Another failure by the British Judicial System, 18 years in a young offenders institution playing videos games for an 18 year MAN? if the law says he is a MAN then he should go to PRISON for 13 years. No wonder this country has gone to the dogs

13 years for pre meditated attempted murder and he will serve probably only 8 years in reality - absolute joke . This clearly deranged individual needs a life sentence so that the rest of society can be assured of their safety in the future. It's about time the punishment reflects the crime!!!!!
