Wonder what the sentence will be, assuming she is found guilty? Should it be more or less severe that the less advantaged looters?

Not sure what the sentance should be compared to others, but it warmed my wee last night to hear some berk on the news saying that there were two types of rioters, the criminals and the opportunistic ones.
That's like saying there are two types of rapist, the hard core, and those that just saw someone bending over and decided to have a pop!

It should be the same, the law should take no notice of her background. However IMHO the Uni should show some backbone and immediately kick her out. Any Liberal types about to tell me that she only made a mistake, deserves a second chance etc can f
k right off. She was in a car full of stolen goods, she's too intelligent to calim she didn't know what she was involved in, and she stood to profit, fk her luck.Fer said:

There are people breaking down and weeping in court at their convictions. They had jobs, which they will be losing. Are you telling me these people are the feral scum that we know inhabits our streets?That's like saying there are two types of rapist, the hard core, and those that just saw someone bending over and decided to have a pop!

No, but they're still scum all the same, committing the same crimes for the same reasons.Puggit said:

Ah, diddums. They're weeping because they got caught. fk them.Puggit said:

So? I have a job, I could do with some new trainers and a blu-ray player. I live close enough to Charlton to have robbed the same stores the grammar school kid did. I managed not to get carried away, so should they. Silly themPuggit said:

No, but they have shown themselves to be no better than the feral scum that inhabits our streets.They revolt me.
Sigh, some spoilt little bint thought she'd be "hardcore" and "down with the community" and had a JOLLY SPIFFING time doing a bit of looting.
Probably spotted on some backwater news network saying how she can really relate to the poor and needy, then having to dash as Tarquin and Felicity have just BBM'd her for a Starbucks and a spot of rowing. Tally ho!.
Fine the bks off her, nothing to be gained from sending her to prison, but reliving daddy of some of his riches might make him keep his kids in line.

Let me just clarify, I'm 100% in favour on coming down hard on the looters. I'm just trying to point out that the worst people involved in this, will by and large escape.
Anyone who involved themselves in this is "the worst people". They've commited the same crime. If you want to come down hard on the looters you want to come down hard on all of them, not let the PLU off because they're alright really.

This seems to be another symptom of the problems in society. The people involved in the rioting don't seem to have worked out that actions have consequences.
Bing! We have a winner! The untermensch have been busy doing what they like for years and only receiving slaps on the wrist from the magistrates. This unrest is just an extreme example of that disconnect.I think the worst people in this are the ones who committed crimes thinking they could get away with it and not face justice. They are the ones who went on an ego fuelled rampage and scared the hell out of local residents who saw flames from nearby buildings.
She should and will, I suspect, face the full force of the law. Stuff her.

Article said:
The goods were allegedly found in a car being driven by Miss Johnson.
It was claimed that they were stolen from a Comet store. Miss Johnson appeared before Bexleyheath magistrates' court where she indicated a plea of not guilty to five counts of burglary.
...
The allegations
So, firstly we have allegations not a conviction and secondly there is, as far as the article reads, no indication that she was involved in the thefts herself...It was claimed that they were stolen from a Comet store. Miss Johnson appeared before Bexleyheath magistrates' court where she indicated a plea of not guilty to five counts of burglary.
...
The allegations
Not saying she's innocent but PH is usually a place where the rule of law is lauded as being right.
Seem to be a lot of posters assuming her guilt.

But the secondary looters (the ones likely to get caught) would never start these riots, and never prize open the shutters on Currys - they were there watching, and taking advantage. It's great to punish them, but it's not going to stop this happening again.
They took part. They got caught. They get punished. Whether they started it or not is immaterial. f
k their luck.IainT said:

Just lock her away, at the very least for handling stolen goods.
