I got 7 years for robbing a 24hr garage, i know people who got less for robbing post offices. is that fair?

i got away with 200 cash and £350 worth of cigs, i also sprayed the guy in the face with cs gas. the guys who robbed the post office used hammers replica hand guns and got away with about 10 grand. this is not a fake question, i just spent the last 6 years in hmp garth and was released a couple of weeks ago. my prison number was ek9609 carey.

miss smidgey
you didn't get long enough my son works nite shift in a 24hr garage & scum like you make me sick he works for a living not because he enjoys it
if you done that to him I would want to rip your throat out
how can you afford a computer after spending so long in the nick when the rest of us have to work hard for one

you should have got life

No, it wasn't fair.

On the other hand, it wasn't fair for you to assault a working guy and steal from his employer. When you dish it out you shouldn't whine when it comes back to you.

Surely you were told, "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime."

I bet the person you robbed and sprayed in the face does not think you got put away long enough!!! Your question shows no sign of regret on your part, only anger that someone else got a better deal than you, that to me shows that you obviously were not put away long enough to learn anything!!! Get over it, you did the crime , do the time!!


justdavesplace
Oh booh hooh.
You got what you deserved. Period.
And you know what? You probably will end up back in prison. I bet it wasnt your first time around was it?

Truthfully, you're lucky that's all you got. Sheeessshhh! What the heck were you thinking? Yes...it's fair, and you should have gotten longer. I think spraying the guy in the face with CS gas is what got you that long. That's Assault with intent to commit bodily harm. That alone in the US carries a term on it's own. Then there's the charge of Robbery. What did you expect?, a slap on the wrist?

Ha Ha your gonna get bum'ed in prison!!

The only thing not fair about it was you did not get any longer and how you can even ask such a question about being fair is beyond me.
I feel sorry for you after seven years you are sitting at the computer and asking this question.
Get a life and move on and consider yourself luck that they released you at all

Just goes to show you that other was just a bit smarter than you. I'm sure you'll make up the next time you go to prison.

Yea, you're going back.

No it is not Fair.
Fair would have been to have exterminated you.
My ideal society would see robbers of any description taken out the back and shot.
The jails would empty overnight.................
Zero Tolerence my friend.
So, consider yourself lucky that I am not in power.

Because you are human trash and need to be in prison. You see, it's like this. You had no right to rob and assault the victim. In a perfect world you would have been executed.

Just thank your lucky stars that you did not try this in the states you would have got 30 years for it. or shot by the cops. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and try to learn from the error of your ways. Now go out there and be an honest citizen

Perhaps instead of thinking about how fair your prison sentence was, you should think about how fair it was on the people you commited the crime against....

good for you!!! You were not as smart as them! say hi to Bubba I think his cousin Goober owned that garage.

1. You should have got much longer.
2. CS gas in the face Umm Assualt
3. If you spent 6 years of a 7 year stretch, you didn't exactly "bide your time" did you? If you had you'd been out in 3 1/2 years probably less if you had been out on remand before.


frankturk50
You sound like you dont give a toss just sorry because you got what most people would call a light sentence for the crime.Good side is you've leant the ropes for when you go back,because you will.

I take it this is a wnd up, if not then you should go and see a head doctor.


Our Man In Bananas
life's not fair though ... was it fair that the poor guy in the garage had cs gas sprayed in his eyes?

What you should have done was got a job like everyone else!

If you can't do the time son, then don't do the crime...

who gives a monkeys if its fair, you are a criminal and deserve to stay locked up as far as i'm concerned.

i hoped you learnt your lesson, you obviously weren't a good thief if you got caught, what a joke, 6 years inside for £550, you might as well have just stayed on the dole, you would have been richer, lol


louise
why did you even rob the garage in the first place. my thought on this matter is that you should of got more because what gives you the rite to spray someone in the face when they are just trying to earn aliving . well i hope when you were inside that you have had your head cleared and you will not do that again. you should go out and get a job and you would see how hard it is to make a living and earn your own money. if we all rob what would the world come to. i really hope you dont do this again it is no life to have a criminal record hanging over your head. which will make it harder for you to get a job. you only have one life on this earth and im sure you dont want to spend the rest of your days behind bars.


rebel
i got a three and a half for a poxy abh,its never fair,plod always lies and blows it up out of proportion,its made me very angry and bitter,dont like the police and they are so corrupt,still we are out now,be good,if not dont get caught
