Man of Honour
Seems like a perfectly reasonable sentence to me, given their ages.
A few years in secure care away from the influences that lead to them acting like that, at such a critical point in their lives has every chance of making them properly productive members of society. any longer would ruin those chances, and cost society in the long run.
You've never worked in a Juvenile Prison - I have.
There's a stronger chance they will come out worse.
Should have been hung instead - scum.
Well let's wait until all the facts in before we pass judgment on these lads. Doesn't look like they meant to kill him, they were just having a laugh. Boys will be boys. I'm sure we've all done silly stuff like that when we were kids. Is it really fair to ruin two boys lifes because of a freak accident from this old man having dodgy health?
They obviously didn't mean to kill him but did they need to hit him so hard?
And no, I have definitely never hit an old man to the ground when I was a kid.
