They Caught the Scum
...who set fire to the Furniture Shop in Croydon.

Quote:
A looter has been jailed for 11-and-a-half years for starting a fire which destroyed a family-run furniture shop in south London in the summer riots.

Gordon Thompson, 34, stole a laptop from the House of Reeves in Croydon on 8 August before setting fire to a sofa.

Personally I think it still isn't enough...... more like public execution, that way no-one would consider doing it in the future!!

Had an argument with a colleague about this. She thought they were all just misguided youths and shouldn't be made examples of for their mistakes.... I say he got what he deserved. I'm 23 and you don't see any of my social circle breaking into places.

You put yourself in the situations you are penalised for Thumbs Up ===================================
