Couldn't have said it better myself.Xhumed said:I'm disgusted, appalled, and full of rage. Further proof I got out at the right time.
I don't know, the money wasted on that particular demographic (Directly or indirectly) could be spent on drafting them and supporting them through the military. At least that way we would have the manpower to make some significant gains in the current active warzones like Afganistan.Fondant said:And when I look at the murderers....I see a very good reason for killing off a proportion of the UK's population. Problem is, the Queen would never sign off on it.
they'll be out when they're 30? How old are they now?If they are kids, then, despite killing goths being terribe (and i don't get why people would target goths anyway)they are kids-- when they are 30 they are different people, they should be allowed to have a life.beddo said:Today I came across this story:

I'm not a goth and don't even really know many. However, I am a human! Their sentences were only reduced by nine months and some of the reduction requests were denied but seriously WTF!?
The principle alone is outrageous, if the judges agreed that the crimes were particularly horrific then WHY did they reduce the sentences of these criminals!?
Furthermore, why are their sentences so short in the first place!? These people can be out by the time they are in their early 30s when they will be able to have a normal life for another 50 or so years. They will be able to have families and carry on, what does this girl's family get!? They have to live with the loss of their daughter.
I feel justified in saying that justice has not been done in this case.
The UK legal system is a mess with systematic weaknesses. Sentences are short, jails are full, judges have their hands tied, politicians are unwilling to act. The system is corrupt, when officers commit crimes they cover it up, they frame people and torture them (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/northamptonshire/7595860.stm) without being punished by law. Justice is almost dead in the UK.
I am going to try and contact the court of appeals or CPS to complain over this matter. I will also contact my MP and try to get a letter to Mr.Brown the Prime Minister for an explanation of his thoughts.
Please let me know your thoughts on the issue.

See where it's going?
The problem with our society is that it has no way of dealing with criminals.
Prisons are crime universities. The people coming out of prisons cannot be re-integrated in normal life, so they commit more crimes.
We need to prevent crime. Not react after the crime has been commited. An impossible task.
After reading this post all i can say is remember when people would tie a guys limbs to horses then have them take off?? what was wrong with that???beddo said:Today I came across this story:

They took away one life and ruined another under the justification of 'they looked different' people like that shouldn't be allowed anywhere near anyone else let alone the privilege to breathe.TheDean said:they'll be out when they're 30?
