An 18-year-old youth kicked out in anger, smashing a door off its hinges, after being told to leave the probation offices in Blackburn because of his behaviour.Makes you wonder why he's on probation, doesn't it?
But Blackburn magistrates said that, despite his tantrum, the probation service was willing to allow him to continue on his order and did not think an anger management course was necessary.I can't imagine why...

I can.
1. The Probation officers won't have to pay for the damage - we will with our taxes so they won't suffer in any way.
2. The Left Wing politically motivated social experiments dictate that the offender is also a victim and his behaviour is not because he's an obnoxious little shit who deserves to be horsewhipped, but because of society's failure to nurture him.
3. Any probation officer who does wish to make an allegation of criminal damage will find themselves sent to the 'in-house' Probation office in the most monstrous sink council estate the superiors can find in the other side of the UK (probably with a loss of seniority and a cat's chance in hell of promotion) - not that that indicates any animosity to, or political disappointment in, the person concerned, as the Probation Service is known throughout the country for it's impartial and fair behaviour to all and sundry.

There is no such thing as an 18 year old "youth" - there are plenty of 18 year old men with immature attitudes that need addressing, but they are not youths.

ReplyDeleteMr Tomrat men can be classified as youths to 30 now, utterly ridiculous.
There appears to be a growing case for the rebuilding of the stocks in town centres for cases such as these.
ReplyDeleteA few days in the stocks in place of community orders would, I think, improve certain sections of the population - it would also allow the supermarkets, and local traders, to make some money on rotten vegetables and also provide employment for someone to clean up after.

ReplyDeleteSNORK!

Oh, but as Bunny points out, the concept is rather more flexible than you'd think.
"There appears to be a growing case for the rebuilding of the stocks in town centres for cases such as these."
Or gallows.
