Human Rights groups say the sentences are too tough on the looters?
I suppose when you see the two lads getting 4 yrs for inciting a riot on FB which didn't happen anyway and someone who was actually in the thick of things getting 6 months?
Do you think the HR Laws will ever be overhauled as promised, or are we being told this for appeasement ?

The point is that sentences should be proportionate with other crimes and offences that have happened before.
Someone shouldn't get a stiffer sentence just because a lot of people saw something on the TV and got cross about it.
For example the group of violent football thugs who organised a string of football riots one of which got someone killed got 4-5 years
So to give two people who tried to start a riot to which nobody turned up is clearly disproportionate.
IMHO a prison sentence is warrented - probably 2 years would be nearer the mark.
I suspect the human rights element has been tagged on by journalists trying to get people worked up and delfect attention from their own misdeeds currently coming out into the open

i assume such judgements are made on the basis of their previous history as well. yes it appears unfair, but without knowing such details how can we know whether it is right or not. maybe the 6 monthers have not encountered the police before.

To me this is part of the entire problem. Why debate the sentence, they deserve to go to prison.
As far as the conspiritors are concerned, if they were planning a kidnap but didn't do it should they get probation?
This is a clear deterrent to the scum that occupy our country and I hope it give many pause for thought.
Although its been said many times, about many situations, what about the HR of those who have lost thier lives, homes, businesses and jobs.
