Thedelldays Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 If that thing he threw had hit someone in the head... It would would have killed them I wonder what the reaction would be by those supporting him if he fired a gun and missed someone.. The end result would have been the same No excuse for this lad.
Smirking_Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I don't support him BTW What he did was idiotic, and so he should get 2 years (little lenient if you ask me) FWIW he seemed to launch the fire extinguisher into a crowded area, if that would have hit someone they would have been killed.

I agree. The only thing that could have been worse is that he killed someone - like Ian Tomlinson for example. Luckily HIS killer also is now also in jail. Right?

Jonnyboy Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 you are right..until this man is in jail...we should free all killers..or wannabe killers.. its the only fair thing to do.. Pretty clear he wasnt trying to be a killer
Thedelldays Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 Pretty clear he wasnt trying to be a killer Who.. The student?? He shouldn't need more than uni education he fights for to know that he very nearly killed someone
Deppo Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 If he wants launch missiles from a great distance to try and kill people he should join the Navy.
SaintSi Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 The c.unt wants his throat slitting, he should be thankful he got away with the time he did.
Deppo Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 They should charge him £9000 a year for his prison term.
SaintSi Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Throat slitting? Interesting response. Maybe i'm just bitter, or whatever catergory people on here want to place me in in, but i had my life ruined for 20x less than this intelligent chap did, therefore in my eyes he got away lightly.
aintforever Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 or whatever catergory people on here want to place me in in psychopathic?

Jonnyboy Posted 16 January, 2011 Posted 16 January, 2011 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8793615.Driver_who_left_athlete_to_die_loses_jail_appeal/ So is this a fair sentence?

trousers Posted 17 January, 2011 Posted 17 January, 2011 Agreed. His crime at least 10x worse. Agreed. Thus he should get 10x greater sentence than the Fire Extinguisher student (rather than the student getting 10x less)

buctootim Posted 17 January, 2011 Posted 17 January, 2011 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8793615.Driver_who_left_athlete_to_die_loses_jail_appeal/ So is this a fair sentence? Agreed. Thus he should get 10x greater sentence than the Fire Extinguisher student (rather than the student getting 10x less) Its impossible to say imo. Almost certainly the driver didnt set out to hit somebody, the student - who knows? On another day the driver would have got home safely and the student would have killed three people. Both crimes were reckless behaviour.

On another day the driver would have got home safely and the student would have killed three people. Both crimes were reckless behaviour. I think the sentence for the student is about right and the driver too lenient as it happens but you are right in that it is always very difficult to compare two crimes and make a judgement of the sentencing. However if one viewed it that the punishment is for a combination of reckless action and the outcome of that recklessness surely the driver will carry a longer sentence because of that. He drove recklessly and killed someone, the student behaved recklessly and by good fortune did not harm anyone - that to me is the difference. Also before anyone else pipes up yes I think the outcome of the Tomlinson case left a very nasty smell.

If only we could combine it with a tube strike...

Big difference apart from not hurting anyone is the student handed himself in and pleaded guilty, whereas the other fled to Poland
