No one beat me to this news story, how strange?

Now try and make your usual excuses or this heap of sh*t.

The Mail uses the rather mild description 'Barbaric', I won't bother he and his two companions, who joined in the 'gang rape' are still savages in my mind.

"No one beat me to this news story" - true

I would say they're evil barbaric savages.

I didn't realise that the contributors to this site were in some sort of competition to be first to post on any particular story .

Well now , let me see - what a lovely chap - let's all visit him in prison .

Just the type of scum hanging was invented for, pity we got rid of that option

[ummmm]

Both... definitely.

[sp1814]

Gavin Gordon, 31, a drug addict who has a string of convictions for violence dating back more than ten years, was part of a gang that raped a 26-year-old woman in her home in Clapham, south London, while her boyfriend screamed as he was tortured in the next room.

No - evil.

But the evil in the truest sense.

If you can rape someone whilst their boyfriend is being tortured, then you fit into the category of 'evil'.

"Now try and make your usual excuses"

AOG I dont think Anybody will be making excuses here

[R1Geezer]

the thing that I find remarkable is that the scum will be free to do it again in 9 years.

[anotheoldgit]

It's been done in the past my Old Dutch,

[Zeuhl]

Very unlikely Geezer.

His sentence is 'indefinite', and bearing in mind the severity of the violence (sexual and otherwise) and the psychological reports scoring him as 'deeply disturbed' he will be incarcerated for a long, long time.

Quite right too.

[youngmafbog]

Unlikely unless we ge t another bunch of 'no labour do gooders' moaning about is 'ooman rights.

[tara20]

You`ve got to be human to deserve rights. They don't qualify.
Whatever happened to "at Her Majesty's Pleasure" ?

[chrissa1]

I sometimes watch Road Wars and others of its ilk and I love it when they describe an American crime of say, shooting a police officer, (not killing him). The commentator then says in awed tones, "he was jailed for...... 60 years!!" I mentally punch the air.
Why can't we hand out similar sentences here?

[Zabadak]

For Chrissa1: Sentencing in the US is very different from the UK. It's not unusual for serious crimes to attract sentences totalling many times any lifetime, but for actual terms served to be way lower. A 60 year sentence, depending on the state and other variables, might only result in a relatively short term of actual imprisonment. Maybe we're not that different in the UK.
