This is a question Random Acts of Kindness

Crackhouseceilidhband asks: Has anyone ever been nice to you, out of the blue, for no reason? Have you ever helped an old lady across the road, even if she didn't want to? Make me believe that the world is a better place than the media and experience suggest

« Go Back

A couple of years ago I was assaulted in the street.
Basically this happened.

Although people in the street turned a blind eye to what was going on, when I finally managed to get help, I was utterly amazed at how wonderful some people can be.

Within 5 minutes of it happening, the women at my local Slimming World club had provided me with a strong mug of tea, ice for my face, Badger and the police were called and I felt as safe as I was going to feel at that point. They were brilliant. It was quite simply, one of the most bittersweet moments. I was hurt, shocked, upset and angry (so so angry), but at the same time I realised that I was not alone.

They made sure that I was never alone when attending meetings until Karl Roberts (94 previous convictions apparently) was arrested, charged and sentenced for my assault. They never made me feel weak or pathetic, and they helped put my self-confidence back together.

It's a small thing that they did really, but it is something that plenty of people that day simply refused to do. For that I will always be very very thankful.

The
guy who lamped you sounds like a real gent. Try and take heart that he'll spend most of his 20's in jail, he'll never really have any sort of happiness and, the odds are, that he'll be dead before he reaches 40 through either drugs or violence.

I doubt if he'll be missed.

Cheers

P.S. In a perfect world he'll end up in hospital when Badger is on shift. A new entry for "Guilty Secrets"

I misread that as miniseries then and thought we were giving criminals television shows.

That's not how it works at all.
He'll be given council housing and eight million a year in benefits.

Of my face? The police have them. I have a couple of pictures, but I'm not wearing make-up..
they were taken that evening, then I had some more taken a couple of weeks after.

Hey kudos to Ring of Fire
I like his style when it comes to dealing with you.
But don't credit me with his work - I think my small corner of the archives stands up for itself.

It's a very 'QOTW' innit?
Someone mocks you, so you make something unlikely up, thinking 'this won't invite more derision'.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I do have an entry

Maybe if you'd come up with your own name instead of stealing his, then there wouldn't be this confusion.

What a dreadful thing to do to anyone, that must have been a horrible experience for you.
Bravo to the ladies that lunch though. They sound like a splendid bunch, helping to balance out all the nastiness created by the shittiest shits of the world.

Dude, it was Slimming World ladies, if anything, they're 'Ladies Who No Longer Lunch'.

what was his sentence?
i hope it wasn't something retarded like 6 weeks of picking up rubbish in the local park
(, Tue 14 Feb 2012, 15:33, closed)
In total 16 weeks, and a restraining order for 12 months.
Not brilliant, but the maximum sentence for the offence he was convicted for.

He'll kill himself soon, he takes far too many drugs.
