This looting made me laugh.

They had seen the images from London and Birmingham and wanted to bring a bit of rioting and looting to their own little corner of a West’s market town.

With their hoods up and with bricks in hand, they had arranged to meet on Facebook and selected their target – the Tesco Express store in the centre of Calne, Wiltshire.

Looks good so far.

But things didn’t really go according to plan for the Calne Five, who hadn’t exactly done their homework before setting off for a night of rioting, mayhem and looting.

For a start, they perhaps failed to realise that the looters of London were smashing shop windows because shops were closed so they could get inside to steal their goods.

It gets funnier by the minute

But if the shop is still open, like the Tesco Express in Calne was at the time on Tuesday night, they could easily have simply walked in through the open door.

But, with the two frightened staff inside quickly calling the police, the five set about trying to smash the huge pane of thickened glass that makes up much of the shopfront with their bricks and sticks.

It cracked, but did not shatter. In the end, with the door to the shop opening and closing just feet away as bemused customers came and went, the five ran off as the police arrived.

The full story is here.

I think I’ve wet myself.

Gotta nother quid Gov?

Yesterday I posted about an 89 year old man, called Aaron who had his barber shop destroyed by the looters.

It would seem that he’s not the only one who’s livelihood has been destroyed.

Criminal justice system has failed.

Am I the only one that thinks that the criminal justice system has allowed these riots to happen?

In my dim and distant past, sentencing fit the crime.

There were no ASBOs', no “community sentencing”, and no “the poor man has come from a deprived neighbourhood”.

The law was absolute with no excuses.

In the eighties and nineties we saw a gradual change from natural justice to a view that the perpetrators of crime were just victims of their circumstances.  Ie  if you didn’t bother to learn anything at school , and hence were unemployable, then it was for some reason or other, not your fault.

What we saw was a change in the sentencing system that judged that those from sink estates were considered to be victims of an unjust society and had to be protected as it was not their fault that they had transgressed.

What we need to see is a profound sea change in the sentencing of those who transgress the laws of the land. Sentencing that fits the crime.

No more £80 fine for shoplifting. Six months for a first offence, rising to five years for the second.

Burglary, Six months for the first offence, ten years for the second.

let’s have no excuses that the prisons are full. Simple. Build more prisons..

Rioting fail

Apparently we had rioting in Kent as well last night according to BBC (Spits) South East, thirteen people were arrested.As reported by thisiskent

The first distrubance (Their spelling mistake, not mine) of the night happened yesterday at around 8.30pm in Hope Street, Gillingham, and saw confrontations between youths and the police.

Crews from Kent Fire and Rescue Service were called to a car fire in New Street, Chatham, at 12.56am, followed by another vehicle on fire in the Wickes car park in Maidstone Road at 1.07am and a third car alight in the Chatham Tesco multi-storey car park at Eldon Street at 1.29am.

Almost an hour later, at 2.20am, crews dealt with a small rubbish fire in a shelter on Rainham High Street before tackling a number of bin fires in Gillingham High Street at 2.34am. Officers also dealt with numerous incidents of criminal damage to cars in the area.

Well done Kent Police in tackling the 15,000  15 rioters.

Incidents of vandalism were reported in Chatham, Rainham and Gillingham overnight after a group of around 15 young men, understood to have travelled to the area by train, set several fires across the towns.

Seems that Kent can’t even home grow their own Mob. Shame on you, the underclass, in Kent.

Am I being to harsh on the Scumbags of Kent, or should it be Kentish Scumbags?

The Metropolitan police need your help.
