FFS! "Historically-illiterate judgement".

Now can we move on, there is no basis on which to claim these problems are owed to a decay in modern society (parenting, law, education or other).

Re: Riots.
 

Did you see a couple of tossers who incited people to meet and riot on Facebook got 4 years, even I thought that was a result. What a great message it has sent out, can't believe some are saying some of the sentences are too harsh!!! These scum need to learn a big and nasty lesson..one other idiot got 18 months for having a looted TV in the back of his motor..go you judges!!!!! Bloody marvelous. For one justice appears to have sharp and nasty pointy things.

Not really when you consider the consequences of their actions. Its like shouting fire in a crowded theater.

Re: Riots.
 

I am all for draconian punishment. I believe in a caring society yet one with very stiff penalties. Neither of these incited riots got off the ground. I think the only ones who turned up were the ones who set up the Facebook pages. I think it is a good result and one that sends out a strong message.

Do want to follow the penalty for this crime?

KEARNS — A man was charged Wednesday with burglary after allegedly entering a neighbor's home and eating $100 worth of food.

The Kearns man, 36, was charged in 3rd District Court with burglary, a second-degree felony, and theft, a class B misdemeanor.

According to the charges, the man was identified after he left behind a black duffel bag with a similar name on the tag and two piles of clothing that the homeowner recognized as belonging to a man that lives nearby.

The homeowner's neighbors told police they saw a man enter the home and confirmed the man's identity after being shown a booking photo by police officers, the charges state.
