Oh, I know. I know of numerous serial crims who literally have convictions longer than your arms who have so far not seen the inside of a prison.

I can believe it mate.

Sometimes i think it's like they just are not trying to even uphold a semblance of law and order anymore.

Larry Niven, author of the Ringworld sci Fi books ( highly recommended) had an acronym for this- TANJ.

"There Ain't No Justice"

True .

They'll probably just release him so he can do it a few more times

He's not on the likes of remand through.

He's been sentenced to six and a half years at Hendon Magistrates' Court.

So he will do at least half that period in jail.

Here in the UK now offenders always complete their full sentence.

But usually half the time is spent in prison and the rest is spent out on licence.

Not something i agree with where the likes of violent crimes are concerned.

A reasonably good mate recently got 30 years shoved up his arse for a crime that didn't hurt anyone.
He has to do 20 years before he'll be eligible for parole.

Yet violent criminals, sex cases and nonces get far, far less.

Our judicial system is seriously #ed up.

30-year stretch and has to serve 20!

Sounds rather harsh in the extreme.

What was the crime mate?

As to the judicial system being seriously screwed, completely agree, see my tale about the halfwit with a machete and gas gun.

Its ridiculous what they are willing to let some people get away with.

Conspiracy to supply and cryptocurrency related crimes - don't fully understand the crypto crimes.

Another lad I know was charged with the same but also conspiracy to supply armed weapons.
He only got an extra two years on top.

I won't even attempt to defend the conspiracy to supply armed weapons, automatic weapons at that.
But he only got an extra two years.

a reply to: Freeborn

Sounds rather harsh unless it was related to the likes of organised crime.........and even then.

Were they purchasing the automatic weapons with the cryptocurrency maybe?

As to the extra 2 years, yeah that seems rather a paltry amount of extra time for the likes of an automatic weapons charge.

I would have though that would be about an extra 5 stretch.

They got involved with some seriously naughty people from Eastern Europe, right near the very top of the food chain.
One of them got involved with a girl whilst in Thailand, her brothers more or less ran a major outfit involved in some seriously heavy stuff.
He got drawn in and the rest as they say is history.

I sort of have little sympathy, they knew what they were getting involved in.

I know one of them wanted to get out of it but the options available to him if he did were made perfectly clear to him, or so I was told.

Thing is, nonce some poor little kids and you don't get a tenth of what these two are doing.
Stab someone, rape someone maybe get 5 years or so.

Its not really the length of time these two are doing that pisses me off but rather the short sentences other criminals get.

a reply to: Freeborn

Good luck to them.

Sounds like they have indeed gotten in over their heads.

And the fact is you canny just call games a bogey with those sorts of people and take your ball and go up the road.

As to the length of pedo sentences, shocking really, they should be warehoused for life at the very least.
