Well, That Was Hardly A Surprise…

A shop owner feels “completely let down” after the yobs who threatened to kill his family had their prison sentences overturned.
Yup, these charmers.
… on Friday, a judge at Basildon Crown Court overturned the sentences, on the grounds they were “excessive” , instead handing them community orders with unpaid work.
*sighs*
However, Speaking after the hearing, Mr Reno, said: “I feel completely let down by the courts.
“I’ve not had justice and I don’t feel the judge has realised the impact this has had on me and my family.
“The courts should be set up to punish people when they commit crime to stop them doing it again.
“A community order is not a deterrent.
“Now I believe it’s just a matter of time until they do this again.
“The courts just seem to be there to protect criminals instead of victims.”
Yes. They do, don't they?

    Why do these magisrates and judges get paid? It's not as if they do anything for those who pay their salaries and pensions.

    We could all do with importing a few Chinese judges. After all, we ARE short of skilled workers.... right?

    I wondered why such serious offences were tried in the magistrates court rather than the Crown Court. A quick look at earlier press reports revealed that this case was dealt with by uniform plod not detectives. Furthermore, instead of threats to kill, blackmail and threats to damage property these three yobs were charged with racially aggravated harrassment. A quick guilty plea at the magistrates court and plod breathes a sigh of relief and the CPS count it as a win.

    No justice for anyone as the subsequent appeal against sentence confirms.

    So what?

    Are you one of these scumbags that thinks "detective" is some sort of promotion?

    Let me tell YOU laddie, detectives, whatever rank, are EXACTLY the equivalent of the corresponding uniform rank.

    Except detectives are arseholes.

    I congratulate you on your spelling. As someone for whom English is not their first language, your poor understanding of the idiom and culture can be forgiven.

    "A quick look at earlier press reports revealed that this case was dealt with by uniform plod not detectives."

    And no doubt soon to be devolved further to PCSOs..
