Great British Justice

[Wig44.]

Clearly it's fast he DROVE off, and if this justice system was right it would be guilty until proven innocent, like i think it is in Scotland

You obviously don't understand the implications of what you're saying - guilty until proven innocent? No way! What a horrible idea, eurgh.

You're blowing things out of proportion, I'm not arguing his case strongly or playing the devils advocate. People were suggesting he should be executed, chucking around that he was foreign and saying that he was a murderer. I could pretty much say the same to you, do you know the guy who died or something? I don't have much of an issue with the sentence, I think it should be a bit longer but the justice system seems to of worked here.

Indeed, but the Daily Mail like to mask justice with stupid comments like "he was playing rap music" and that he was apparently "driving off laughing". Justice worked, the man was proven guilty. If anything, the sentence could be longer. The Justice System worked, it's whether or not the sentence should be longer which is the main question.

Execution etc is too far, granted. And of course I don't know the victim but pretty much 100% of the time I'll sympathise with someone in that situation over a little **** who couldn't give a crap about anybody else and doesn't appear to even show any remorse. If this was different and the lad had stopped after killing a man in a 30 zone and got out of his car clearly showing visible emotion and regret, then I would believe that that person understood what he had done and that it would live on his conscience for the rest of his life - which to me is a far worse punishment than anything a court can do. But no, this **** didn't even bat an eyelid.

Indeed it worked to an extent, but it's by no means good or great. Finding the right people of being guilty seems good, but the sentences given out are disgraceful. The 13 year old boy who raped a woman in a park and bragged to her boyfriend got let off because he said 'sorry', paedophiles getting 4 years and such for raping underage girls... assault is dealt with softly. I hear people laughing about community service all the time:- one boy on a bus I was on was gloating to his friend about stabbing a police officer in the arm with a scalpel and he only got community service... to top it off they were saying it's a laugh and the guy who's in charge doesn't care if they mess on their phones.

Excellent, that's really going to make them realise they did wrong and should change. Ah well, if the country wants criminals out early and crappy sentences then they can have them.

I could go on and on all day with examples, it's not just a few cases it happens with. You are correct, the length of the sentence is an issue.
