Watched this, very strange. My wife and I spent much of it incredulous at the incompetence of pretty much everyone involved.
- Two women try to kill themselves, yet are not properly secured by police at the scene but simply left standing around. I mean, who could possibly think that they'd try again?
- The number of police idiots required to secure a single female...the police were too weak, too incompetent to bring her down and deal with her properly. The woman that got absolutely floored should have taken action with a batton or something. Pathetic.
- Two women that are clearly bat**** insane, get released soon after trying to kill themselves several times and assaulting and abusing police officers and medics. Why were they released so soon? Because they seem to be alright now!!!! Were they not charged with anything? If so they should not have been granted bail on the grounds that they were a danger to themselves and the public, and if not they should have been charged. I sometimes wonder if the presence of a TV crew makes the police scared of doing their jobs.
- The judge gives a murderer a term of 5 years serving half of that, on the grounds of diminished responsibility and they mentioned something about LACK OF EVIDENCE?!?! If her responsibility was diminished, then she should have been committed to an mental institution. BUT OH NO we can't do that cause she's not symptomatic anymore. The judge's hands were tied apparently, but how ridiculous that common sense can't be employed. They should have watched the movie Primal Fear

.
A piece of paper says you are a doctor or a policeman and another piece of paper tells you the law in terms of how to deal with certain situations...but does common sense not come into this one jot?
The brother of the murdered man came across as incredibly humble and rational considering the situation. Obviously time has gone by, perhaps reducing the anger to a degree, but I would have been spitting metaphorical bile at the idiots that released a lunatic to kill my brother.
Last comment...the yanks would never have let it get that far.
