Perhaps she should have spent some more time instilling in him the importance of ones actions.

So still not vandalism it much worse as it endangers people and so isn't a purely monetary crime.
if he'd spray painted a wall as long as the building owner was happy i'd be fine with him just being made to clean it and repaint it, or to pay for the owner to hire a professional if they preferred, but he didn't as you say he committed violent disorder and so it can't just be solved by paying for the dmg.
Which is basically what you got told when you originally posted about it, the fact you keep trudging it up as blood money when everyone you mention it too shouts it down for anything other than vandalism shows you're not even reading what people said.
Although why you edited my post to be under Durzel's name i don't know
The crime of Violent Disorder mentions nothing about endangering people.
So just to clarify, you're against organisations like the Bullingdon Club using unlawful violence at dining establishments full of other people and then paying their way out of it so charges aren't pressed? That's pretty much violent conduct you know.

Oh I copied the tag from Durzel's quote and forgot to change the name. Apologies.
Just over a year for nearly killing a police officer. Yeah that's REALLY harsh
You don't get sentenced for nearly doing something. You get sentenced based on fact and evidence. He in this case I believe was handed his sentence based on 2 things
1. His intent to do someone harm, injury or bodily harm via the action of throwing said extinguisher from the top of the building, this is very different from saying he attempted to murder someone. I don't think he was attempting murder. I do however think he was intending to cause someone harm / bodily injury. This I think is a fact and could be extrapolated and diagnosed using the available footage of the day.
2. Judge probably thought it was a good opportunity to make an example of this idiot so that other rioting students will think properly about turning up in London and smashing the place up as now they know if they are slightly over zealous they have a good chance of doing time at her majesties pleasure. This is not really justification, but does fulfil the part of sentencing acting as a formidable deterrent for others.
depends what happens did they threaten/throw things at patrons that would reasonably cause harm?
The next few years of his life.
His mum should be more worried about how he is going to be used as the prison bitch. I hope she sends him some Hi-Karate soap on a rope so he doesn't have to bend over to pick the soap up from the shower room floors !!!
It is a youth offenders institution, not a prison.

Good on the guy's mother for telling him to own up.
It seems that those who use a peaceful protest to indulge in serious violence don't get a lengthy sentence of immediate custody if they happen to be Police Officers
see my previous post, it only seems harsh because hardcore crimes seem to get lenient sentences. If those more despicable crimes got heavier sentences as they deserve, this one would seem and in my opinion is appropriate. He'll be out in 18 months anyhow
How old do you have to be before you go to prison? He was 18.
I don't think it's that harsh of a sentance, just that other sentances should be tougher than they are.
So will he be playing xbox games for the next few years.

Shurely shome mishtake . . . unless the BBC are suggesting that Murdoch's Cowboys are amateurs
