Andrew Lee Chapman caught twice with a weapon but everyone dont panic he has been given a suspended sentence and fine! Totalj oke……….
people like him should have the following sentence applied
locked up for a period of one week, with no visits, no x box, no privileges, meals pushed through the door and no human contact.
At the end of that week, someone should look through the spyhole and if he is still alive and doesn’t appear bothered, leave him for another week and repeat the process. Once it is sure that he is mentally suffering badly, then provide him with a conversation through the spyhole only. If he is at breaking point, then let him out into a cell that offers books to read and daily human contact with an officer.
if he behaves himself he can be out in three months, if not then back to the first cell for at least three months until he learns – damned well behave yourself or you will eventually spend the remainder of your miserable life in complete isolation, with the only way out being death, by your hand or that of nature.
Wow.
Are you actually suggesting isolation and mental torture for possession of a stanley knife?
The line where you say “Once it is sure that he is mentally suffering badly” is utterly disgusting. Saying that the only way out should be death is even worse.
Lets be clear here, he had a knife he shouldnt have had. Its not the first time. He has not used these weapons, he is just in possession of them. He hasnt murdered anyone, he hasnt raped anyone.
He has recieved an appropriate sentence, and your comment is utterly disgusting.
yes, the arrogant little cnut will carry on doing what he wants, especially when he knows there are gullible fools like you around who are more worried about how he is treated than the rights of those who are going about their lawful business. He is carrying these weapons and is working his way up to using them.
how would you feel if it is you that he uses it on?
he needs to suffer, that is what prison is for, deprivation of freedoms and a place for people to be punished, not molly coddled and chatted to
lock the p rick up and leave him to rot.
Deprivation of freedom absolutely.
Torture, absolutely not.
I wonder if you would be so mouthy in person. Somehow I doubt it.
Meanwhile, you can’t sentence someone for what they might do in the future, only what they have already done. Like it or not, that’s the law.
oh believe me, I am far more “mouthy” in person – this site won’t let me be myself on here.
Before you ask, I have spent time in cells and been to court – made no difference whatsoever, the justice system is weak in this country. I have first hand knowledge of why people should be doing the sort of sentences i outlined, rather than your pathetically weak version of justice, which has so far, enabled me to avoid any real punishment for anything, ever.
you get my point now – I should hope so, as there are plenty like me and some are far worse, where jail is just seen as a break from the job of being a criminal.
well said islander
I was in a cell with someone who just laughed and said jail is an occupational hazard and a couple of months bird was worth it.
these handwringers are a godsend to many in the criminal life. so up themselves and so many take advantage…one day society will wake up and throw these do holders out
well said
Carrying a standl
Carrying any knife should be a prison sentence , been caught twice and it’s clearly not as hes a carpet fitter
Doesn’t matter what you think it should be. It matters what the law is. If you want to change that, run for parliament.
You wouldn’t be saying anything if you lost a family member like we did to knife crime, reply and you can have my address and you can tell me in person that carrying a blade or knife is fine unless you use it ?
well said timmy – the poster that uses the name ?? is clearly a wet blanket, socialist hand wringing do gooder, that is more worried about the rights of some loser, rather than the rights of innocent, hard working people.
i do hope that this pathetic apologist contacts you and is shown what happens when a society doesn’t ruthlessly punish people like that.
I’m not having some keyboard warrior tell me just because he hasn’t committed a serious offence he cant be punished more……hes carried a weapon and been caught twice hes not a carpenter or a tax paying worker otherwise he wouldn’t of been to court, like I said anyone thinking on here its acceptable to carry weapons even if they haven’t yet committed a crime come see me for a chat…
definitely timmy – he should be suffering in a cell somewhere. The weapon on its own is not dangerous, it is the weapon holder that makes it dangerous and as such anyone carrying a knife is not doing it to cut sandwiches.
hope the keyboard warrior has the guts to come and see you.
unless the law is applied in the way society wants it, then society will take the law into its own hands
remember – it is policing by consent. The politicians and law makers are only where they are because society permits it. There are far more members of the public than there are lawyers and MP’s – if we want you out, you will be out, whether you like it or not, one way or another.
