Is this a fitting sentence?

/// He will complete 240 hours of community service over a two-year period, the court ruled. ///

The courts could try and be consistent in their sentencing

he should be made to do community service in a military service mess hall, get a load of squaddies on his case that will sort the little toerag out.

so thats 2.3 hours a week......no doubt so it doesnt interfere with his normal daily routine...laughable

another piece of scum we have to tolerate in this country

I'm actually uncomfortable with idea of sentencing people for 'offensive' remarks. It isn't a question of free speech but unless there is a risk of public disorder I would have thought a more sensible approach would be to have the offending items removed asap. This applies equally in my mind to Twitter garbage, Facebook 'jokes' or deliberately inflammatory religious material.
