read the last messages and I'm supposed to be the crazy one in here. if I follow your way of thinking,
this poor kid should have never gotten 16 months in jail, after all he was just protesting, he just threw a few eggs, he did a mistake, he wanted to piss people off, he didn't want to offend the queen, he didn't hurt anyone, the judge shouldn't use him as an example.. BRITAIN IS A DICTATORSHIP, yadayadayada
from the article:
...Charlie Gilmour, 21, reeled in shock as he was handed a 16-month sentence for his ‘outrageous and deeply offensive behaviour’ during a drug-fuelled rampage that also saw him attack Prince Charles’s car. ...
...Yesterday the yob tried to excuse his behaviour, saying that he had not known it was the Cenotaph. But Judge Nicholas Price scoffed at the excuse, saying: ‘For you, a young man of undoubted high intelligence, education and background, to profess you didn’t know what the Cenotaph represented defies belief...
However, he accepted that Gilmour had shown contrition the day after his actions, and stressed that his antics at the Cenotaph did not form part of the violent disorder charge...."
