1. This is why we all need to support the Tories to Start the Flights to Stop the Boats. Mass migration has lead to this type of disgusting scum perpetrating these horrible acts; and do not mention the religion (Christianity).

   Only under 14 years of Tory rule has mass migration increased so much. And only under another 5 years of Tory rule can we Start the Flights to Stop the Boats.

   Edit; do we really need a sarcasm tag?! Really?! Come on now.

2. I swear if we just locked up anybody seen on those horrid electric scramblers crime would plummet. I don’t think they exist for any reason other than to enable scrote related crime.

3. Hey u/pashbrufta, just wondering if you notice anything about this case?

4. Cunts like this need to be sent down for a minimum of 5 years. No time off, early release, etc. They need to serve every minute of their time.

5. [removed]

6. I’m not excusing his actions, hes clearly a thieving peice of shit. But people really need to stop walking around glued to their phones too, we all use them for multiple things these days, and I get that, but I see so many people with zero awareness, walking head down, eyes on phone screen. They are easy pickings for guys like him, or worse still they’ll get themselves run over one day.

7. These worthless cunts always have 90 different convictions and yet every time get a finger wag and little else. Give him a proper sentence and if he reoffends triple it.

8. Best I can do is 8 hours community service, suspended for 20 years.

9. Why isn’t this sub calling for this criminal to be deported?

   > White guy with white British name

   Oh…

10. Wonder how he affords to live in Islington, no doubt it will be another case of a state subsidised criminal

11. Make them return the phones? Repairs, replacements?

12. I mean he’s obviously a piece of shit, but he’s an efficient piece of shit. 24 phones in a hour is significantly more than I’d have guessed the record to be

13. The police spend most of their time arresting the same 1-5% of the population who commit *all* of the crime.

    There’s a solution in there but we can’t talk about it.

14. Remember, crime isn’t actually a real, difficult problem to address – we just fool ourselves into believing it is.

    We live in fear of crime because of a rounding error of the population. Jailing this ~3% would effectively create a crime free society – and if you don’t believe it really is ~3%, just remember the average person being sent to prison is now more likely to have had 46 fucking convictions, than they are to be a first time offender.

    What’s even worse about this situation is that isn’t not just theory, it’s been proven in practice – Bukele locked up all the criminals, and guess what? Crime plummeted astronomically.

    In b4 someone says some bs about how the UK isn’t as bad as El Salvador so it’s irrelevant or that jailing criminals means you obviously will jail tens of thousands of innocents accidentally.
