When he's not out threatening huntsmen and trespassing on private land, Marc Shaw, unlike many sabs, tries to earn an honest living, doing patio work for DC Garden Services in Shrewsbury. Only a recent sab-convert, it remains to be seen how long this civil afront will now last.
His extremist ideologies appear to have arisen off the back of an association with Bethany Roberts (above, left), a known Hertfordshire hunt sab and visceral anti-speciesist who is thought to employ a number of pseudonyms on Facebook, including Bethanie Jade, Ebony Fox, and Bethany Roberts (mouse).
Shaw has been spotted operating recently amongst the masked ranks of the East Northants sabs, with crazed allies such as Clive Richardson. Just as Shaw has tried to mask himself in public, he has also taken efforts to disguise his online presence.
On Facebook he appears under the guise of Harris Skye, attempting to covertly disperse his extremist viewpoints across the social network. One is forced to wonder: why? why would anyone be so keen to hide their true profile? All answers, unfortunately, tend towards criminal intention – a conscious knowledge of wrongdoing. Whether this is borne out of a juvenile fear of being caught or want to inspire fear, or both, remains to be determined. What we can be certain of: the typical sab psychology is complex and disturbed. One would need a degree in psychology just to begin understanding what compels the likes of Shaw.
In line with many other sabs, Shaw is partial to launching verbal abuse and aggressive threats at those he disagrees with. The following footage is one example amongst many of how sabs fail to control their emotions, resulting in hateful speech, threats, and, often, violence.
Fortunately for the rider, Shaw did not have the gall to assault someone on horseback, however likely this seemed, but was instead left running riot in a fit of rage with his bull-whip.
Huntsmen should remain wary, however, of the likes of Paul Allman, a common sab-inspiration and leader, who might not have held the same restraint, especially in view of his long list of violent felonies.
Yet, it is an even sadder reality that Shaw is only becoming more prone to following the same reckless path as Allman and co.
Unfortunately, more recently Marc Shaw has actually lost control, threatening to f****** kill a hunt-master, who was out innocently trail hunting:
Subsequently, Marc was arrested:
Previously, his other rash behaviour has included the online abuse of Cambridgeshire police constabulary and, after failing to properly park his sabmobile with Roberts by forgetting it had a handbrake, endangering oncoming traffic.
