His actions were deplorable but the "hang em high" brigade are now on his case and he doesn't deserve what's now inevitably coming his way.

It seems likely he could be thrown out of university. That's a disgrace. The punishment needs to fit the crime. He's going to end up with a criminal record, no university course, no job, no future. All because he got too drunk and did something he shouldn't.

Whilst remaining appalled at what he did, if he is chucked out of university it is a step too far. Where has the compassion gone in our society? He made an error of judgement. Who hasn't? Give the lad another chance.

I know of three "old soldiers", not one of them supports chucking him out of university.
