These sentences are very low aren't they. An unprovoked hate attack, which lead to death. What business is it not theirs if people are gay or not.😥

Yep, but sentences for violent crime in the UK are crazy low across the board. However, we all keep voting for political parties that want jail time reduced rather than increased, so presumably people are pretty happy with the situation.

Defendants were 15 and 18 at the time.

I presume that juvenile aspect has something to do with the sentencing
