He had a head wound, he shouldn't be charged at all

ktybear: He had a head wound, he shouldn't be charged at all

Yeah, head injuries tend to scramble a person's thinking. In his mind, getting to the hospital in an ambulance might have made perfect sense.

Maybe the EMT guys got in a fight over candy and left.

FTA: "When Credit was arrested, there was a noticeable puncture wound to his head."

I laughed out loud.

So get up, get get get down
911 is a joke in your town,
Get up get get get down
Late 911 wears the late crown

in his defense...... i guess i would go with head wound trauma.... since birth.

Exactly! Reading the article drunk also makes you think taking the ambulance was a good idea. Seriously.

Now that is some bad Credit.

ktybear: He had a head wound, he shouldn't be charged at all

Yeah, this will be a fine waste of taxpayers' money... nice long drawn out court procedure, made longer by continuances since the DA will know it's a crock of shiat that cannot be won with any defense claiming diminished capacity due to the injuries and, most importantly, head wound.... but, hey, the economy is in such great shape, why not waste a hundred grand on this!?

ha ha
no, this is where police discretion in the application of summary offences is called for, that's why they have it

the cops should never have written a ticket in the first place, but since they have, then yeah, dumb bunnies

If we are going to have these annoying buttons on here, we should include ones that are for "Bad Pun" or "Boooo!".

/Psych patient took my ambulance while I was in the ER with a patient. Apparantly, he wanted to pick up his girlfriend in style.
//He ACTUALLY brought the ambulance back to the ER, and apologized to us after the fact.

I was at the ER last week and got a scolding because I left the keys in the ambulance when I unloaded the pt. Not a high crime area plus it was midnight, but still I should be wary. I do personally know a guy that stole an ambulance from another local hospital, plus I'd rather not have to explain how we lost our LP15 and all our meds :(

Credit has been charged with auto burglary and grand theft auto

Is that like murder and homicide?

And yet, 99.9% of the people who agree that this is a waste of money think that government jobs that produce nothing are STIMULUS!!! and scream that the economy will collapse if we don't have millions of worthless bureaucrats twiddling their thumbs for 40 hours per week in overpriced government offices.

Lifepak 15? Who'd you blow to get a choice piece of equipment such as this?

/still stuck using a beat-up LP12.
//Atleast it'll do Automatic BPs and 12-leads. :(

Private non profit ALS. Our "old" truck is 2 years old. We have 15's and a spare 12 on the trucks, plus Lucas thumpers. Also we have a 45% out of hospital cardiac arrest survival rate, not 5% :) (also, we're hiring medics! EIP)

DA's are on salary, so they get paid the same no matter what, and it would likely be a one day trial. So yeah, not $100K. Will likely plea it down to a joyride anyway.

If you knew how many drunken aholes come into ER's causing shiat with "head injuries" after fights where they of course were in the right, "attacked," you might be a little more jaded.

OBTW, "head wound" does not equal "not guilty by reason of insanity."

Subby.

The Blind Fury: Credit has been charged with auto burglary and grand theft auto

Is that like murder and homicide?

No, it's like breaking into someone's house, then killing them.

Burglary, roughly, = entering a building or vehicle with the intent to commit a theft or felony. So, burglary, whether or not he ultimately stole the amberlamps.

I'm not sure I like the idea of charging him with auto burglary and grand theft auto both. This is clearly one crime, and I'm not a fan of trying to making things look worse than they are.

But I was mostly surprised at people complaining that he got arrested. He stole an ambulance. That's illegal, everyone knows it. Saying "Oh, but he had been injured, so it's OK" simply makes no sense at all. And while it apparently didn't, it *could* have had a major impact on someone else. Death, for instance. They had gone out on a call, so someone thought they needed an ambulance. The ambulance arrives, and instead of taking them to the hospital, it get stolen by this idiot.

I've no sympathy for thieves, and I can't see any reason to just say "Hey, don't do that again" and let him go.

I say charge him with two crimes. Charge him for breaking into the vehicle and charge him with stealing. We are already way too lenient on criminals. Time to get strict. Besides, what if the person being treated by the EMTs had had a life-threatening injury/condition?

JuggleGeek: "Oh, but he had been injured, so it's OK" simply makes no sense at all.

Which may be why you're the only person in this thread who has said any such thing.

The point being made is that the confusion and disorientation caused by the head injury could be a reason why taking the ambulance to the hospital made sense to him. Or that a defense attorney could successfully argue such a thing.

Philbb: Which may be why you're the only person in this thread who has said any such thing.

Finding evidence that says otherwise is trivial. You're lying about stuff that anyone can see.

Here is one example. There are others.

No, not lying. There are no posts here that I can find that say that an injury should negate the charges. Each one is saying that the head injury should be taken into account as a mitigating factor. Including the example you just used.

Having an injury is not relevant. Having side effects from a significant head trauma, indicated by the statement "... there was a noticeable puncture wound to his head.", is.

You were lying. We all know it. I'll just mark you as a troll and move on.

And no matter how much assholes like you want to pretend, having a head injury doesn't make it legal for people to do this kind of stuff.
