WTF is wrong with people these days?

[Karlos]

Hi,

I found out a good mate (who shall remain unnamed) was assaulted in a bar Friday night. A complete stranger, unprovoked in any way decided to smash a bottle over his head and then lay into him and the two friends he was with, one of whom is a hulking big bugger who managed to pan him.

Fortunately my friend was lucky enough not to be cut or have any major trauma save a nasty concussion, which came as a big relief. I've known the guy the best part of 20 years and in all that time I've never seen him do anything to provoke anybody.

Of course he's pressing charges against the guy. I hope the fecker gets locked up :-x

What drives someone to attack a complete stranger this way?

[Karlos]

From the sounds of it, the guy just came from nowhere and attacked him out of the blue, the first shot being the bottle over the head.

What kind of chickensh!t thing to do is that?

[Karlos]

It's times like this I'm glad I gave up drinking and generally prefer to avoid bars and such. However, it's a tad extreme as a solution and I doubt it would suit most people. After all, you should be able to go for a night out without wondering if some drunken psycho is going to start on you :-(

[Karlos]

@All,

Thanks for the get well soon sentiments; I'll relay them to him when I catch him next.

Best wishes to your mate karlos, though I think he is more likely to be weirded out by the idea of random freaks on some obscure website wishing him well than to gain any form of support from it.

He actually is a member here, he's just not a regular visitor. Aside from wanting to rant about it, I also thought that he might get some cheer from everybody's well wishing :-)

I also kept it anonymous just in case it's embarrasing for him.

Cheers Karlos, and thanks everyone for the get wells.
I'm nearly back to normal apart from a slight pain in my jaw.
I've not heard anything back from the police yet but i'll let everyone know what the outcome is.

Hi bud :-D

I was wondering if you would post. I'm glad to hear you are feeling better anyway. Good luck with the case - as mdma points out they are a sack of **** for the most part.

Still, in a completely unprovoked attack they must surely recognise your rights for compensation as much as they ought to recognise the nutter's culpability.

I'd just like to see him banged up.

Yeah. Perhaps he might get a taste of his own medicine if he is in the habit of starting trouble...

[Karlos]

nearly fekking died, lost the sight in one eye for a very long time, will be on 11 varying tablets a day for the rest of my life due to the damage done to my brain, and oh yes nearly forgot...... Lost a £40k a year career........

Oh man, that is harsh. So this guy gets to wander around free to cause more trouble and you get all this?

*speechless*

-edit-

I was advised by that ambulance chasing tw@t that i'd get loss of earnings if he dealt with the CICA for me. Arsehole!

Feck! You should take that sad sack of fertilizer to court himself for criminal ineptness, impersonating someone useful and fraud. FFS, who was he? Lionel Huntz?

[Karlos]

With any luck, the little sh*t is habitually walking into things and slipping on bars of soap whilst inside, if you know what I mean...

[Karlos]

@Kenny

Given the relative laxity of the justice system in keeping murderers locked up, all you need are a few vigilante-type assasins of known murderers and other hardened criminals and you could clean up in a few years...

[Karlos]

@Andy

Dude, you are making me homesick :lol:

As in sick of home. Hmm, what shennanigans will happen when I come back to see the folks, I wonder?

 Hey Karlos just stay out of Church Street and you will be ok mate.

Used to be a canny place back in the day; apart from the "square kitchen cafe" place. Worst greasy spoon... ever.

Now it's just full of places for binge drinkers to get lashed and start trouble :-(

It's quite disgusting really.

Disgusting indeed.
