And apparently in Lancashire it's ok to get away with murder now.
Guardian's Article and the BBC's.
Basically, a bunch of teenagers in Lancashire assaulted a couple in the park and beat Robert Maltby unconcious as well as kicked his girlfriend Sophie Lancaster to near death for defending him (she died some days later in the hospital.) The reason for the attack is because they were goth.
What makes this whole incident even more infuriating is that some of the little shits are getting their sentences reduced, their already short as hell sentences reduced. Basically the UK's justice system is going to lock them up until they're around 30 where they'll be released, continue to act like little shits, and can still pick up their lives, get married, have a family and move on.
That feels like a spit in the face to the victims of the crime.
I realize the judges are trying to not ruin these kid's lives, but it's that kind of coddling behavior that I think allows this stupid shit to occur in the first place. If you're a douchebag who goes around killing people for stupid fuck reasons then you need to know just how fucked you are, and anyone else who thinks they can go around acting like morons could learn from your mistake.
In America we're no better, hell we'll even make up a reason for why you're guilty if you're black or latino. But seriously, this kind of behavior needs to stop. What the fuck have emo kids or goth kids or whatever done? Seriously? They're not going around raping your grandmother or anything are they? Are their studded belts blinding you or something? No, there's no reason. The other day I was talking with my friend and he was going on about how he hates emos and shit but for no reason. The reason is people've made them out to be the fall guys for rage, no real reason other than some people find them annoying and I guess that's enough for us all to fucking kill them right?
Bunch of fucking uncivilized wild animals.
