That the people that run an online news site are all people that can write a slang-free sentence, y'all?
That's the first thing I noticed.
I noticed that "editors" might be due an apostrophe readit

Well I've just bought the 6-7 day long period pack. Let's see how that goes down. Birthday is 18th of June, so I've got a few weeks to live life to the fullest...

Former drug dealer commits unprovoked assault and doesn't get sentence is the surprise for me.

At least Facebook is a decent tool for weeding out eejits.

Daft maybe, but that's very shady ground. The way social media users are getting criminalised is getting out of hand.

He's clearly a weapon, but that post is hardly worthy of locking someone up.

Well, quite. Many people see Facebook as equivalent to a chat with mates in the pub where you can get away with anything, not a written public record.



Speculation on:

Perhaps he put forward the impression that he was remorseful in court, and the judge took this into consideration when sentencing, but the Facebook post changed their mind.

Speculation off.

If they won't learn lessons the easy way, they get the hard way.

The guy was guilty, pretended to show remorse, and got a lower sentence as a result. Then the mask slipped.

This is no word of a lie, but years ago I was talking to my then neighbour (graduate engineer and studying Law), and I mentioned that I'd served in Northern Ireland.

"What Island?" said he.

"Northern Ireland!" I said.

"Where's that?"

Well many criminals who don't go to prison are clearly informers.

Sadly NI is the unwanted child of the UK. I've met loads of English who never even knew that we are British.

Is that a technical "you aren't"?
As in being British you have to be part of Great Britain rather than the full GB & NI?
Or are you something else as a member of the UK, of which NI is inclusively a part?
