Beretta28g Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I agree that he should have been punished, possibly with a more serious charge, I think it was a foolis and rrisponsible act, however, i think that other things that happned on the protests were more serious and should have been delt with first, also perhaps a fine and a commuinity order. He handed himself in so he isnt likley to do a bunk and perhaps a wait for a trial with all thats hanging over him would have helped too. Mungler you do have a very valid point Beretta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 You would have thought , if the lad had the intelligence to get into Uni..he would of had the intelligence not to throw the FI.... sorry, but he deserves all he gets..about time these Idiots were put in place instead of a slapped wrist He wasn't in a Uni, he was attending a very rural polytechnic studying for a useless "degree" that wouldn't have got him a job as a binman, no disrespect to binmen! As has been said elsewhere, he is 18, an age at which I, and others, had a job with responsibility and is old enouugh to know what he is doing. I expect his grandfathers and great grandfathers, who were likely fighting for their country at that age, are spinning in their graves.

HDAV Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 20k a year? I thought the figure was more like 50k a year. I couldnt find exact home office figures so errerd on the side of caution http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKL2021229120070521 The estimated annual cost of imprisonment rises from 37,500 pounds to 49,200 pounds per prisoner when the costs to inmates' families and wider society are taken into account, according to researchers at King's College, London. Seems £37.5k is closer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duncan Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Veering slightly off track, I think jail time should be out-sourced in a similar manner to call centres. I reckon it'd well cheap in any third world country, 100% more effective and a true deterrant. Now that is a corker of an idea - I hear Poland is quite empty now... and flip cold too. Don't send em to a resort! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to a police station here and that was bad enough. Wouldn't like to think what the prisons are like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet1747 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I for one am glad the student fella has been locked up - lobbing it off the roof was at best a completely moronic attempt to injure and he is lucky no one was killed. I see the bleeding heart liberals are out commenting in the Times about how he should be given a community service order as it was a 'rush of blood to the head'. That is exactly what the poor unfortunate would have got if the extinguisher had landed on them - I'm all for protest when someone believes a wrong has been done but I'm glad, for once, that a reasonable sentence has been given, even if he will only serve half of it. wrong decision should have shot him or hang him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsm1968 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Excellent idea inthedark I'm thinking Turkey! P. Exellent idea but, I'm in favour of African prisons. In Bob Mugabe's prisons you'll be luck to survive 2 years :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
