ive read this story on 3 sites, all seem to report the same to me, i guess im just taken in by it all then and
a complete idiot. the criminal justice system is not a complete an utter failure to society. a sentance should be as is given.
life should mean life and so should 12 months be 12 months

You are not an idiot at all, Richie, nor are you gullible. Gullibility lies with those who unfailingly decry the Daily Mail, and other centre-Right papers, without providing a shred of evidence whatsoever that what is printed is not correct. The legal system in this country is the responsibility of the Government. If it fails, then the Government must take responsibility. Thus, this story has everything to do with politics.

More lamposts & rope required :-?

With Nickbat, those lamposts better have energy saving light bulbs in them, and made from eco friendly rope

Well couldn't believe my eyes when I read the article.
And I thought courts in my country are ridiculous.
Guess UK's are just as bad.

Sounds stupidly obvious but it still has to be said.

Part of the deceit of our modern society I'm afraid.

Couldn't agree more.

As a PS.  I have a couple of friends/acquaintances who have been banged up for things they deny doing.  Seems they could reduce their time inside by lying and saying they did do it.  Help!

This highlights a number of questions, specific and general.
Where do you draw the line on reasonable self defence.They technically were not in danger anymore but yet I understand their actions.

The guy is obviously a career criminal so should we start employing a system whereby if you re-offend then you are taken out of society with a life term, irrespective of what crime you reoffended on.

The reoffending rates are above 60% so we end up with an enormous prison population that needs to be paid for.

There are more people locked up now than 20 years ago so that either suggests that prison is not working, going to prison prevents re-admission to regular society so further creating a criminal underclass, or society is falling in general.Or a mixture of all 3.

Wish I had some answers :-?

aaah where would the Mail be without good honest citizens leaping to their defence, heres the story without gutter press spin (the bare facts are bad enough - the Mail doesn't need to embelish it, so why do it?)

wherever its been reported its been widely condemned as a failure of commonsense, unfortunately for Mr Hussain he used unreasonable force after pursuing the criminal and as I stated back then, a suspended sentence would have been more appropriate but let's not start arming ourselves to the teeth like the yanks waiting for an excuse for retribution (look up "cop pulls gun during snowball fight" on youtube)

It depends if we want to be a civilised society or not.

I got an inkling from the original reports that the injuries done by the victim and his cohorts may well have been inflicted some time after the event when self-restraint should have kicked-in.

If they gave the baddies a good kicking/batting as punishment (rather than in defense) then I can see why the courts would have an issue with it.  That is what they are there for!

On the other hand...  when people see the courts repeatedly fail to do what is considered to be their duty, it is not surprising that the retribution is carried out 'while the offended feel in the mood'!  You only really feel inclined to back down when you have confidence in the proper authorities.

I have some sympathy with Munir.

The Daily Mail does have its' uses........
