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.

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.

what was his sentence?
i hope it wasn't something retarded like 6 weeks of picking up rubbish in the local park
( Smash Monkey lowering the tone of the whole internet, 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.
