is there a chance of me going prison ?

[bubblegal]

in the last year i have reciceved 10 charges .....for drunk and disordaly and also criminal damage of �15.000.. i am on a referal order for 8month and i have now been done for assult and in court i was told if i re-offended i would be re-sentenced for everything is there any chance of me going prison?

[Tichfield]

I hope so. For the sake of the rest of us not having to put up with this awful behaviour for a while.

[Homer55]

id say a pretty big chance, but to be honest knowing the legal system in england (im presuming its england), you probably get communtity service

[bubblegal]

the assult was nothing bad i punched a lad in the back of the head..... i was told i may get tagged.

[bushbaby_de]

maybe if you went to prison you would learn your lesson and not rack up any more charges next year.....just a thought......

[bubblegal]

i understand what u mean but im not a violent person ive never been done for assult in my life before i was aggrivated by this person telling me he was guna beat me up.

[Supernick]

Nothing bad?!?
You punched someone in the back of the head. You assaulted them. Have you really got to a stage where you have absolutely zero concept of what is bad behaviour and what isn't?
Is there anything short of a lobotomy that you think could turn your life round? Be honest with yourself, and admit that prison is probably the best place for you.....

[bushbaby_de]

Punching someone in the back of the head would come under most normal people's definition of 'violent'. Reading between the lines of your original question, you probably think it doesn't count because you were drunk. In which case i strongly suggest that if you are lucky enough to avoid prison again you enrol yourself in AA pretty sharpish and sort yourself out before you cause someone real harm (or are on the receiving end of it yourself) .

i really am not a violent person.... if i dint hit him he would of hit me........ prison wouldnt do nothing 4 me im not a bad person i feel bad 4 hitting him other people would be proud ov what they have done where as im not!!!!

[bubblegal]

i wasnt drunk when i did it i was at college !!

[4GS]

He was going to hit you so you punchedthe back of his head?
Very brave to hit him when he can't defend himself, why didn't you at least face on to him before you hit him, was he too big for you?
I hope you do go to prison

[monkeyeyes]

If you hit him in the back of the head, surely he was facing away from you ?

If that is the case, why did you not take that opportunity to just walk away ?

I'm sure the courts will take the view that at the time you assaulted him he was posing 'no threat' which would have been your only defence.

I suggest you examine your own conduct and ask yourself why you get yourself into these situations.

[bubblegal]

no he wasnt to big actually... he turned around as i went to hit him...... yeah is it because your a lad and you found out a girl hit a lad..... well he wound me up so he deserved it i dont think i will go prison because the assult didnt make any marks or anything

[anderlee]

'punches in the head' can kill people!! It seems you have a problem with your temper and you dont know how to handle it.
Plead guilty and if you dont get sent down, ask for help with your temper-just look at your record!

good luck with your life.

Drowning someone in a bath doesn't leave any marks either but if you did this you would still be charged with murder.
Assault is assault whether or not you leave any marks!!

[Hellyon]

Bubblegal - face reality, you have been charged 10 times for being drunk, criminal damage to the tune of �15,000 and now you have assaulted someone. This is not the behaviour of a normal person and you seriously need to address your drink problem. Before you say you don't have a drink problem.......YOU DO you have been charged 10 times for being drunk and disorderly, that is a PROBLEM, if you go to prison that is also a PROBLEM. You do not seem to realise that the way you behave is not normal behaviour - I bet 100 AB users could click on here now and say truthfully they have never been charged for drunk and disorderly behaviour. GROW UP AND FACE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!!!!!!!!

[tigersam258]

i would suggest that rather than trying to justify your actions here, you speak to your legal counsel and they will advise whether you will receive a custodial sentence.

If this other party was going to hit you, the question is why? You said that he wound you up! Why would he hit you if he wound you up? I am confused!

[monkeyeyes]

Please don't try to turn this into a thread about perceived sexual bias.

Person A wound up person B.
Instead of person B walking away, person B assaulted person A whilst person A was not looking and therefore unprepared to evade the blow.

You obviously have a problem with your anger and need to find a more acceptable way of dealing with it.

You may be at college but future employers will be less than impressed with a prospective violent, angry, drunken vandal as an employee...........

[tigersam258]

agreed monkeyeyes and even worse one that has a criminal record. In this world with many candidates for each job, those with a criminal record could very easily be overlooked regardless of their other skills and qualifications.
