To not agree with people being charged with public nuisance

[User5666]

When they attempt suicide in public places. Not sure if I’m allowed to go into any detail but I’m done you can read between the lines.

He would have been charged with a public nuisance because that would have been the easiest one to immediately prove. This would have enabled the police to arrest him and take him to a place where he could get the help he needs.

This is ignorant nonsense. Don't mouth off on things you have absolutely no knowledge of.

The police have s136 powers to remove someone to a place of safety. No need to criminalise someone.

Suicide was decriminalised for very good reason and it is repugnant to be criminalising it by abusing other parts of our legal system. Shame on everyone supporting such abuse.

It kills people and destroys lives.

You won’t know the full story y from a press article, this may not have been his first attempt, yes he needs help, but how do you know he has refused help and this is the only way forward? You don’t

I used to work with a young woman who was driving her car when a man jumped off a bridge and landed on her car. He was killed and she was so traumatised that she was off work for almost a year.

So many other lives must have been affected on both sides.

Mochudubh That’s awful.
