FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A man whose accomplice was shot dead by police on a busy Melbourne street after they committed an armed robbery has been jailed for five years.
Lucas Watson, now 27, was carrying a sawn-off rifle when he and his friend Craig Douglas, 30, entered a room at the Gatwick Hotel in St Kilda last year, threatening a couple while demanding drugs.
When the woman, who had severe hearing difficulties, did not obey his orders, Douglas stabbed her four times – three times in the back and once in the face – before stealing some cannabis and returning to his room in the same hotel.
Douglas and Watson then left with two women and were spotted a couple of hours later by police who recognised them from the hotel’s CCTV footage.
Douglas later approached police with a knife and after ignoring repeated calls for him to drop it, was shot dead on Grey Street, St Kilda.
Watson was jailed on Monday for a minimum three years for aiding and abetting Douglas in the May 1 attack, after pleading guilty to armed robbery and recklessly causing serious injury.
Victorian County Court Judge Liz Gaynor said Watson’s offences, committed while he was on parole, were appalling, causing fear and trauma for the couple and leaving the woman with an unsightly scar on her face.
“You came very close to making sure you were going to spend the rest of your life in jail,” she told Watson, adding he was lucky the victim had not died.
“Your offending was so incredibly serious.”
