A man who avoided prison after being convicted of a street attack has been jailed for refusing to perform unpaid work, then boasting about it online. David Newlands, 24, was given 150 hours community service for punching a vulnerable man in Glasgow last year.
He refused to perform the unpaid work and was twice given another chance.
Judge Norman Ritchie jailed Newlands for nine months after hearing he posted on Facebook: "I'm out bro, easy." The judge added: "As they say, LOL."
Newlands, who is currently serving an eight-month sentence for assault and breach of the peace, will serve the latest sentence when his current sentence ends.
The court heard that he later posted on Facebook: "A got a high court conviction n they never sent me eh jail instead gave me a community order ..told them to stick it...so got sent back to court n what do they dae?
"The judge says mr Newlands I would refer to you as an idiot..n then what does he dae? He geez me it again...probation am no dayn it simple!!!"
After being returned to court, Newlands admitted breaching the order.
Judge Ritchie told him: "It's always interesting to see a different view on sentencing as in 'I'm out bro easy.' As they say lol."
The judge added: "I gave you two chances. You didn't take the chances. I hope you don't think I'm doing this out of anger. In truth it enlivened what was otherwise a dull day."
Here is my attempt at a simple translation into American English (in red):
A got a high court conviction n they never sent me eh jail instead gave me a community order ..told them to stick it...so got sent back to court n what do they dae?
I got a high court conviction and the never sent me to jail. Instead, they gave me a community order [community service]. I told them to stick it, so I was sent back to court, and what do they do?
The judge says mr Newlands I would refer to you as an idiot..n then what does he dae? He geez me it again...probation am no dayn it simple!!!
The judge says, "Mr. Newlands, I would refer to you as an idiot. And then what does he do? He gives it to me again, probation and I am not doing it. Simple as that!!!
Bwahaha. Thanks. Sometimes I need some truly epic levels of stupidity getting whats deserved to brighten my day!
