Cleopatra Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Should judges be regularly vetted to ascertain their suitability to continue in the job? I have long maintained that they should and a recent court case could only support what I say that some judges do lose their marbles. David Cameron spoke out after a Judge Peter Bowers told a burgler stood before him in the dock, "It takes a huge amount of courage, as far as I can see, for somebody to burgle somebody's house. I wouldn't have the nerve." Then handed him a 12 months suspended sentence, telling the criminal, "I'm going to take a chance on you." Dave stressed that burglary is not bravery, it's cowardice and is a hateful crime. I do wish he would intervene and order the suspended sentence to be replaced by a custodial one.

wolfie Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well seeing that it is now ok to shoot burglars, I suppose the judge had a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Perhaps part of Judge's training should be a 6 month stay on a Chav Estate and a compulsory diet of the Jeremy Kyle show?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Everyone should own a shotgun and blast any intruders at will..... why should a compulsive burglar be given a suspended sentence? If it is a first time offence; ok, give the person a chance to change. Second offence should equal double the sentence, third offence should be triple the recomended sentence.... any more and it should be life without parole on a remote Scottish island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Why waste this burglars bravery ? After he has been recognised in the New Year's Honours List get him signed up for a 22 stretch in the army & have him assigned to the front line of every conflict that involves the UK.I am sure his courage would be an inspiration to the soldiers on any battlefield !

Evil Sid Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think they should all get a suspended sentence like in sri lanka. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/08/28/oukoe-uk-srilanka-hangmen-idUKBRE87R0IS20120828 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well seems that the matter is to be investigate after several complaints about the judge's huge amount of courage remark to the burgler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
