Do you know anyone with a criminal record?

mr_fegelien

I'd say the average boardsies would be hard pressed to know anyone with a record or anyone who has been to prison. The average middle class person isn't the one usually committing crimes.

But still, know any family, friends, coworkers who did stupid **** and were hit with the full force of the law?

WTF ?!?!

Gregor Samsa

Extended family member did a few years. The incident that led to his conviction was front page news at the time. Very good guy who made an absolutely appalling set of mistakes (to put it mildly). I visited him in a few of the prisons he served his time in. Horrible experience just visiting prison, let alone being locked up in one. Anyone who says they’re “holiday camps” has no fücking clue.

Yea.

I've heard though that our prisons are better compared to those in the States. More physical and sexual abuse there.

The reason people think that is because prisoners get amenities like TV, Gyms, Courses etc.. but people don't stop to realize it's to make it easier on prison guards. If they had nothing to do, it would be a far more hostile place than it already is.

I think mr_fegelien perhaps struggles a bit with conversations etc.

I've seen this sort of behaviour before, where people ask question after question because they struggle to get involved with normal back and forth conversations and interactions.

I guess if enough people engage with his threads, he feels like he's interacting with those people in some way. Even though in truth, he rarely gets involved or contributes much beyond actually starting the thread.

It's common in autism. They're accused of one-sided discussions.

I have it and in real life, a conversation between myself and another person might play out like it does on here.

Autism affects a persons ability to reply/engage in a thread ?

I didn't know that.

I know a few, armed robbery, larceny, burglary, dangerous driving, criminal damage and assault. Most have drug convictions too of course.
One chap was murdered over 10 years ago.

Most of them appear decent enough lads to be fair ........... a few are total scrotes too of course.

what makes you think the people posting here are middle class?

[Deleted User]

I would say most people would easily know a dozen such people, possibly more.

Even a regulatory offence like speeding forms part of a criminal record.

He’s collecting vital intel to prepare for an invasion by his people. He* has a particular interest in use of chemical mind control and typical mating habits. When his IP address changes to ‘off planet’ we’ll have about a week to sort our defences out.

* May** refer to a committee.

** Actually, probably*** does refer to a committee.

*** Seriously. Has to be a group effort. No one individual could possibly post so much crap singlehandedly survey an entire planet.

Mr. CooL ICE

Yep. Know somebody who did time for animal cruelty and negligence.

I felt sorry for his family. That's all.

Plenty of Sinn Fein and IRA supporters and apologists on this site , along with “wurking” class warriors so... Wouldn’t predict what the average boardsie is or knows

Insect Overlord

I never had it confirmed, but I heard a neighbour of mine ended up in prison for a while in Australia after going AWOL from the army. It sounds too crazy to be made up, but sure, who knows?

lapua20grain

Aye an old mate of mine is in prison for murdering his wife.

corner of hells

I'd say yer man who works in Mountjoy and that other lad , the ex Garda might know a few.

Mister Vain

Yeah a few guys I went to school with definitely have a record. A guy I work with was in prison, no idea what for though.

Tokyo

Had an ex with an uncle on death row in Florida for murdering two campers. She cheerfully gave him my mailing address without my knowledge so he could write to me to pass the time in what I presume to be 23 hours/day solitary confinement. Last I heard, his sentence was commuted to life in prison, so that's nice I guess...

Mad_maxx

Yes ,myself

Lost a case ,foolishly didn't appeal, paid the fine ,conviction struck out following the fine being paid but it would go against me were I to find myself before the courts again

Happened fifteen years ago

KevRossi

My first cousin did 6 months in Mountjoy in the mid-90's for possession of hash and grass. He was 18 when caught and was the local go-to guy for buying stuff for the weekend. He was at the very bottom of the chain, but a local Superintendent was close to retirement and wanted to go out on a bang, so he picked up loads of lads for dealing and buying. Easy pickings.

That was 25ish years ago. When he got out, a neighbour got him working as an apprentice scaffolder, he went totally on the straight and narrow and he made a fair bit during the boom, he's married, one child and a owns semi-D in a decent part of Dublin, so he learned his lesson.

Thing is, the estate he lives in is very middle class, plenty of bored kids messing around, causing the usual trouble, but they leave his side road alone as they knew he was 'inside' and they are a bit wary of him. At Halloween most houses and cars were egged and flour bombed, his and his neighbours were left alone.

I was in school with a total nutcase in my year, he stabbed one lad when we were in first year, was let stay on as his parents were very friendly with the assistant principal, then stabbed another when in third year. He was expelled for that. In both cases they lads got 5 or 10 stitches, nothing more. He then went on to murder two people when he was 18 or 19, but was only done for manslaughter. Died in the UK of a drug overdose a couple of years after he got out of prison (I think he served 9 years). Family were quite well off and well connected in the town.

It a computer program not a person. Feg is short for Frequently Engage Gnomes or Goofballs or something like that.

Strumms

An ex work colleague. Assault and possession of controlled drugs for sale or supply.

He was hired by a manager who was an acquaintance of his, a nice guy who liked bending the rules and giving people a chance but somehow he managed to circumvent the Garda vetting checks - a mystery that. Turned out to be a good worker though if at times a bit unpredictable of a personality...any social night he’d be coked off his nut but so were half the management team.
