We can only hope they will get the TLC they desperately need whilst they are inside.

If the sentences the other rioters got are anything to go by, I'd expect a sentence somewhere between closer to 2 years (and out in half that).
Also, as far as I'm aware, they were denied bail, so they've already spent over 6 months in custody.

Re: Riots
Woah!!! The European Court of Criminal/Terrorist/Lunatic Rights have finally come to a decision that isn't completely barmy!!!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/ma...?newsfeed=true
Quote:
A controversial police operation to "kettle" protesters in London has been judged lawful by the European court of human rights, which ruled on Thursday that the containment was the "least intrusive and most effective" tactic available to officers.
.
However, in a majority 14 to three vote that endorsed the decisions made by the Met in the case, the court held that an original 2005 high court finding in favour of the force still stood. "The court finds no reason to depart from the judge's [2005] conclusion that in the circumstances the imposition of an absolute cordon was the least intrusive and most effective means to be applied," the ruling said.

A looter has been jailed for 11-and-a-half years for starting a fire which destroyed a family-run furniture shop in south London during summer's riots.
Gordon Thompson, 33, stole a laptop from the House of Reeves in Croydon on 8 August before setting fire to a sofa.
The Old Bailey trial in February heard he told another man "it was me", as he walked away from the blaze.
Thompson, of Waddon Road, Croydon, changed his plea to guilty after the end of the prosecution case.

Re: Riots
It'd be nice to think a sentence like this might focus the minds of a few of these yobs but some of them are so stupid I doubt it'll register.
It'll be interesting to see what the courts hand down to this young lady and her chums in due course:

Re: Riots
I doubt it'll change the minds of anyone. From what I saw in the various documentaries most of the rioters were focused on getting their hands on "free stuff". All part of the "I deserve something for nothing" culture that chavs have.

Darrell Desuze, of Bath Road, Hounslow, pleaded guilty at Inner London Crown Court last month to the manslaughter of Richard Mannington Bowes....

Re: Riots
the judge said it was the if not one of the worst crimes during the riots. 8years isnt much considering what others have got for other crimes.
