Should This Man Be In Prison?

[Blackbriar 8,569]

Is this how we repay our service veterans?

The day before this incident he tried to get help for many years of PTSD and 'survivor guilt syndrome'!

Thankfully, neither he, nor anyone else, was hurt, but why is help only given WTSHTF?

" But the judge said the 5 hour siege, which was fuelled by drink, must have caused fear to his neighbours, the public and the police. "

 

I'll bet that Judge had never found himself battering down the Shankill Rd with a gun in His f**king hands, back in the seventies!

 

Drunk, deeply unhappy bloke hanging out his window with a BB gun? Terrifying

 

It's only my personal opinion. Agree. Disagree. Whistle 'Dixie' through ye left nostril for all I care. But, me? I think that 'Judge' is more out of touch with reality than the poor b*****d he's jailed. A liability to your country. And utter c***.

So basically if you been in the army you've got free rein to do as you please then?

sadly hes not the first veteran to be shafted by authority and i have no doubt he wont be the last, i am in no way condoning what he did but i am understanding it, unlike that judge. this does not mean veterans have free range to commit crimes but i do think that every opportunity should be offered to sort the problems and not sentence because of the symptoms.

But you know as well as me if this man was a junkie and not ex army it would have been ok to lock him up and throw away the key.

sadly not, his piss poor childhood and inability to gain employment due to his drug and alcohol issues would probably mean a community sentence along with some counciling or other he would have no intention of attending

He's not though he was once a decent man who now has mental health problems.

 

 

He didn't hurt anyone and there was never any chance he would do so,so how can the same government that is responsible in small part for his troubles today justify punishing him?

 

Helping him is different,against his will if necessary.

Yes that would probably be the opinion of our goverment laws but i'm talking about the publics view.
