Why are we even considering letting this guy out ?

How can we even consider letting this piece of scum out of prison.

With his record there is NO WAY he should be on the streets.

In fact reading a bit more, seems he was sentenced to 15 years in 2005 for attempted murder.

So why is he being considered for parole in 2007, only 2 years later ?.

He was already out on license for a previous murder.

No wonder our streets are not safe

Here is the report from 2005 when he was sentenced

Hardly a deterent is it?

Oh I get it.

In 2005, he was freed a year early after serving a term for murder (of a probation officer).

That's when he robbed the jewellers.

Now he's got a 14 year sentence for this robbery/attempted murder.

Come now sp1814, you know the rules round here. Never let a trivial thing like reading the article properly get in the way of a good indignant rant. ;-)
