the student who threw the fire extinguisher from the roof

[Bobbisox]

Has handed himself in to the Police,
should he be done for attempted murder?
or let off with a caution as no one was hurt
what do you think?

[Bobbisox]

I have read with interest jakes link MM
it has to be substantiated by 3 or more people to prove anything
so it is possible a caution or perhaps wilful damage could be the outcome?

[MickyMacgraw]

A prison sentence and a haircut would suffice.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha he did resemble Mick Hucknall a bit only he wasn't a ginger minger

[MickyMacgraw]

He certainly lived up to the stereotype of scruffy university student.

He could be charged with the more serious of the two criminal damage offences, i.e. reckless as to whether death or injury might be caused. Any decent, self-respecting university would send him down permanently.

[Bobbisox]

like him....Mick Hucknall
before the Ginger Brigade think I am calling anyone ;)

As has been said, attempted murder cannot stick. This is because attempted murder is a crime of specific intent - ie it cannot be committed recklessly.

I would think most likely charges will be riot, violent disorder or affray (max sentences of 10 years, 5 years and 3 years respectively on indictment). There could be a secondary one of criminal damage (to the fire extinguisher).

[Bobbisox]

and yet, sqad says it should not effect his education????

[MickyMacgraw]

And an third charge for the floor he damaged barmaid.

[mike11111]

People have been known to take degrees in prison.

[Bobbisox]

yes Mike they have
cheers Barmaid x

A colleague has just made me laugh by saying wouldn't it be funny if the man in question was studying the Biomechanics of Shot Putting.

[Bobbisox]

ha-ha...brilliant!

[MickyMacgraw]

I'm still choking from that comment bobbisox.

[Bobbisox]

lol

[MickyMacgraw]

I 100% agree bobbisox, I'm not sure whether we've met before but pleased to meet you.

[Bobbisox]

[Gromit]

The fiire extinguisher one should be let off.

I cannot believe some of the support this idiot is getting, it is not as if he was a child who accidental pushed a heavy planter off a high rise balcony, this guy belonged to our so called intelligent classes, and he did it deliberately.

What if it had been a dummy bomb accidentally released from an aircraft, onto a crowded school playground, would the pilot have got the same sympathetic responses, had there also not been any injuries?
