And what of the release on bail of the murderer? This was the third time he'd been released on bail after violent crimes. Is our judicial system so inept that it can't keep those behind bars who would shatter our civility?
Where were the police when these youths were vandalising the cars? What measures need to be put in place to protect honest, law abiding citizens from these Barbarians?
Let's build as many new prisons as it takes. Let's fill them with these morons and make our streets safe again. Is it too much to ask to go out at night and not worry about being accosted, called names or spat at?
The people who build bus shelters near me have given up replacing the lovely glass ones that are smashed night after night, so they have been replaced by ugly green, corrugated iron ones. It's a depressing state of affairs.
Give these louts 20 lashes of the cat-o-nine tails and let their friends watch. When the skin is hanging off in ribbons and they are pissing themselves with the pain, they will think twice about reoffending.
But no, the judicial system will shuffle on with it's good intentions and more innocent people will die.
