While physical attacks of any sort should be condemned and punished, did this thug deserve imprisonment?

Interesting to note that it is reported that he was jailed for racially aggravated assault and then later the police vowed to crack down on race hate attacks.

Muslims are not a race.

The question was: 'Does he deserve imprisonment'? The fact is that many crimes would merit imprisonment. However, the prison capacity is bulging. Is this not an example of a case where a short, sharp, shock can be applied without the need to swell the numbers further?

" I suspect that if this case hadn't involve the Muslim element the sentence would have been much less" erm...that would be why the "religiously aggravated" is added.
AOG...it was a hate crime...what else do you need ?

/// You know that shovel I lent you some months back - have you traded it in for a JCB? ///

Can never remember you lending me a shovel Mam, but I do remember once islay offering to lend me her well worn out shovel, but I declined saying that if I needed one (which I don't) I would purchase a new one.

But thanks for the suggestion on a JCB, perhaps one would come in handy, to clear up all the *** I get from some on here.

A bit of advice from me though Mam, stick to your 'Night Night Song From Mamya♥' that is more your level.
The guy and his mate are (insert adjectives) and if 6 months is the maximum, he deserved that and more.
His mate who filmed it should be jailed too.

Wonder tho, why the police felt the need to release the video?
I shall post when and where I wish to and believe it or not - I decide what my level is and not you.
Calm down mamya your halo is slipping xxx
AOG would make a saint's halo slip!
Mamy....it seems that we are getting nowhere on this one, so I, for one, are stepping away.
AOG, that is very rude.

I think you should report yourself and ask for that last paragraph to be removed
mmmm I wonder if we can guess who AOG is going to give best answer to?
Answers on a postcard people!!
Is it really Bernie, where have I been rude?
AOG

//The girl happened to be a white Protestant or Roman Catholic?//

It would still be 'racially or religiously motivated'

It's the 'or' which is key.
Well Islay, I was surprised it took so long - they walk amongst us sadly.
Islay

It will be me.

AOG has scheduled to give me 'best answer', right after he he finishes feeding his unicorns, whilst taking a photograph of a night rainbow.

Huzzah!

justice.' ///

/// A Scotland Yard spokesman added: 'The Met have long since recognised the impact of hate crime on communities and the hidden nature of this crime, which remains largely under-reported. ///

/// 'The MPS stands together with policing partners, colleagues and groups to investigate all hate crime allegations, support victims and their families, and bring perpetrators to justice.' ///

I wonder if that applies to all independent of race, or relegion?

I would if I hadn't receive much worse in my time.

I am not really a rude person, and only reply to persons in such a way, if they are rude to me first.

"When in Rome" they say
Do you think this was a hate crime AOG?

So let's study the scenario then.

A white girl who also happens to be Catholic or Protestant, is slapped in the face by a male thug with a piece of bacon.

The perpetrator is then charged and convicted of a 'racially or religiously motivated' crime and sentenced to six months in prison.

Yeh!!!!!!!!!!
