tinfoilhat   11 #13 Posted May 19, 2019 Speaking of punishment.......  Vandals trash Stamford model railway exhibition https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-48326572  i cannot for the life of me fathom what was going through these halfwits minds. Doubt they’ll see any jail if and when convicted. There’s no huge monetary value involved really, nobody was hurt. But the emotional damage, I hope, needs to taken into consideration.

Yes. simple as that .  Behave and you will be released after you have served your full sentence .

BigAl1   142 #18 Posted May 20, 2019 The stupidity is that it is virtually guaranteed the people who suffer often are those who are innocent and therefore unwilling to say they were guilty and how sorry they are and that they will never do anything bad again  The press could do better in reporting sentences don't you just love the headlines like "gang sentenced to 80 years" when in fact members may only have got 3 or 4 years which of course is only half that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
