And people wonder why the tryst has been lost in institutions?!
I’m pretty strong on law and order, but people have lost their minds and everything is to make a point…except violent offenders, it seems, as they get light sentences and laugh at the “deterrence.”
Bloke lost his mind for a moment, at a time when 50,000 other people did, too. Put his hand up, apologized, and STILL gets a big fine (that goes where?) and FOUR YEAR BAN?????
WTAF?!
How about some understanding?
Unless there’s something come up in court that colors this case slightly differently, it would make sense to give him 1 yr ban. That would be more than enough deterrence for a seemingly decent bloke, who has already shown remorse, put his hand up, apologized profusely, etc, etc, etc!
Sometimes, I just don’t understand sentencing. It seems like it’s down to what kind of day the Judge is having and whether they like the look of you or not!
If there’s any grounds for appeal, then I might try that. It’s fucking mental, like others have said, the way ACTUAL criminals get off or the light touch, and this poor bugger gets the hammer!
At least he will get to see Haaland’s last season with us before he leaves on a free to Spain!
