Far too lenient - and as for all this rubbish now that because of their age certain individuals cant be named publicly - what nonsense that is. I can understand in the cases of sexual abse of the victim and such like. But if they are of the age to make reasoned judgement then name and shame. I would certainly want to know if a machete wielding maniac lived anywhere near me and my dogs if they were 17 or 71!
"Many saying 8 months isn’t enough. Current sentencing guidelines mean that was the max the judge could give (possession of the machete) That’s why sentencing under Finns Law needs to increase from 6 months to 5 yrs. Please lobby your local MP"
