    Maybe theres more to the story.
    I mean, he's a brainbox, yet he did an incredibly stupid thing.
    Maybe he has a reason to get his face on tv and be under constant supervision in a distant country.

    Something just doesn't add up here captain.

    No one from the working class area of Newbridge has ever been on a 2 week holiday and have a 3rd level education?

    hope he gets his asshole expanded by bubba and co

    Yep he will be creamed up the swiss roll in showers alright.

    Joking aside I wouldn't wish an american prison on anyone, does the chap watch nat geog.

    His legal defence team will be Kipling and Entemanns. It's pro-bono as he hasn't a crust to his name. So he'll have to use his loaf if he is to rise above this.

    The judge is one tough cookie.

    i would wager most not no , especial in the present climate
    how many working class familys would be able to afford a holiday now, let alone pay 2000 bail money on demand ?


    wise up - you and everyone here knows hes probably a middle class kid

    anyway - if he was working class he would have not been so stupid to go for food - it would have been the till - FTW :eek:

    anyway what working class lad goes to BOSTON for a 2 week holiday ?? Spain - turkey or Amsterdam tends to be the staple food for the working class holiday , im sure there are exceptions to the rule - but this story is not one of them

    Who says he didn't use a bail bondsman?
    Middle class are the rich now?
    3 locations for working class holidays?

    Too many sweeping generalisations so I think Ill leave the debate at this point.

    no , 2000 CASH - read the news report
    he is a ACCOUNTANT who worked for KPMG
    middles class have MORE money than working class - THATS HOW IT IS
    and read what i said - GENERALLY these are the locations where the working class can afford to go on holiday , where the middle class tend to go to italy , Boston ect ect

    as for leaving the debate - you mean you got pushed out for a smart arse post - you should read the links before spouting off

    your so sure hes working class - go prove it - becasue you wont be able - hes middle class - and hes still a twat

    I read the links. Youre the one spouting off calling him a snotty little rich kid.

    Not going to rely on The Sun for "facts" if it's all the same to you. Same report called KPMG stockbrokers.

    I didn't say that he was working class or not but you seem to be able to know for sure he is rich.

    another poster called him a snotty little rich kid , and i agreed

    no you implied he was not " rich " - i implied he was " rich "

    his education , job history and where he is on holiday suggests he is from a middle class back ground
    i am using the presented evidence to make a call on his social class - and i bet im right

    how many working class doctors, accountants or solicitors do you know? very few i would imagine , and same goes in reverse - how many middle class mechanics - plasterers or brick layers do you know ? again they would be far and few between


    im working class - brought up in a working class area , and i know plenty who went to 3rd level - none are accountants - im sure some might be

    but your honestly trying to say that this twat of a accountant is working class or "poor" ? yea right - close the door on the way out

    regardless of his social class or if he is " rich " - he is obviously either stupid or has some kind of mental illness
    as everyone know you dont **** around with the law state side
    good chance this guy is going to be donning a orange outfit and going to county

    unless he has parent with cash to get a good lawyer

    my guess - he will do time - a life changing experience i wager

    Where did I say he was/wasn't rich?

    Average wage of accountant in first three years, which the UCD link suggests he is, is €23,000 per annum.

    Is that what you consider rich?

    and lets face it - your question implies that he is poor - what reason do you have for implying he is poor ?

    a young guy i know ( he was 19 at the time ) done 6 weeks in a county jail in California - cant remember what he done - but nothing violent

    he was waiting for the sale of a car in ireland to pay his fine so he could get out

    he said it was full of Hispanic and African american gang bangers , he said he was constantly in fear of his life - but no one touched him - apparently Californian gang members like the irish :)

    No my question asked why you immediately assumed he was rich?

    It quiet clearly does not suggest he was poor or otherwise.

    it doesn't really at all - one poster asked another a question , and this is the result . its fairly obvious to me that he is a man of means - but you are correct - it matters not in jail

    It was a straight forward question of why you thought he was rich.

    You would have to really be stretching it to make out that I was suggesting he was poor.

    I know this is AH, but I feel sorry for the guy, and his family. He did something silly and now he's in a world of trouble.

    He's charged with armed robbery (no gun) -- if he's convicted, assuming he has no criminal history, that carries a sentence of 40-60 months in state penitentiary.

    http://www.mass.gov/courts/formsandguidelines/sentencing/grid.html

    The story says the police couldn't find the knife, so maybe a good lawyer gets it down to unarmed robbery. Still, 12-36 mos.

    also i did state that im sure there are working class people as accountants , but far less than middle class - just by this alone points towards him not being from sheepmoor in blanch

    and its not a myth - its a question that yet has to be answered - not the same thing - so nothing busted yet

    anyway - this is a side event to the whole story - ucd was being pedantic , this is how we got here.

    To be honest, I think your 'class' isn't something you are born with today, it's to do with your personality. As soon as you even aspire to being an accountant - looking forward to years of study and some pretty tedious work in return for a good lifestyle - you are middle class.

    He got off with a fine, some community service and some compulsory drug counselling (which can be completed in Ireland). If his record is clean for the next 9 months, the charges will be removed from his record completely.
