onewheeldave Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I can only assume you think there's some significant difference between the victim contacting the criminal and naming his price to be bought off, and the criminal contacting the victim and asking what he wants to keep quiet. There isn't. The gym owner isn't looking to be 'bought off'- here's what he says- The former WBO European, Commonwealth and English champion said: “I would rather work with young people and get them off the streets rather than having them going around burgling and robbing. “Not many people would do this but I am willing to give him a second chance if he is man enough to admit what he did.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelworker Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The gym owner isn't looking to be 'bought off'- here's what he says- He wants the thief to work off the roof repair costs. He may be well intentioned but why does he think he can do a better job than the justice system and professional rehabilitation workers. If he really wants to help young criminals and he can do better than the current professionals he should change career. Is he willing to accept responsibility if the thief robs my house under his care? He is wrong when he says not many people would do what he's offering. If you get robbed the chances are you don't get your things back. What he has offered is for the thief to repair his roof so it puts him in his previous situation and in return he wont go jail. It's selfish and misguided, a good deal for him and the thief perhaps, but what about anyone else who may get robbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once this lad gets a criminal record then people with a similar attitude to yourself will hold it against him and his job prospects will be greatly diminished. This may lead the lad to end up being forced down the path of criminality due to the record affecting his career options... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimrunner Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 There's a chance thats this is not his first rodeo and by reporting it to the police may help them with other instances, morally this is what he should do. whilst his intentions are good this could open a can of worms and not in his favour. personally this kid needs reporting and hopefully adequate charges brought against him as he is well aware of his actions.

mafya Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) What makes you think he hasn’t already got a criminal record? Good point, if he has got a record then the Opportunity to turn his life round that the gym owner is offering him may actually help get him off the path of criminality.

Sidonica Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 What makes you think he hasn’t already got a criminal record? What makes you think he has? Either way he is being offered the opportunity to put things right and hopefully change his ways. If it was your son would you be so keen for him to have a criminal record?
