im just wondering how long people think this bloke i know wil get inside? he went into someones house and sprayed a bloke with cs gas! it was at the magistrates court then went to the crown court. hes pleading guilty to criminal damage,abh (cus he sprayed the bloke) possession of the gas and spraying it! hes pleading not guilty to spraying the kids with it and a women. hes in his 20s and its his first offence.
It's not funny. For someone with breathing problems, the consequences could've been dire. I don't know about sentencing, but he needs a short sharp shock.
He sprayed a bloke with CS gas while there were kids in the room? If so the magistrates won't look kindly upon him thankfully.As Ice.Maiden said,anyone with breathing problems could have suffered hideously if they inhaled the gas,in fact it may even have killed them.
People like your friend/associate should definitely be locked up.I'm sure one of the legal minds will be along to answer your question on the sentencing issue.
Of course he deserves to be locked up booshman,he went into someone's house and sprayed them with CS gas! It is illegal to even be in possession of the stuff,never mind to use it on someone.
I doubt there is a righteous reason for this bloke's actions booshman,its probably a petty argument over a woman or drugs,it usually is at the age of 20.
Emma - it may be a community penalty! ie. Probation, Unpaid work, a heavy fine, and compensation, depends on the PSR, the mitigation and the time it took him to plead
Other than that, maybe 18 - 24 months of which he will serve half.
