    “I really do despair for this country no respect, youngsters allowed to do what they want,if you challenge them you end up in trouble, even your own kids, all these do gooders want to spend some time in the real world live in the same street or even the same 10 mile radius see how much they want to help the idiots then(couldn't think of a more appropriate word) this excuse for a human will no doubt be at home thinking he's a big tough guy obviously has no remorse otherwise he would have handed his self in no doubt he'll get a bit of community service who'd of thought having to work would be punishment, I must have been a real bad boy.England biggest joke on the plannet.”

    “Ah yes, but when he is caught he'll already be known to the police and his barrister will claim that he is "extremely remorseful" and so be let off with a suspended sentence, such is our judicial system!”

    “I hope this victims family come across this piece of filth before the police do, then at least some proper justice might be metered out, instead of the slapped wrist so beloved of our weak criminal justice system.
    Hope all the victims recover promptly.”
