Paul2412 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 That is precisely why victims should have no say in sentencing. I agree, but you can't help but think that the judge based his sentence on how much it was going to cost to lock these 3 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Casper Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 That is precisely why victims should have no say in sentencing. You are just too good to be true. As with this appalling act, the punishement doesn't always fit the crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2012 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 No, it does not elevate you at all. It makes you a killer, and (i assume) an adult killer rather than a child who has tortured someone. They should go to jail for a decent amount of time btw It would make you worse than they have ever been. And don't forget that the original post i was responding to also advocated that the judge should also be murdered - not the postings of a sane person, frankly. My bold. How exactly?

Disco Stu Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Good post! There's a lot who post on here don't live in the real world either! Your not joking there mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 My bold. How exactly? All they did was torture. You're wanting to kill. Has anybody stopped to ask what purpose would be served by locking up these people? Are they likely to commit the same offence again? Would making them work for the benefit of society not be a more usefl sentence? ...and preferably, a hell of a lot more than 80 hours of it. Have them clearing litter and digging trenches for the next twelve months, and get some of the work done that we can't afford to pay people to do.

dell12 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 My bold. How exactly? Say a young shoplifter gets locked up. When they're inside and they will mix with burglars and muggers. They have the potential to become a far more dangerous criminal by being locked up, rather than their behaviour being nipped in the bud by some sort of community service or meeting the victims of their crime. Clearly prison has to be an option, but i'm not convinced locking petty criminals up works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some figures somewhere comparing recidivist numbers in the two groups ie those that were locked up and those with community orders?

Erm, justice for the young boy they attacked, kidnapped, humilliated and probably scared for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
