Have you actually seen the footage? The kid dropped a large, metal cylinder from a tall building on to a crowd of people below. He missed a persons head by inches. It's indefensible. The judge should've given him another two years for his haircut.

Lee247

:shock: He had the very same haircut as the picture you posted in muppets, when you were younger. Oh except he was blonde

JTaylor

Not so. Mine was cool, and besides, I was in a band at the time.

Lee247

You were a darker version and I bet you would have been just as indignant in YOUR youth.

JTaylor

Maybe, but I wouldn't have risked someone's life.

It's all very well to say the punishment is disproportionate because its the common man against some sort of supposed liberal elite. You would be singing a different tune if your husband/wife was rendered a brain damaged vegetable pissing through a tube by his actions.

Trashing the tory hq may also seem like a good laugh but somebody owns that building, perhaps even your pension provider. And what if your wife was stuck in that building at the time? Perhaps there innocently delivering something and e nds up surrounded my masked men burning the place down.

It is not acceptable to behave like this in a civilised society and unless an example is made now even otherwise well behaved youngsters will be encouraged to do wrong.

Gandhi managed peaceful civil disobedience in the face of an occupying colonial army, these kids should try reading a history book

He is 18 years old. Well old enough to realise the incredibly dangerous consequences of his action. It was only pure luck that no one was hit by that extinguisher, and if someone had been if they were lucky enough not to be killed then thay would have been very seriously injured, probably for life!

How can any reasonable person throw such a missile off the top of a building into a crowd and say that he did not realise the risk involved, or that he did not really mean to hurt anyone?

I think he deserved every bit of the sentence he was given and I dont think he should get time off the sentence either.

Leslie

That is a very long way from the real point! It is only a lucky accident that no one was killed.

Clearly this sentence is designed to deter other protesters

Jaybird-UK

The sentence was spot on, the offender was extremely lucky he did not kill any one.

He can think how lucky he is not having to pay Uni fees when begins his career in mcDonalds cooking burgers upon release.

Just need a few more identified

Dingdongler

And he needs a fricking haircut, bloody girly boy!
