Rioting and looting are significant public order and endangerment issues for ordinary people. How long before the same scrotes if decide that Joe down the road who bought his own house/ has a job is a valid target cos he might have some money at etc It's not just robbing- it's not just a simple crime - it's organised criminality against ordinery people - law and order and society as a whole.

If capitalism was a fair system, we wouldn't have looting. It's not, so some members of the poor are going to take these opportunities when they come along. I wouldn't like to see it happen to a small business, but big greedy German companies that treat their employees like non-humans, timing their every move, spying on them (google it), fine by me. What I'd really love to see is some looting and destruction of an Apple building. They owe billions and we can't even give sick or injured OAPs a bed in hospital when they need one.

I work in the legal system and the lack of consistency in sentencing sickens me, particularly in the District Court (although, admittedly, the perpetrator's of last night's events will be put forward for trial at Circuit where they'll get more of what they deserve). I want to see people get stiffer penalties where appropriate. But 'appropriate' is the key word. Should last night's events lead to mandatory life sentences? Should the punishment for the destruction of private property be the same as that for murder? I think that's an utterly ridiculous suggestion. Worse, even. It's dangerous. Anyway, I came across this thread earlier this morning but it's only in the last few minutes I've realised the tenor of the arguments being put forward. People are just venting, and that's fine. But I'm not wasting my morning discussing penology with people that are suggesting slitting throats as an appropriate penalty. Good luck.

I said that a mandatory life sentence, which would be 25-30 years, for last night's events was a ridiculous suggestion. By all means disagree with me but don't put words in my mouth.

gozunda wrote: » Is that you John? Ridiculous? "Locking up those lads for what they done last night" Yeah that's ridiculous yeah right! No they were not just 'looting a supermarket" : :rolleyes: They tore the fracking place down with a digger - after breaking into it - after robbing it - and stealing the safe and contents!! Oh and going up to 30 people out of a job and then attack a Centre supermarket as well! In the UK the average length of sentence was almost four times as long as thay given for similar offences. That trend has continued and imo should be implemented here for scrotes that get involved in serious law and disorder incidents like that to send out a message for others and to stop those who choose to get involved ever reoffending again.

They are nothing but a drain on society, leeching off the rest of us and get handed everything for nothing and this is how they behave. They would be the very scumbags who go around robbing houses etc. The only thing they have to offer society is multiple offspring who will turn out exactly the same. If they were locked up the only people who would miss them would be the person in the post office giving the scum their handouts. Time for zero tolerance against the likes of them.
