Topic: Sent to jail for defending your family Return to archive

Rolling Hansie It seems the original thread is gone, or I am too stupid to find it. So, here is my original message again, added with a snail mail adress to send a postcard to Stephen.

I know this is absolutely Off Topic, and I am very sorry to bother you with this, but it is so important to me, that I can't resist to post it anyway. A dear friend of mine send me the story of her brother who was sentenced to jail, because he defended himself against someone who attacked him with a knife and a metal baton. You can find the story at the link I posted below. You can also sign a petition there. BTW, I think some of you might know Liz (aka Boss), it's her brother.

Edit: Stephen is close to an appeal. If you want to send him a postcard, and please do, here is the address:

Stephen Armstrong no.106633
HMP Prison
Barlinnie Glasgow
G33 2QX United Kingdom

pdog There's some questions I have.. Initially it says he was with his children, some under school age... Then it talks about him protecting his wife later. i'm just curious, was she there? It also says they got into the car, I have to young boys, it takes a few minutes to get inot the car... The link didn't seem to provide a good synopsis, is this worth reading the other links about. I've been in somewhat similar situations. It's fucked dealing with assholes when your kids are around...

glencar Is this guy a Stones fan? I have a great postcard I'd like to send...

Rolling Hansie Any card will do Glencar. But his sister Liz is a great Stonesfan. So if you send a Stonescard he will know where it's coming from

Rolling Hansie You are right pdog. The stories are not all the same. If you got the time and you click the other links, you will find out that one aspect is constantly the same. He was threatened and reacted.

Rolling Hansie But as I posted before, I cannot find the original thread with the rest of the information. I just added this one, so people who want to, can send a postcard to Stephen.

Which does not, in itself, insulate one from criminal liability.
