[A group of friends who beat up a teenager
in a turf war between two towns in Oxfordshire
have been spared jail.
Kieran Clifton, 19, dragged his victim, 17,
out of his car and beat him while shouting
‘you’re going to be unrecognisable after this’
and ‘do you want to stab me?’]

Disgusting

Surprised you haven’t put white in the title artists; it’s clearly the reason they were spared jail and you seem more than Happy to put Black in the title when it’s not relevant

Ridiculous decision

[Mystic Mock]

Is this a joke?

[Oliver_W]

Most of them look like they wouldn't cope in prison, but play stupid games ...

If we had a thread for every teen who escaped jail for beating someone up, it'd be all we talked about.

They'd cope as well in prison as any other 18/19 year old sent to prison. Not well. But you don't get spared if you don't have parents with money. It's not even a race issue here, if they were from a council estate they'd be in jail. It's that simple.

In order to make those claims TS, you need to show us a similar crime where the poor kid was jailed.

I "need" to? I don't need anything to claim anything. What you mean is, in order for you to believe those claims I'd need to show that.

I don't have the energy to put in the legwork today, which obviously is squarely on me, so I guess that's fair enough. Full disclosure; I'm not even going to open Google. I'm going for a shower and to walk the dog.

Article says that it was the lawyer who said they wouldn't cope, not the judge.

I did a Google search for 'spared jail' and there is a lot of cases.

Would you like White
in the title?

The law doesn't apply in the same way when you have money.

Just a bit of hijinx, no need for jail just a stern word in their parents ear to keep out of trouble till uni is back.

Don't be taking legal advice from anyone else arista. The legal advice rife on this forum isn't worth a cup of cold piss.

Really?

[Liam-]

Aye, kicking someone’s teeth in is definitely just ‘hijinx’
