Wow, that seems a bit steep.

[DrFilth]

i warned people on here the other day you get a stiffer sentence for handling stolen goods than the person who stole them

[marval]

Good, lets have more sentences like that

[funnygirl]

But what is worst??

To me the looter deserves to get more and I really hope they did in this case.

[DrFilth]

marval there are a load in tonights paper

[DrFilth]

funnygirl if nobody would handle the stolen items the thief would not bother to nick them

Bring back the birch!

They are only singling her out because she is white, it would not have been reported if she was black. Apparently.

[DrFilth]

gromit did you do that picture on my other post :)

[Bazile]

Crikey - and she is not black .

Oh , I see - the judge is Asian

[boxtops]

I don't think the colour of the judges in any of these cases is relevant

[Bazile]

This is a strange phenomenon isn't it - aren't rioters supposed to be black - what's hapened here ?

[hc4361]

Bazile, you are blinkered and ridiculous. Or ironic.

You haven't forgotten about Charlie Gilmour's sentence, have you?
Black and working class he ain't.

I wonder if these harsh sentences will have an effect on the casual shop lifter not involved in these riots. Before they got a slap on the wrist and a reprimand and they were even using fixed penalties.
