11 years may seem extreme to some but I am just glad about one thing as to these riots offenders, especially this one.
That is that it seems to have in part been taken into account what could have happened,that it was very fortunate no one was in the building or that people living nearby didn't lose any of their lives.

Supposition is not a usual part of court procedure but it would seem the possible effects of what may have happened.(such as loss of lives or injuries to others), and just by chance did not, was in part at least considered in this case and duly sentenced on.

How great it would be if for other crimes like abduction/kidnap for instance, if we could get 'intent' added as a further offence to whatever charge was originally made.
