They deserve 20 minutes in a locked room with the childs parents!

Back to the original topic, I think the law has been far to light on criminals in the past. These people got what they deserved as should all the children who took part in the actual riots, can't be named for "legal reasons", bollox! If they can rampage through the streets they can be named in the press and should be tried and sentenced as adults as should their parents!

those sentancing need to show the same 'balls' when dealing with major threats to society!

those people should be sent to afghan to prove patrol routes clear of IEDs,

Send them in blindfold with heavy boots!

I believe the judicial system is usually to blame for a heck of a lot of trouble that continues to occur. Police work very hard to identify the culprits who are rewarded with a slap on the wrist. This no deterent for criminals - which is what these lads are. There are many crimes which are much too leniently dealt with and the courts (my opinion only) need to step up and dish out more sentences which would hopefully make these people think twice before commiting similar offences. Had they succeeded in their efforts, how many innocent people would have suffered?
