicious. Killing an officer of the law is serious as well as a person off the streets but an officer they will nickname them cop killers but they wont even care. I just wish that these days parents should be allowed to punish their children within reason but all they can do is take away their consoles and send them to their rooms. Its crazy and its not the world that is crazy its some people in it. Stay safe out there huni ok and thanks again xx
some group from the US maybe go over there and cut off hands and feet and remove some teeth
Classic UK BS..... and the murderers knew it too.... they will probably get nice benefits and a free council flat when they come out of prison too....
My brother was killed in a hit and run when he was only 17. He died. His killer never went to jail even tho there was a trial and they GAVE her the car back. The car she used to kill my brother. His name was Andrew to. I’m so so sorry this happened to this incredibly kinda man. Life is not fair.
So sorry for your loss. I hope the person who got away with this awful murder has a rotten life.
I hope your brother's killer dies in the worst car accident imaginable.
Lmfao, Was killed in a hit and run when he was 17. He died, no shit, if he was killed it's pretty apparent that he died
Very sad... something should "happen" to the person that did that... just saying... sometimes str$$t justice is the only justice
Life does not HAVE TO be unfair. It’s unfair only because there is very little effort made to make it fair.
Heartbreaking.
Those three misfits will meet their fate one day. Hopefully, with the same intensity that Officer Harper
Faced.
Prayers to his wife and family.
Lives lived like that seem to be one of the strongest arguments that there is a hell. Where else do such wholeheartedly committed servants of evil go? And who would be their lord? They are the polar opposite of Andrew, who was so loyal that, God forgive me, I first envisioned a large guard dog when his virtues were described. They would not even want heaven, or access to it except to cause trouble if they could.
If they had but any scruple they might thereby be saved... but this looks so gratuitous.
Misfits? How about determinedly-won't-ever-fits.
Big caveat: as far as any of us are placed to observe. Still, if Andrew had to suffer on his way to glory, imagine how hard it would be for that gang.
Left me in tears. Rest in peace Andrew. You were well and truly selfless and far too good for this cruel world. I pray you are at peace. God bless your soul. 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I lived near where this happened at the time of the murder (because that is what it was) and it shocked people deeply. The sentences those men got was an absolute joke. Compounded by their reactions. No remorse whatsoever. Vile excuses for human beings.
Me too, I live a few miles where it happened
That's the UK justice system for ya. Here in the US their sentences would have been life w/o parole.
@@SC2kickinnnunless that where women then people would say they where scared so only the main guy gets life and the girls get 5 years 😂
I disagree. It's not murder. It was a horrible accident and the guy chasing them was equally at fault. It's like a cop running into traffic and getting run over. One still needs to use their head while doing their job.
@@PhilRewa 1) he chased the third guy not knowing he will caught himself in the rope
2) the murderers know exactly that he was stuck on the rope and tried to dilodge him
3) that is no cop running into traffic, this is a man who is stuck in pitch dark, chasing a man on foot not knowing he will get traped with the rope and be dangled for miles
this was no horrible accident, the moment the thiefs drove off and tried to dislodge him off the car they became murders.
Unfortunately young criminals don’t know what the word remorse means. To see these murderers smile as they leave court is sickening to watch.
Simply love your stories, the best storyteller ever in my opinion!
Respect from Sweden 🇸🇪🇺🇸
I Sverige skulle dessa snorungar ha betraktats som offren.
You’re saying old skool murderers had class? Huh?
Yes these were scummy low life thugs and I think it can be worse when they commit crimes as a group as they try show off...which sickens every body.
@@Rascularvideos he's not. He's just saying the young ones don't know remorse.
Why dont you buy a house man
It's stories like these that make me super pissed that's there's like 500-600 billionaires in the world, and none of them decided yet to be Batman
I knew one of the guys who was invited to join this robbery and declined and knew Andrew personally too.
Absolutely horrific what happened to Andrew r.i.p. mate.
I'm from the UK and this was huge news at the time and when the monsters got sentenced. I have never seen that disgusting footage of them laughing at the camera like that. It shows how unremorseful and lacking in any morality or guilt these people have.
To openly celebrate and mock the families is beyond evil. Disgusting people.
IF THEY DO WRITE A BOOK I HOPE THE WIDOW SUES THEM FOR ALL THEY RECEIVE!!!
This reminds me of our OJ Simson Trial
Stupid prosecutors for allowing him to try on the gloves!!! ALL OUTDOORSMAN KNOW ONCE LEATHER IS WET IT SHRINKS & NEEDS TO RE-WET TO STRETCH IT BACK TO ORIGINAL SIZE!!!
We know these individuals will not be returning in everlasting life with the attitude of "we got away with murder" THEY HAVE ANOTHER JUDGEMENT TO FACE, IF THEY EVEN MAKE IT TO THAT TRIAL

He kinda hinged himself to the rope,and they kinda probably didn't even notice.
@@Remix2366 why are u soo defending those asshol*s?
Anyone who had commented that they are guilty and system failed Andrew you are the one poking into everyone's thought...life sentence is sooo small for the crime those idiots had done..and it was clear that anyone would have notice if a man is attached to the back of thier cars...not onces not twice but the inspection team kept on doing the same things again and again and again to find out if they really didn't knew that a person is literally dangling behind them,but it's shown that they would have known and they also driven thier car left and right to swing the man away from them....I think u are a family member or a frnd of those murderers..that's the reason u are getting soo offended by others....those morons deserved life sentence without the possibility of parole...hope when they came out of jail,Andrew's family would do the same and tell the police that they didn't knew... instead of 1mile they should drive 10/20 miles...hell I would have done this if something like that happened to my brother...
I feel u but when u got cops behind you, you kinda don’t care u just want to get away
@@Remix2366 kinda? Nah these are straight psychopaths
Thank you for the upload Mr Ballen. Very sad and extremely hard to handle. This story reminds me of why Skye’s Law was introduced in NSW Australia.
Excellent story telling here!
I live close to where this happened. I can still remember the reaction online after those oxygen thieves laughed their way out of court. Whenever an officer is injured today, the name Andrew Harper is still mentioned.
His wife is an incredible woman and her work means every emergency worker killed in the future will now receive proper justice
I like the new law but I also see how it could be bad. Like say if a guy is jaywalking and an officer runs out into the street to catch him and give him a ticket but the officer is then hit by a bus and dies. I would be pretty upset about going to prison for life for jaywalking.
@@drjjloveman We dont have jaywalking laws here in the UK, pedestrians have right of way, and we make our own judgements if its safe to cross if there are no lights or zebra crossings
@Jeff Johnson
I’m sure the judge’s discretion is considered during prosecution and sentencing. Lets not be ridiculous.
@Cipher I
It matters to those that are still living with the loss.
@@drjjloveman that's obviously not a legitimate case because the Jay walker didn't kill the officer

Not my heart. Glad the pig is gone.
The good ol English criminal system and people have the nerve to question the American justice system.
@BloKaPEW it’s not a messed up law. It makes perfect sense. A savage like yourself shouldn’t be treated the same as a cop that’s doing his job
@@smartyjonez5470 explaine?
@@smartyjonez5470 the American legal system is based on the English legal system. It’s evolved a bit however…Americans are only 400 or so year old natives as a civilisation, People forget America was built by Europe not so long ago inn historic terms. So us good ol English can question your legal system whenever we want! Just as you yanks do!
Overwhelming sadness . RIP Andrew 😞
Thanks for showing their faces and providing their names. I know individuals who will appreciate this info.
Couldn't believe when you started talking about this. I live 5 minutes down the road and went to school with the kids that killed him. Horrible kids from horrible families. They initially tried to blame it all on another kid from school who wasn't even there.
We've always had an issue in the local area with travellers robbing houses and causing trouble. Sulhampstead (where it happened) is actually a really nice area but they ruin it. Anyway, the caravan site where they all lived is abandoned now. RIP PC Harper
Don't they fall into one of todays special victimised catagories?
Surprised they sue the police for harrassment and chasing them?

This horrifying crime happened really close by to where I live. The suspects were travellers and nasty pieces of work. This was a deliberate act and they knew exactly what they were doing. My heart goes out to this brave young man and his heartbreakingly young family who will be forever devastated by their moronic actions x
@@charlotteward4339 bro I live in reading 😭
By Travellers do you mean Roma/gypsies? Why do you distinguish them from just nasty criminals?
You're both liars. Where's your evidence?!
Bro i’m fucking neighbours with Albert and his family. They all live in my small village of Mortimer, except Jessie who lived in Tadley about a 5 minuet drive down the road and these guys were literally our childhood bullies. They are a nasty piece of work and in the aftermath of all of this Henry’s dad (Dinky Long) would walk around our local park drunk out of his head bragging about what his son did. If you knew any of these people on a personal level like I did you would know something like this was bound to happen; Henry even bragged about how he would happily murder someone if they crossed him. He was arrested countless times in the past due to countless things from robbing to assault but everytime he was let free due to his family intimidating witnesses and the police in general being scared of him and his family. This could have easily been prevented if the police did their jobs the countless times he was arrested for other things but they would rather not go through the hassle unfortunately.
@@M60gunner1971 yeah no one lives anywhere near Reading.

This story makes me feel so infuriated, it's so painful to hear about such a tragic death of a police officer that could be such a dreadful way to die. Feel bad for his family that they had to be taken away from their loved one so soon in such a horrendous way. Story aside, we are all sympathetic to how stressful these situations can be. Take care and have a good one, Mr.Ballen!

I was so furious watching them yukking it up as they were walking out! If I was a family member, after watching them, I would probably be in jail for murder.
If Andrew's widow sees this, I hope she is doing well. It is amazing that she turned her loss into something positive so that injustices like this will never happen again.
In the end of this tragic story, that is really amazing. Also these 3 youngsters do deserve much bigger punishment.
How is this an injustice?
@Jass Zoigel
Is that a serious question? Did we watch the same video?
@@soyburglar1878 idk I saw some rtards kill a cop and then go to prison, hbu?
@@JassZoigel The boys should have been charged with murder and gotten the appropriate punishment, not manslaughter. That's the injustice.
Wow, poor Andrew, this story gave my goose bumps.
It's sickening that housing is so difficult. Meanwhile we we allow and financially support people with no legal reasons for being here. You are veteran and deserve the highest of respect and assistance. God bless you and your family.
I live in the area where this happened and remember it so clearly. His wife has been incredible ever since that day, and has fought so hard for justice. And no doubt has made a huge difference but it should have never happened. My heart still breaks for her and the family. ❤️
This is whur, In England ... Wales... Scotland?
How the hell do y'all not have the death penalty thur? If u kill ANY law enforcement in The Americas, you are getting killed yourself if found guilty... like in record time. They don't even allow em to sit on death row, they fast forward the sentence for a quicker punishment (usually after just a few yrs. Instead of 10-15 which is the usual wait cause the lines so long).
@@actuallyNo... This happened in the South East of England about an hour or so outside of London. Our laws aren’t as strict in the UK, but his wife has very much helped that change in future cases similar to this.
I grew up in Reading and live there when this happened. It was horrific and such a massive loss. His send off was definitely a hero’s send off. What his wife has done since is incredible.
@@hollydorward9804 I live over in Bracknell, and honestly I’ve always been in awe of her. To go through all of that and get a law created is incredible while also painfully sad.
For the people who lived in the area. What was the towns opinion of this. I mean they acted like such (I think the English word you would use would be muppets) muppets after the trial. Weren't people pissed about this?
The second I saw his name, I remembered the case instantly. It's so sad that he died in such a horrible way and at such a young age.
It still makes my blood boil how the culprits behaved after the fact.
I thought why Andrew went after that 3 culprit. He should have avoided that, He cost his life for that bike, common man You have a full life ahead.Those Sick bastard's have done their worst don't run after them and risk your life..
@@SUNFlower-tt9zv He went after the culprit who was running away and not all three culprits. His intention was on getting him before he got in th car. Unfortunately as things went it ended up costing his life but I feel a job such as a policeman always carries the chance of something devastating happening due to the nature of morons such as these three. Chances are these idiots will probably be out after serving half their time which makes it even more of a mockery of their sentences.
@@icekitty400thts y um saying he was running after the third one who was getting into the car.. I should have written 3rd one..those evil boys have left the squad bike, that was it..Now for what Andrew got from the car and uselessly chased that evil..Alone he can't be able to hold out those evils...
They should be killed cheaply so we don't have to fund keeping them alive. After a couplf of day's of torture first ofcaorse 😁
@@SUNFlower-tt9zv I mean, it’s his job as a police officer to do that. Quite literally. They were aware of the risk, but unaware of the rope that would kill him.
He acted out as a person of moral and the need for justice, to stop these criminals.
It’s based on the person he is, his beliefs. And yes, unfortunately, it got him killed. It’s sad, but that’s how it is.
You and Mr. Neel are the best storytime YTs
Thank you Mr Ballen, horrific story. So sad.
Harpers Law is new knowledge to me and many others I’m sure. Thank you for sharing your fantastic story telling talents.
On that note, I’d like to encourage everybody to cultivate, pursue and express your talents. Can you imagine if we all just blossomed?
Rest in peace Andrew, (Protector). Your death created law where there was none. A golden law to protect the protectors.
Love to Andrews family💜.
This was really really horrific. Man why does this always have to be with good people only? Like any tragic story you've heard on this channel was always with someone who was nice, caring, cheerful, happy with life and successful. You were a good cop, Andrew Harper. Rest in Peace💔
Yes I always say the worse things happen to good people, while as is seen in this case the evil people breeze through life without a care in the world.

Note----
If the stuff Ballen talks about is rough for you don't go to the channel I said
The good die young
This makes me angry in a way I can't describe. The lack of remorse, the cackling and carrying on is such a slap in the face to Andrew's family. I feel for his wife especially, because they had just gotten married and he died in the line of duty, trying to make the community a better place, and these little punks will still get to live whatever scummy lives they will have after they get out of prison, but Andrew will never have his chance to live his life to its completion. That's so unjust and unfair. I'm glad they passed Harper's law, but it just sucks that it isn't retroactive. I don't often get upset about cases, but being raised in a military family, and having a dad who is a retired Petty Officer and a granddad who is a retired Master Chief (Both US Navy of course) respect is very important to me, and I get pissed off seeing injustice and even more seeing it combined with disrespect.
