Glad the homeless shelter is helping criminals stay warm and dry for FREE
Exactly these bone idle, useless sponging burdens on society should be left to starve and freeze in the gutter, if they aren’t willing to make an effort in life.
2 police cars have been parked outside the place again today 14/09 clearly more police time being wasted just close the place down they clearly can’t be bothered to abide by the law
so someone who beat up 3 emergency workers probaly paramedics gets suspended sentence and another gets jail time for shoplifting?
I know makes no sense at all does it beating someone up is ok stealing a loaf of bread isn’t
Doesn’t make sense!
What a load of thugs costing us tax payers unnesseccary costs.
The Judge who saw fit to impose a non custodial sentence on the pond life that assaulted an emergency worker in the line of their duty, is not fit for purpose!!! That’s not justice, it’s disgraceful and the Judge is a disgrace. My sympathy is with the worker. The impact of the crime on the victim would have been bad enough. The so called justice has to be soul destroying.
