POACHER ON TONIGHTS NEWS???

[borderer]

This will probably ruffle a few feathers but that is life Did any of you watch the news tonight? The old guy 78yrs old got 3mths in prison for going near the river Don as he had life time banning order keeping him away from the river, because he was a salmon poacher 50YEARS AGO!!!!
Is it me or has this world gone crazy???People murder, Abuse kids,Rape woman. and after a few years are allowed back into society, yet this old guy gets 3 mths for something he did when he was young. I am not saying what he did was right far from it, but i think after 50 years not being allowed near the river he has paid his dews. i canny wait to hear your views on this

Total madness, the bloody judge should have a good feckin look at himself, waist of tax payers money puting an old guy like that in jail whilst variouse other criminals get comunity service or pityfull small fines The UK has indeed gone totaly feckin mad

hi folks new here . sad days that they do that to a old guy for poaching 50 years ago. he has served his punishment

[perthshirefisher]

As said, TOTAL! MADNESS! there was a persistant shop lifter with a long record in court this week, in the morning he was up for shoplifting and he was slapped on the wrist,and then he was caught the same day! in the afternoon doing it again.

Up again the next day and another slap on the wrist and walked out of court free!!.

And this old guy gets three months for this 50yr old rulling,just for being at the river.

BONKERS!!

The most outrageous thing ive heard in a long time.The judge needs a good slap if you ask me.

[earnfisher]

His own fault. He should have robbed a bank or fiddled expensies like the m.p.s and they would have given him a new house money and anything else he wanted.
Contempt of court was the reason.
Read about a woman who defrauded the scocial out of over £50.000 and she got nine months.
The law does not work at present. When you see M.P.s getting 18months for fiddling expensies and they are out in three months what is the point of living an honest life.
