British justice system: the best in the world?

Sex with a girl of 12? You're no pervert.

Judge Alistair Bell jailed Nigel Hall for just a year for having sex with a 12 year old girl.

The judge said he was ''merely a man who permitted his inclinations to overcome his duty and judgement.''

Ok. I accept that that is important. He clearly has no concept of the lasting damage such abuse causes.

Sounds to me like its either time to

1) Loosen up the old firearms laws or

2) Allow shooting clubs to have pederasts as legitimate targets. No limits.

you're on to something there....
lets give 'em to the military for live training. when a soldier needs to shoot, get an absolute degenerate from the bowels of any prison system and tell 'em. "if you can get from point A to point B (about 10k/6 miles away) you get your freedom.

put it on pay per view.... people wanna see where the tax dollars go anyway and all the proceeds goes to the victims family and the school system

Spectator sports. Sounds good to me. The Romans had it right. Let's add the religious fundamentalists, racists, and other -ists on the lists of potential targets.

Freescorfr was right. The judge was trained in the English legal system and was operating in an English Court.

That said, he is so out of touch with reality you have to wonder whether he should be allowed out on his own.

I missed that report.

I hope the girl's family appeal to the High Court to have the sentence reviewed.

In 1995, the said judge told a rape victim that she had given the ''amber light'' to her attacker for inviting him into her bedroom while wearing a dressing gown.

Nigel Hall, btw, is 32 year old.
