"I Think You've Had Enough, Sir..."

A man from south London who was being sentenced for possessing 192 grams of cannabis asked the judge if he can have it back.

/facepalm 

Jacob Thompson, who was jailed for three months, said he wants it returned because “weed is expensive”. As well as possession of cannabis, 55-year-old Thompson was also being sentenced for smashing up a job centre with a hammer and throwing milk on the floor.

Probably not his first time in a Job Centre, and probably not his last... 

After consultation with his barrister Thompson was persuaded to drop the question. Thompson also pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage by urinating on the floor of a police cell.

That's the sort of thing an animal does. 

At the sentencing hearing Judge David Spens KC questioned why urination is classified as criminal damage. Mr Wing said: “The offence of criminal damage can be caused by spitting or urinated on any surface.” Judge Spens said: “Not that it matters, but that seems completely barking to me”.

Really? You know what seems 'barking' to me, Judge? That someone can rack up this sort of record, and the judge sneers at the disruption and disgusting behaviour he causes for this that have to deal with him: 

The court was told the Thompson has 46 convictions for 93 offences, almost all of them for criminal damage and possession of drugs.

That's 'barking'. Still, at least he served some jail time this time, right? 

Judge Spens sentenced Thompson to three months in prison. Thompson, of Eastlake Road in Brixton, has been in custody since May 4, so the sentence was deemed to have been already served and he was released.

*sighs*

"the court was told that Thompson has a history of mental health issues"

Smokes weed? Quelle surprise.

Why can't we put him on a dinghy and tow him into French waters?

It doesn't say....which these days, often says it all, doesn't it?
