Not prosecuted!?!?!?!? WT*$#@!?

[beanbag]

I couldn't find this on PH but it's sad to thing how our "justice" system now works in the UK. A guy smashes a womens face and gets away with it without being prosecuted. What the hell is going on in the UK???

Well, we dont know why do we? the article doesnt say. Crap bit of journalism that is, why didnt the reporter contact the CPS and find out? Perhaps they did and the answer was a bit too reasonable so left it out. Point is, we dont know!

Ah yes, the prohlem was that the perpetrator wasn't a timid little woman, eating an apple in stationary traffic you see, if it had been, they would have had the full weight of the law thrown at them - we don't live in a just society anymore........

We don't know the full story, the guy could have been full of a cocktail of drugs and completely unaware of what he was doing.

Crap report.

And the perp was not giving the finger to the officer at the time of the offense. Had the police officer been offended he would have been bumped off by now I would imagine...

I don't give a cr*p, he should have gone down for a long stretch.

I read in the paper the other day that Labour is changing sentencing guidelines to increase the use of community service 'punishments' for those convicted of ABH. Labour's masterplan becomes clearer, crack down hard on the law abiding majority and leave the scum free to roam the streets.

Ok, so what about if the NHS prescribe and pump you full of all sorts of drugs to supposedly help you with what ever problem you have and knowing you will most likely have some kind of adverse reaction, they just leave you to lie in your bed instead of keeping watch, which you don't do because you're basically off your tits and you assault someone without a clue of what you're doing. You think you should be sent down when the NHS have a duty of care that they failed to exercise correctly?

My wife had major surgery last year, when she came to after the op she had to be restrained because she was so off her head coming out of the general anathestic she wanted to get up and dance and grab other patients so they could join her in her mental disco. If she'd been left alone she would most likely have killed herself in the state she was in and if not at least basically assaulted another patient in her very much altered state.

How do we know that the nurse hadn't in fact been negilgent in allowing the patient to wander the corridors in that state?

I think too much violent behaviour is excused because the assailant is 'off their head' through drink or drugs. I have got very drunk more than a few times in my life and somehow I have kept myself from beating up someone.

Hospital inviroment is not safe. My mums a nurse at ER. She once got nearly hit by a chair from behind and without colleagues fast intervention the results would have been nasty. These people always get away with it.

Amazing isnt it, lets show an example of where someone should have been prosecuted but wasn't (for what ever reason) and then show how the new legislation which probably asumes guilt rather than innocence, would have been effective in this case.

No defence whatsoever.

Ok I didn't really explain clearly in my first post. Definitely no excuse if he took the drugs and they were of the illegal kind, but if they were prescribed by a Doctor the hospital and there were known side-effects that could have caused this behaviour, which were ignored and he wasn't kept under obsevation, then it's the hopital's fault. There is definitely more to this story, the CPS wouldn't just decide not to prosecute because they couldn't be bothered, but that reason has been conveniently left out so we could have a nice bit of one-eyed tabloid journalism instead...
