Man Punches Drug Dealer...and?

[FredPuli43]

What does the Daily Mail expect us to think about this? That the man should not have been prosecuted? That he shouldn't have got six years? That the drug dealer should have been prosecuted for something?

What do you make of it?

I thought he was being tried for hitting the drug-dealer and being sentenced for that. Why did all his other offences come into it?

aog, in response to your comments to me on the previous page - I was NOT talking about previous offences in his past
Read the article again - he was prosecuted for numerous other offences including assault whilst resisting arrest AT THE SAME COURT HEARING

aog - BTW, no need to apologise for getting wrong...again

I would be only too willing to apologise if I were wrong, but in this instance could it be you that is wrong, where does it say AT THE SAME COURT HEARING?

*** The judge said "'If you carry on behaving the way you have over the last
few years you will be spending the majority of that future behind bars". ***

*** Neale admitted one count of causing grievous bodily harm, as well as charges of dangerous driving, assault with intent to resist arrest, attempted burglary, aggravated vehicle taking and two counts of driving whilst disqualified. ***

He was only admitting that in the past he had committed those crimes, and obviously at the time he would have been punished for them.

Not so AOG, he was sentenced at the same hearing for all those offences

From the article ion the Mirror:
As well as the grievous bodily harm charge - which he admitted - Neale, a father of one, was also sentenced for offences of dangerous driving, assault with intent to resist arrest and driving whilst disqualified committed last January; and attempted burglary, aggravated vehicle taking and driving whilst disqualified committed last August

If the quote from the Mail is not sufficien:-
From the article in the Mirror;
As well as the GBH charge - which he admitted - Neale was also sentenced for.....

AOG - I am correct in what I say and you are wrong. Take your blinkers off.

(thanks to chelle for providing the link to another article)

AOG, that he was sentenced for the other offences at the same time is as plain as a pikestaff from the very quote you cite; last paragraph at 1519. It could not possibly mean anything else. What, for example,"and two counts" mean? What does 'admitted' followed by the list of offences mean?

Fred, I fear we are wasting our time.
AOG always puts his own interpretation on the facts
Short of dragging him to talk to the man in prison to confirm what we are saying, he will remain blinkered

I am now imagining a conversation between the convict and AOG -
I don't care what you say, I know my interpretation of the article in the Daily Mail is right I tell you!
