He’s Not The Only One Who Doesn’t Seem To Care, Is He?

Notorious troublemaker Lewis Felton grabbed a nursery assistant by her hair, knocked her to the ground, repeatedly stamped on her face and smashed her head against a barrier as she walked to work through Spindleberry Park, on the edge of Blackbird Leys.
And for that, he got 40 months…
Felton had been drinking heavily and had taken cocaine the night before.
No doubt that’s a mitigation.

But we shouldn’t judge, right? It’s probably society’s fault. Or something…
The 21-year-old already has 25 convictions for 58 offences on a criminal record that stretches back to when he was a 12-year-old schoolboy. Felton was also given a two-year Antisocial Behaviour Order (Asbo) in January 2007.
That worked, then!
Benjamin Narain, defending, said Felton had been “heavily under the influence of alcohol” and had been using cocaine, but said he showed “a real understanding and empathy for what he’s done and the impact it would have had on the victim”.
Well, I have to say, he’s had plenty of practice
Mr Narain added: “(Felton) has a problem with drink which seems to derive from boredom and not being in employment.”
Of course. It couldn’t possibly derive from being a nasty waste of oxygen, could it?
Judge Patrick Eccles said…“You have a long history of persistent antisocial behaviour... (you are) somebody who has disobeyed the law without caring for a number of years.”
Hey, judge, it seems the law isn’t too concerned either?

Look at all the ‘second chances’ he received…

You've got to wonder at the mentality of the people who repeatedly hand down these pathetic sentences.

In their spare time do they sit at home sticking their fingers into a fire repeatedly to see if it will hurt every time ?

They have the same pathological disregard for action and consequences as the criminals before them.

"25 convictions for 58 offences"

One of the many small sods of grass which feed the cash cow businesses of criminal lawyers.

Sooo bored said...

"which seems to derive from boredom"

I would think that just about sums up around 80 per cent of the world's worries, trouble and bad behaviour over the past 10,000 years.

And who pays for his "drink problem" seeing as how he's unemployed?

Whatever the Judiciary/Courts have been doing for the last 10 years in this and many other cases has not been working.
We need to build more prisons and dish out some serious jail time.

"has a problem with drink which seems to derive from boredom and not being in employment" Putting the cart before the horse?

"25 convictions for 58 offences" And the hundreds of others that he didn't get caught for.

Have no mercy on this scumbag, send him on a Victim Empathy & Anger Management Course without appeal

"They have the same pathological disregard for action and consequences as the criminals before them."

That's because it rarely touches them. For them, there are no consequences.

"And who pays for his "drink problem" seeing as how he's unemployed?"

I'll give you three guesses. I suspect you'll only need one.

"And the hundreds of others that he didn't get caught for."

Quite!
