Soft-Appendaged Courts a Disgrace!

A recent court decision - where two teenagers were given minimum four year terms in custody for bashing and choking to death a 73-year-old grandmother - absolutely sucks.

What sucks even more, is the little shits - 16 and 17 - may get to serve some of the time in youth custody rather than in the Big Bad House with all the chaps who like young lads.

These convicted killers pleaded guilty to manslaughter of the woman but said they were addicted to chroming - sniffing paint to get high - clearly looking for a bit of mercy.

Well, what mercy did they show this poor woman - an invalid pensioner who was looking after her disabled son - and why should they get any?

Being high, or drunk, or stoned is no excuse and anyone coming up with such a crap reason for an atrocity - and the facts of the case show it was - should get their sentences doubled for allowing themselves to get in that condition in the first place. Then it should be doubled again because to claim such bull**** just insults most peoples' - clearly other than judges - intelligence.

One of the reasons given for the appalling leniency given to these killers is the fact they are young enough to be rehabilitated. Well how about a statement from the family that they got an offensive phone call from the horrendous pukes while the little buggers were in juvenile detention!

Where the hell are we going? What sort of soft-appendaged country have we become where scum can break into peoples' houses, assault and kill them and then get a slap on the wrist.

Well, you little dirtbags, here's a message from me. After you've done your time - and you'd better take in a couple of gallons of lubricant because you'll need it - come and break into my house.

You'll discover that not everyone is a softdick and if you just so happen to survive the encounter - you'll need to start learning to walk again.
