Notorious character 'Ozzey' locked up for breach of Asbo

“Why they keep sending Ozzy to jail is not only a complete waste of time but also a complete waste of tax payers money because he should be in a proper institute were he would get the proper care that is warranted. He should have been offered professional help years ago and with a bit of help he probably wouldn't be the person that he is today.

Too many people are quick to jump to conclusions and i always say that whenever anyone is walking around and they see alcoholics and people conducting themselves in an inappropriate manner that there does nine times out of ten happen to be a reason for such behaviour.

One in three people suffer with some form of mental illness within their lives and instead of people laughing at the less fortunate they really should sit back and analyse the situation before making any form of judgement. Remember, it doesn't matter how old or how strong a person is mental illnesses can affect anyone at any stage of their lives. Here for the grace of god is what i say.

I just hope that one day Ozzy receives proper care by trained professionals that specialise in mental illnesses rather than being sent to prison repeatedly. A short term jail sentence is not the answer!”

“he clearly needs help rather than punishing, every time I see him in town in asda or outside asda he has a chat with me,my partner and my daughter, he would never hurt anyone he is harmless he needs a lot of help since he is obviously not coping well with the loss of his wife who sadly passed 25 years ago......they should look at his situation and help him rather than locking him up poor guy x”

“i think if we listen to neilfox01 then we will be expected to feel sorry for every person with a drinking problem on the street and create excuses for them constantly, this does not help the public and in my opinion does not help the person. giving them a sharp wake up call is needed as they can then start to realise what they are doing is not going to be tolerated. yes they may get symptoms when coming off the booze but who do they have to blame, this is what you get for the constant abuse to your body. lets hand out harder sentences and try to build this community back up mainly for our children.”

“Anxiety, depression, low self esteems are all side effect's of alcoholism, however nuisance, reckless, antisocial behaviour are not. The majority of people with alcoholism participate and indulge their addiction alone.

Ozzy would appear to benefit from the chaos his behaviour causes and enjoy's the attention he receives as a consequence. He is not interested in modifying his behaviour as he does not want to change. You can not force someone to change their lifestyle choices if they do not want to.

The only way to force Ozzy to address his issues and addiction is via a custodial sentence however I believe 12 weeks will be inadequate as this will only actually equate to six weeks inside. Perhaps an eighteen month programme of incarceration and rehabilitation and counselling would be more appropriate. With supervised administration of Antabuse on release, and introduction back into some form of structured activity.”

“grow up ozzy,,before you injure yourself permananetly or someone does that for you,in jail reflect on coeing strageys a book a new education, fishing volunteering”

“men have gone to war had arms an legs blown of but they dont beg for sympat5hy act childish in the street, or frighten folk doing thier day to day busyiness”

“why do we have a social services, if its not to correct this type of behaviour to embarass him an let him no its wrong and people can cope with adversity, theres counsilling at a hospital. why do we have phschycartists if we dont use them what do they do all day. it should be illegil to behave that way infront of children, god even children are more grown up than him”

“ozzy, needs to grow up, hes not a child and needs not to be forgiven, but told in no uncertain to grow up infront of children alot of very young children are carrers for thier parents and do not behave as inapropiertly as him is is digracefull. needs to be locked up in a mental institutaion as he has damged his brain or told to man up, sorry but pecure this mnan to acr no worse than a spoilt child is wrong an setting a bad example to children”

“anyone else would be treated more harshly but for some reason ozzy is being given chance after chance, i think he needs to be dealt with abit more harshly then he my realise he can't keep doing this. Lots of people have had a hard life but don't carry on like that”

“what is the point in locking this man up”
