IF Found guilty, Probably blame it on having nothing to do, or drugs.
Courts should throw the book at them, and throw bricks and stones at them aswell while there at it.

30 and 33 years old, not kids, what the fook were they thinking.

Tossers.

I'd put them on the list for "re-education" (says he, easing the safety catch off).

f**king Grrrrs! send them to afghan to be used as targets to draw fire

Two Wirral men have admitted causing damage estimated to be in the hundreds of pounds to a Merseyside war memorial

Pissheads as usuall

Hi Alex Your right (Tossers) even at thier ages .There are loads of tosser`s out .I try to avoid them myself

string them up b*stards

Give them to 3 Para Mortar to be ruined first! Then they can be used as IED detectors. There really aren't words enough to describe these ...!!

They got prison sentences for being assholes and destroying flowers? That's a bad judgement, even if it is suspended.

The judgement was sound, the sentence was the community service, the suspended sentence is to keep them in check so they know that this behaviour wont be tolerated.

The fact that they were "only" flowers isn't the point, if we read things like that then a headstone is "only" a rock, the memorial to so many means much more.

Very well said, Dr! Exactly.
