Mr Bumble was right, it is an ass!

Sometimes the law can confuse even the most rational person and leave them questioning the logic of it all. The killer of young Rhys Jones is quite rightly sentenced to serve a minimum of 22 years for his callous and brutal deed. Now I don’t see much difference in the case as that of the murder of young David Idowu in Catford. Little Rhys was 11 and David 14. Both boys were innocently getting on with their own business when they were viciously killed for no reason whatsoever by a 16 year old.

So why is David’s killer told he will only serve a minimum of 12 years? A minimum sentence almost half that of Rhys’s killer. Shouldn’t there be some uniformity here? Shouldn’t all our citizens, especially our younger ones, expect to be protected by the law from the murderous cowardly attacks of these psychotic bullies?
