WTF? They should have been given the maximum custodial sentence.
I might be in the minority on this but do get how they can't prove it was the ultimate cause of death. However for an attack like that, the sentences are shocking. Even the length of suspended sentences are woefully short.
Seeing that all involved were homeless though brings home how desperate life is on the streets.
That judge was called DJ Hale
May as well be a fecking DJ if thats the sort of sentence he hands out
Its clear those guys couldn't be prosecuted for his death but if someone goes out to a bloke sitting on the floor in the street and kicks them in the head several times then what the feck have you got to do to serve some time behind bars , if that isn't enough ?
Its no good criticising the police , they caught these tossers and put them before the court
And the judge let's them walk ?
Just shows how much can get away with. I find it crazy to think how much a sentence can change based on the outcome of a situation, could have easily killed the man.
Kicking someone in the head you are a danger to society and should not be able to mix until suitably punished.
Problem is it costs a lot to keep people locked up.
Sickening. They should have been locked away for years. Cowards and scum for what they did.
Aw bless, he had a problem with taking drugs.
Suspended sentences FFS.
Real deterrent to others that.
The law is just as disgusting as these fu*king scumbags!
Does anyone think that the sentences handed down would've been a bit stiffer if the victim hadn't been homeless and an alcoholic?
Perhaps but it shouldn't matter.
Even if the victim was defending himself before being knocked to the ground, the punishment may, only may, be justified... but he was far from that.
Of course there is no doubt that if it was a police officer, as has been suggested, they would probably have thrown the book at them.
Then again, the prosecution might have been a tad better.
My remark may have sounded flippant, I didnt mean it to come across like that as I know there are many people with mental problems on medication.
These scummers were doing it just for shits and giggles and the punishment should have been reflected in a harsher sentence as the victim was a human being ffs.
Christ they'd have got more if it was an animal, those animal rights geezers would see to that alright.
Scum is not enough to call them,that poor man what a way to die.
But you just can't blame the assailants without knowing their circumstances. One of the guys told the court how had had been having drug related violence problems and was getting help to deal with it. So you can't really blame him can you? He needs help not custody, poor chap.
