1. Get your wrists ready for a firm tickle.

2. That was fast though in fairness

3. I do wonder how much crime could be prevented if proper sentences were handed out at an earlier stage. I’ll eat my hat if this was this lads first offense or in any way out of character. 

   Need more people just taken off the street if they committed to a life of crime and terrorising the community. 

   I know crime isnt as a bad as it was but I wouldn’t be surprised if people were getting away with more now since the prisons are full. You really have to be the worst of the worst to go to prison these days and it’s unlikely you’ll serve anywhere close to your sentence then either. 

4. Where’s that lad that said this didn’t happen?

   This is only the tip of the iceberg.

5. Youth charged, nothing will happen and we won’t know his name until he attacks someone when he is over 18. We will just have to wait with bated breath…

6. Wonder how many previous.
