Come on stoke on trent do something!!!

[puddicat]

So sad that a man kills 2 children and maims there Father, and gets 7years and after parole might only do 3 years!!!

[Prudentia]

the words ass and law spring to mind

[sandbach99]

What do you want Stoke to do exactly?

[jonnythebosh]

Er yeah, what's Stoke got to do with this?

[Ethel]

Are you referring to this?

Stoke on Trent can't do anything about it - it's the judiciary and government you should be appealing to

[sandbach99]

Doesn' t the law state if you plead guilty your sentence is halved?, if this is right he has received the maximum less the standard reduction for pleading guilty at the first opportunity

[Supernick]

I rather like the idea of appealing to a city to do something, rather like bowing down in front of a statue and praying for it to bring the rainy season. COME ON STOKE, DON'T YOU KNOW THERE'S A CRECIT CRUNCH ON. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT!
Keep beating the pavement with your fists and let me know how it goes.

[Supernick]

CRECIT? What the hell am I talking about? COME ON Barnsley, when are you going to sort out national spelling standards???!?!!!

[jno]

I'm sort of hoping puddicat isn't appealing to the people of Stoke to take extra-legal action.

[Ethel]

It used to a reduction of one third for a guilty plea but now such a reduction is discretionary

[Lucy-Thomas]

Firstly.

...and maims their father...

Secondly.

You obviously know very little about this case or you would have realised that the footballer lived in Plymouth and the boys' family lived in Manchester. So what has that got to do with the people of Stoke on Trent?

I suggest you get your facts correct before you post in future.

[jno]

'first' and second' will do nicely, no need to say 'firstly' and 'secondly'

[abyss43]

The person(s) spreading the rumours about Lukes fiancee and trying to generaly make his life a misery abviously sucseeded

[China Doll]

I fail to see what Stoke can do about it and suggest your direct your efforts to lobbying your MP. Your post worrying reads like a bit of an incite to violence.
