So much for equality under the law

Sick Society

After the riots:
“In Manchester, Eoin Flanagan, 18, pleaded guilty to theft after he was arrested in Oxford Road with two jumpers and two pieces of musical equipment; he was jailed for eight months.
At Camberwell Green magistrates, Nicholas Robinson, 23, an electrical engineering student with no previous convictions, was jailed for the maximum permitted six months after pleading guilty to stealing bottles of water worth £3.50 from Lidl in Brixton. “

Toby

no need for insults you sweat off a baboon's balls

analysis:
anarchists and other leftists armchair critics can criticise sentencing but seem unable to offer a better solution. Therefore should be ignored until they can. Anyone can peck, few can lead and have the balls to put themselves forward to make a decision

anarchists are ditherers who wouldn't be able to make tough choices for worry of criticism.
They give-in to their peers and let people walk over them

answer to question

To answer Toby's (possibly rhetorical) question:

The looters should get medals, not prison or fines.

People who have slaves should have their wealth stripped from them and have their housing confiscated from them.

People who use the cover of the rioting to mug ordinary people or burn ordinary homes should get a kicking.

HTH

Medals?!?!

15.08.2011 22:07

Thats stupid

Most of the public are cursing the looters name
Residents are outraged. I think giving medals to criminals would be rubbing salt in the wounds.
It is akin to giving a rapist the nobel peace prize

Dear Toby.

I think you might need help.

If you truly believe that Rape and Smashing windows are in the same category there is something wrong with you.

Get a grip man.
