Edinburgh war memorial vandalised

[Red Rackham]

Perhaps a lengthy sentence might change that.

It wouldn't happen. Left wing 'human rights lawyers' would see to that.

Stick them in with the Sodomites, 

Some of them might enjoy that.

Im with you on this cromwell , I would bang the parents up as well for dereliction of duty

Unfortunately the law (is an Ass) doesn't allow it . Criminal damage under the cost of £5K is seen by the Magistrate (max sentance 3 months) though hopfully it a bit different in Scotland

Stick them in with the Sodomites, be the longest 3 months of their lives. A bit of Captain Pug Wash 😜

A google on "war memorial vandalised." gets results going back years. Then there is this:-

That PDF says nothing about who vandalises war memorials and why, but does say it is quite rare.

"Various newspaper headlines from past years" - none of which you have supplied - is not exactly compelling evidence. After all, tabloid headlines are hardly noted for their accuracy and honesty.

Well go on, do the searches of those who vandalise and piss on these memorials yourself, I merely refer to various newspaper headlines from past years.

Quite possibly little will be done. Seems the norm with many crimes today. But there really is no need to bring your ugly racist assumptions into it, which I very much doubt you can back up with anything resembling evidence.

In fact, when it comes to prosecutions and imprisonments, all the statistics I have ever seen tend to suggest that black people are more likely to be prosecuted than whites, not less.

Yet we know from past vandalisms of war memorials that f**k all will be done especially if the vandals are black or Irish or "victims" of our operations in Afghanistan or Iraq.

I'm sure it would be,however that would reduce them to the level of the vandals.

Possibly but based on tent thieves at motorcycle rallies, (which is a VERY far occurrence,) falling down several flights of invisible stairs before the police arrive, it does act as deterrent. (No comment at all from the police.)

I doubt the idea was fight a war in order  that people can have the crap beaten out of them by people acting like a bunch of Nazi thugs.

A few hours in a Veterans Motorcycle Club, Clubhouse would be my preferred option.

Not a rare occurrence unfortunately.

People laid down their lives to preserve our way of life and freedoms,those freedoms didn't include behaving like a ****.

If located prosecuted and found guilty got to be worth three years,it's not like they're going to lose their lives is it?
