AIBU?

To think there are far too many do-gooders who believe that criminals should have rights .....

that outweigh the normal law abiding folk of this country.
The pretence that the riots are in some way linked to the shooting of Mr Duggan is ludicrous! How does the death of one man incite riots in so many cities? Sorry but it is mindless violence and vandalism imo. Greedy little hi* who don't work or contribute to the economy and who want an excuse to get something for nothing, as seen by the looting of shops where goods could be resold . I think these yobs and the parents should lose any benefits they get to pay for the damage and those who work should have to pay a higher tax rate for life (a bit like if you are a danger on the roads you get a higher premium). Deterrants are needed and now we don't seem to have any.......... prison cells with TVs, toilets etc are better than single service forces accomodation and sentencing is an absolute joke.......the baby P killer being out in no time is a prime example of the lack of justice. If the yobs have taught us anything, it is that we need tougher punishments for crimes committed. Sorry rant over
How can parents be allowing their 10/11/12/ 13 year old children out until 10-11pm at night? or not know what they are doing? They are kids!

I keep opening these... why?

scurryfunge · 10/08/2011 23:39

Full house for Daily Mail wank-word Bingo.

Well done.

GypsyMoth · 10/08/2011 23:39

the first 2 convicted in court today were neither kids or on benefits!

lubeybooby · 10/08/2011 23:40

Siiiiiiiiiiiigggggggh

twinklypearls · 10/08/2011 23:40

I am dedicating my life to making the lives of criminals better. I do not give a fig about innocent victims, people living in famine, abused children. No I love criminals.

tethersend · 10/08/2011 23:41

I made banana cake today, but it didn't come out as well as last time.

fedupofnamechanging · 10/08/2011 23:42

I would like to see the rioters and looters physically made to clear up the mess and repair the damage. If they are on benefits, I would like to see those benefits reduced in order to make some financial reparation. If they are working, I would like to see money deducted at source (like the CSA do) to pay towards the cost of fixing this.

I think these people will only change if they have to physically work to repair what they have destroyed and pay for it financially.

GretaGip · 10/08/2011 23:42

Did you use a different brand of flour?

scurryfunge · 10/08/2011 23:42

But did that banana cake resemble a firearm?

SiamoFottuti · 10/08/2011 23:43

any news on facists corner? It would be the busiest topic in no time......

ps, toilets in prison cells? Whatever next? Life o fucking riley, innit?

twinklypearls · 10/08/2011 23:43

I would like to feed the rioters tethers' shit cake, that will stop them. Better still lets fire the cake out of a cannon at them.

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/08/2011 23:45

You will notice that I did also say and the people who work should have to pay a higher rate of tax to pay for the damage

tethersend · 10/08/2011 23:45

I didn't say it was shit, just not as good as last time!

Actually, it may have been the file concealed within it which made it taste a bit odd...

tethersend · 10/08/2011 23:45

It was shit

Steph260311 · 10/08/2011 23:46

I agree OP. It almost seems unreal that it's happening in so many places. The prisons are full which is why people get shorter sentences I think.
People sent to jail used to lose their rights as their punishment but now people seem to retain their rights so there is less of a deterrent to prison.
I'm not sure that stopping benefits would reduce crime as some people would choose to steal to live instead of finding a job.
Bring back capital punishment and workhouses lol!

GypsyMoth · 10/08/2011 23:47

yeah,you throw in a little disclaimer...tone of your post leaves us with no doubt what you really mean!!

so far all those involved have been working/children

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/08/2011 23:47

Hope it was organic non modified flour because I'd hate to upset their delicate balance

OP posts:

GretaGip · 10/08/2011 23:49

Really?

lol at "Bring back capital punishment and workhouses"?

Tortington · 10/08/2011 23:49

make them to ballet

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/08/2011 23:50

Yes and that is my point! If the parents were actually parenting then the little -ws- angels would not be out on the streets.

OP posts:

GretaGip · 10/08/2011 23:51

That's right dear.

Steph260311 · 10/08/2011 23:52

Well they obviously aren't spending enough time at work/school to be displaying such abhorrent behaviour.

twinklypearls · 10/08/2011 23:52

I suspect if they spent more time wanking and less time looting the world would be a better place.

thecaptaincrocfamily · 10/08/2011 23:55

Discipline starts early, so many parents daren't discipline children and think its cruel..........well here is to reaping what is sown. Children who choose not to think about being moral, who steal. The children have to go home to someone with these goods and people seriously believe that parents are not to blame? The parents are likely to know but how many would actually go to the police .

LemonDifficult · 10/08/2011 23:55

An enormous number of people in the UK share your views OP. Almost none of them post on Mumsnet.

You are right to be angry about the rioters.

However, amongst other things, you are wrong to be going on about sanitary conditions in prisons. If it makes you feel better, Wandsworth Prison was today deemed 'demeaning, unsafe and fell below what could be classed as decent' by a report.
