Rocky Balboa goes behind bars. He stepped in holy water and attacked the prior
Czech Rocky Balboa is not unlike the famous boxer he played Sylvester Stallone, no “Italian stallion”.
The smaller, bald and one-eyed criminal has more entries in the criminal record than the Hollywood saga about boxer Rocky. Now he has another record, again for rioting and dangerous threats.
Robert Rocky Balboa, the original surname of Rakaš, became the fear of visitors to the church in Karmelitská Street. The rioter repeatedly disrupted Mass and embittered the lives not only of believers or tourists, but also of priests and nuns.
Last May, in a single day, he erupted in three consecutive public services attended by dozens of people.
At the first Mass around half past two in the afternoon, he poured holy water on the ground, stomped barefoot in it, and then rang the bell in the sacristy. The nun reprimanded him, but Balboa ignored it.
He did the same at the second service after 5 p.m. In addition, he seized the microphone and began to make incomprehensible sounds and screams into it. Then he lay down on the ground in the middle alley. Prior Pavel Pola tried to calm the hooligan. But Balboa couldn’t tell.
The indictment further states that “during the service held at 6:02 p.m., he started shouting at the prior: You drink, you moron, I’ll break your mouth, baby, disappear or you’ll get. Do you want me to kill you?
According to experts, Balboa, who is not mentally ill, was convicted in the same church in 2016. At that time, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Balboa wished the judge after the judgment happy new year (December 27, 2016):
Three years ago, according to witnesses, he sang or shouted in the monastery premises, other times he ran inside and shouted that it would set it on fire. He also frightened the then prior Prior Peter Glogar as he shouted at him face to face in a woman’s wig.
“He threatened to cut me, gut me, and it would be over before the police arrived. He didn’t even seem to know me, “said a church official. Balboa defended himself that nothing like that had happened. “I don’t carry a gun, I don’t need it, my hands are enough. I don’t even have gutted in my dictionary, “he said.
Now Balboa has not come to a public hearing at the Municipal Court in Prague. Senate President Felicia Hrušková stated that the man is not currently in custody or serving a sentence, the summons was served by so-called fiction. The conditions for the court to act have been met.
The church in which Balboa repeatedly made riots.
The meeting lasted about fifteen minutes. The court dismissed Balboa’s appeal and upheld the first-instance verdict, according to which he was to go for two years behind bars as a dangerous threat to the prior and riots in the church.
“We found the defendant’s appeal unfounded. His guilt was fully proven. We do not consider the imposed sentence to be unreasonably severe, “Hrušková explained.
Balboa, who has been convicted nine times in the past, has been convicted of, for example, robbery or attempted rape. Six years ago, a prosecutor charged him with assaulting a homeless man. Judge Věra Bártová from the District Court for Prague 1 was so angry at his constant interruption during the main trial that she sentenced him to 12 years in prison. Her verdict was overturned two months later by the Court of Appeal. He sent the man behind bars for two years.
Say I’m calling for Klitschko, Balboa shouted in the courtroom. After the verdict, when he was 12, he was no longer joking (October 2013):
Rakaš officially had his name changed according to the famous film boxer more than fifteen years ago, when he was serving his sentence in Mírov Prison in Šumpersk. He had a permanent residence in Jablonné nad Orlicí at that time, and the matrix there met him.
“He wanted to get involved in a proper life and work as a decent person. He would not have succeeded with the original surname. We told him that everyone would rather tighten on him, “said one of the registrars at the time.
