Just because he is young doesn't mean he shouldn't be punished harshly. I wonder if his parents know what he has done.
A split second moment, come off it. I have had many a drunken night and wanted a piddle urgently and I never dreamt of showing disrespect to the dead by urinating on a war memorial.
I also hope the uni he attends either makes him apologise to the city he is a guest at or the uni apoligises for him.
