Absolutely horrible.

Just three years?!?

They need to loose the key and make certain it don't reproduce...

personally, i'd flamethrower him and then push him off a cliff, film it, then put it up on YouTube...

At least dogs can be trained to urinate/defaecate in appropriate places. There appears to be no hope for that degenerate.

...Anderson...had...been drinking when he and two friends spotted her...

Obviously, he can't handle his drink - people like that should learn to stop after the first shandy. He should be put down; it must surely be preferable to the sort of "life" I would imagine he leads now. Poor, pathetic creature.

"hey, hey, look how much of a massive socially inept drain-on-the-state should-be-in-prison idiot I can be" - Tube

I really really hate people sometimes

That is one of the most twisted things I've read in a long time.

The statement putting just as much guilt on the people who gathered and watched is spot on. They should feel thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Shocking

I find myself thinking that were I to witness something like this I'd probably resort to violence, it being the only thing that would have any kind of affect on these kinds of people. Then I think "does this make me any better than them though?"
The answer is of course Yes, until I start videoing it.

You know, I feel physically sick.

Can we just all hope that when our time comes, there's not some obnoxious braindead chavvite around.

I thought society had become depraved. Now it's been confirmed.

3 years... my bro plans fabrications for prisons, and he said young offender's institutes may *seem* horrible, but they are basically living in the lap of luxury. At our expense.

I will seethe quietly every time my taxes get paid from now on, because a percentage of it is practically condoning what this animal did.

3 years... I think he'll last two in there before he ends it.

I think people at the scene should have been named and shamed too, this is so upsetting.

What's more worrying is they say alcohol unleashes the attitudes and behaviour we try to hide most of the time. I'm not trying to get all hippy on you guys with "it's not his fault, it's society" - clearly this man should be punished for such a grotesque action - but it doesn't surprise me that he was an ex-soldier. Unsurprisingly, we don't train our soldiers to value human life, and this bears a grim resemblance to the pictures we all saw of how our soldiers treated Iraqi prisoners.

Individuals like this exist...I'm am neither bothered by this fact nor surprised by it.

What I find disturbing is that people stood by, watched and laughed.

That is one thing I believe most of us will agree on.

a shocking news item and yet again, someone jumps on the bandwagon and claims that drink and drugs were an influence which seems to be the common excuse for everything these days.

Society is going down the pan!

You left out loss of morality, common sense, dignity, respect of anything, the belief that we have the "right" to do whatever we want and no one is allowed to object or else they are persecuting us and showing their untethered bias and lack of understanding of us, etc. Then there are the classics scape goats... women's rights/feminism, rock-n-roll music, lack of solid parental guidance when a child... or... parents that were overly protective... or... parents that were abusive... or... parents that weren't there (pick one...being a parent means you are automatically the cause of anything your children do that's screwed up)... we also have Video/PC Games, Violence in Movies, the De-Sensitizing of our Youth through Movies, MTV, Rapp Music, etc.

Hmmmm I think that's most of the underdog factors that are to blame for any such antics... after all, no one should be expected to assume responsibility for their own ignorance and acts of dishonor and inhumanity, now should they?

I agree but my comments relate to what is generally printed in the British press these days.

I've read a great many news items recently where it has been reported that offenders have specifically used alcohol and drugs as an apparent excuse and have done so in the hope that they will receive a lenient sentence.

These people seem to think or believe that their behaviour is anything else but normal.

(pick one...being a parent means you are automatically the cause of anything your children do that's screwed up)...

I would argue that parenting is the single most important factor that determines what a child will grow up like. They are the ones that teach it right and wrong etc (violent video games etc cant be blamed for childrens behaviour, but if they are being taught right and wrong at home, where will they get the morality from?)
I work with young people, and the correlation between parent (or lack of) and child is starltling.
