The sentence they have been given will have given out a message to other reprobates not to try to pull a stunt like this...... in an effort to prevent such a FB campaign from recurring again. ;)

I hate "making an example" of people, with that reasoning you're chucking them under a bus purely to uphold some principle and to make a point. You might consider it effective but that doesn't make it just.

Hell mend them then - they should have thought of that before they thought it would be an amusing thing to do. They're laughing at the other side of the face now. I doubt they will do the same thing again......if the lesson taught has to be a hard one, so be it.

They were banged up for 3 years, they'll be out this time next year - hardly being chucked under a bus.

No, it won't - it will have just given out a message that stupid teenagers will get banged up with hairy-assed neanderthals ..... :eek:

There was NO "campaign" ..... :nono:

Good....that will make them think twice about doing it again.





Well it certainly wasn't a friendly invite over to their place for Wine and Cheese. :nono:

Very true - there was no mention of deep-fried Mars Bars and Buckfast, either ...... :shrug:

:joker:

There is a guy fairly near to where we are (southampton)going on trial for similar in Feb.
I remember at the time that a lot of people who where working in offices/ shops in southampton went home early and shut up shop because the police took these facebook pages seriuosly, and a lot of people were worried sick.

In my opinion these people deserve all they get

See..... pair of selfish gits into the bargain. Increase their sentence to 5 years !

:D

Harsh but I suppose its to set an example for anyone contemplating the same thing.
