And just because a court decides it is racial harassment doesn't mean it actually is. You really shouldn't put you faith in the justice system to be right.
Like mentions earlier, the two guys who were put away for 4 years because of a comment on Facebook... That is wrong in my eyes. I don't agree with what they said, but sexual assault and grievous bodily harm get 4 years... Is saying something the same as them?
I doubt that either side will agree with you that it doesn't matter what happens in court! The winner will be very happy indeed, especially if it's the defendant ( and the BNP and its supporters ).
Like it or lump it, the court decision will decide the issue....for now.
I work in the court system, so I don't need any reminding about wrong verdicts. In this case, as in others, some will argue the court got it wrong. That's life.
As regards the sentencing of the rioters, the riots were unprecedented.
Harsher sentences than would normally have been handed down were justifiable under the circumstances, in my view.
Others will disagree.
It's called living in a democracy.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
