Scot with pole in court, what will happen? Follow the drama here!

Hi

I have a question or two that somebody might be able to answer

My mate from Scotland has a court appearance next month for being in possession of a weapon and I'm wondering what the likelihood of him getting into serious trouble would be.

I'm gonna call my mate "john". So John was out with his brother last christmas and a group of lads punched his brother. John then had a scuffle with the lads, one of the lads picked up a stick. John picked one up too. The police came, the lads ran off and now John is up in court..

So..What do you think will happen?
Will he get a fixed fine or community service..or both?

I don't think he has any previous record.
He has a Job. 9-5 and doesn't cause trouble.

p.s - John never hit anyone with the pole

"One guy picked up a stick, john did too"

"John didnt hit anyone with the pole"

Which is it a stick or a pole? I advise getting his story straight first.

Hi John,

Of all the forums on the internet to choose from, you pick AH.
Bon chance!


Get yourself a solicitor.

Put him in the stocks for 24 hours. Feckin' Scots, stealing our sticks.

What's wrong with carrying a pole? Your friend John should bring the pole to court and claim that he always carries it on him, and that they got it all wrong. Case dismissed.

We need to clamp down on the vermin like this who make us afraid to walk alone at night, mandatory sentences, prison shouldn't be a holiday camp, what about my human rights? and so on.

Also, don't tell the judge you have a username called "monst3r kill."
It won't reflect well on you.

Public stocks in the town square sounds fair, who is bringing the rotten veg?

This is not the dark ages where you had to use your own food stuffs. Rotten fruit and veg will be provided.

He's ****ed! Nice and hard!

Scottish court? In Britain?
Why do you ask on an Irish forum?

On topic, good thing the UK have abolished the lethal injection, except in Glasgow.

Damn misleading post!

I was looking forward to a fight to the death between a scotch & a Pole. Whoever loses we win!

Maybe he/she is Irish?

Actually there really clamping down on this sort of thing(especially in Glasgow) so your friend I'm afraid is for the 'high jump'!

No lethal injection in Glasgow though(not the kind you can talk about in polite society anyway:rolleyes:)!

As for will he be in trouble? He already IS in trouble Dude.

It's nice to see they've given Cluedo a gritty, urban reboot.

A bottle of whiskey and a Pole?:cool:

Hit him with some swans... that'll learn him.

Logical Fallacy

The most obvious line of defence is to claim it was just an impromptu Morris Dance Off that the cops misinterpreted as a street crime.

Legal forum may be helpful OP.

Also, contact a solicitor.

Surely a Scotsman would use the old "it's a minature caber m'lord" excuse.

If the judge is not convinced get "John" to do some examples of his caber tossing techniques.

artvanderlay

Can we change John's name to Jock and the pole's name to Tomasz just to make it easier to distinguish between the Scot and the Pole?

Now let's start again; Jock hit someone with Tomasz and now they're both up in court? Is that right?

Happened to a mate of a mate of mine, picked up a shovel handle in a garden to defend himself from a gang of lads that had set upon him. Coppers show up, nick him. He gets to go to court with scummers as the injured party.
