"It was racist abuse via a social networking site instigated as a result of a vile and abhorrent comment about a young footballer who was fighting for his life. At that moment, not just the footballer's family, not just the footballing world but the whole world were literally praying for his life. Your comments aggravated this situation.
"I have no choice but to impose an immediate custodial sentence to reflect the public outrage at what you have done. "You committed this offence while you were drunk and it is clear you immediately regretted it. But you must learn how to handle your alcohol better."
I don't care what he said. Its the internet and it is wrong he has been arrested! Being racist is just plain ignorance and amounts to about the same thing as calling a fat person fat. Muamba didn't even see it and probably none of his family saw it either. This is just fabricated nonsense from a load of moralfag twitter users who jumped on their highhorses, Can't people just laugh and him for the twit he is?... If they arrested every racist comment and antisocial behaviour online the jails would be full within a day. Besides who doesn't like a good troll when they are bored?
Was the guy wrong? Yes. Is he a pr*ck? Most likely. Does the punishment fit the crime? Absolutely not.
This will cost tax payers money, has ended his univerity course, will ruin his whole life and career prospects. Being named, shamed and fined would have been a better result all round.
Has anyone else ever made a mistake? I've made plenty and will undoubtedly continue to do so. Ridiculous decision.
A good rule of thumb - don't scream 'nigger' at people on the internet and you won't risk finding out the law can be unfair.
And Suarez doesn't even get nicked......Was made an example of because people knew it would make news because of the situation. Of course he is wrong but when you see people getting suspended sentences for your typical street thugs for assault etc. it really is harsh
To sum it up John Terrys court case carries a maximum penalty of a £2,500 fine :facepalm:
Exactly, what he said was disgusting but when you see worse offences escaping prison it just shows that the penalty was so severe because of the publicity surrounding it.Woman in paper today, she has 3 children aged 7, 5 and 4. They were found wandering near a main road, covered in faeces because she had left them home alone to go clubbing. When the authorities searched the home it was a complete tip. She was sentenced to 4 months, suspended for 12 months. Nice to see good old child abuse is taken less seriously than the typed words of a drunken idiot.
