Help with friend being assaulted

[tinatsarina]

Hi this may be long bear with me.

A friend (A) loaned another friend (B) money a while back, for them to celebrate something, turns out they bought drugs with it (begins with c). A then asks for repayment as they were told B's partner C would pay it back the next day. B then tells A that no A said it was a gift (A didn't say that).

A asked for the money again last night, B said no then the partner C said that they would contact the school A's partner works in to say they are with a dealer etc A then goes to B's house and a fight ensues with B attacking A first. A gets B off them and fights back but then C runs out of the house and begins kicking A in the head, B and C are now attacking A. It finishes and A gets home but is covered in cuts and now is struggling to move with a sore head and ribs.

Any ideas what can be done A is worried about reporting them for assault because of what they said about the drugs but after speaking to A this morning I'm furious for them and also wondering about helping them to get checked out for injuries.

If A is otherwise, legally, squeaking clean, report the assault, B,C won’t have any proof of their allegations.

Morally and practically, A is still involved in the lifestyle if he is lending money to drug users. I wouldn’t be involved in anyway with A, B or C as they make poor choices and are involved, in some way, with drugs and all the drama that goes with them.

report assault to the police,

money is lost cause, forget it, you were never going to get it back from a drug user

A needs to remove B and C from his life forever! Forget the lonely it's lost and not worth the surrounding drama and pain

D, E, F and the rest of the alphabet including OP need to keep the Hell away from cokehead twats permanently.

Treat it as a learning experience. Addicts will steal and beat the shit out of anybody who interferes with their access to more drugs.

Why would A be worried about his school/ work if it was B who bought the drugs and B who assaulted A? It’s not dealing to lend someone money even if they then buy drugs with the money! I don’t see where A has done anything he should be worried about his school finding out about? He should report to the police. How much money was it?

It is complicated because it makes no sense. A borrowed b the money for drugs. Then A threatened to report b to Cs school and yet it's now A that doesn't want to report assault because of what b and c said about the drugs, when it was actually A that said that about the drugs in the first place. The entire post makes no sense

I think A was worried because of his history with it all but I told him they aren't going to arrest him for past usage, they are the ones who are clearly taking the stuff. And for others who asked it was around £50

I think I've convinced A to report the assault so if there is an update I'll let you know

Report assault to the police.
Make a claim through the Small claims court for the money.

A should write off the money, that was lost the second it was handed over to a known drug taker who was celebrating not being jailed for having been caught.

If A needs medical attention he should get it and if that leads to repercussions for the others then so be it.

Then A should write off these 'friends' they are adding nothing to his life and putting him at risk.

You're absolutely sure that it wasn't A using, making an excuse for not having the money anymore and then getting in a fight from not paying for a second bag bought on tick?

No A lent B money as B was going out to celebrate with family as they had just had a drug conviction dismissed

I assume you are the partner of A, the above statement says it all, A lent a druggie money, and was upset when he spent it on drugs.
Then A went around to confront B and get his money back, it turned into a fight, then the partner of B jumped in.

Why would they come to A first to supply this, I'm assuming he was a past dealer. So yes I can't imagine the police going over and above to prioritise this case with their current case loads.

Best advice - stay away from A, B and C.

It makes perfect sense. You mean A lent B the money though.
