Just read that article CB... that little tosser looks like a model citizen doesn't he?
mitigating circumstances asside (ie. he was with family on holiday so he
probably wouldn't have done a runner) there's no way he should have been allowed to leave the country when bailed pending further action over a murder/homicide charge.
And yet if it had been you or I there'd be a lengthy remand period spent in the slammer.
Forget young offenders institutes, what that little git needs is a public flogging in the stocks at his home town where everyone can villify him for what he's done and give him a few slaps, then pack him off to military borstel where some propper squaddy hardnuts can work him over and teach him some manners and respect, then maybe if he's lucky he can return having earned the privilage to live amongst the rest of civilised society. And if that doesn't work, send him to Afganistan or some other sweatty hairy armpit of the world- you wanna fight and kill? How do you fancy your chances against fanatics who will figh back, Craig?
And if he should happen top get toasted by an IED... well, I'm sure only his family will miss him - kind of like the relatives of the guy he and his mates kicked to death.
