Unfortunately, as a porn star, she's 10 years past her prime. She'll still bruise the dude big-time.

Well beyond comprehension at this point.

Did you read the whole headline?

In the article it says that there was one security guard in attendance. That's depressingly hilarious.

I was just focussing on "fails to draw a crowd". Obviously as a non-American, I don't care about the rest.

See a guy (17 years old) got 10 and a half years for six acid attacks and attempted robberies in one night in London. The BBC were reporting on it as if it was some harsh sentence showing no tolerance for this sort of thing.

Some of his victims have been permanently disfigured, disabled and traumatised. One victim is described as having life changing injuries.

Just over one year per victim. Taking into account a possible early guilty plea, good behaviour and application for a tag I believe it's possible he may only serve about 3 years inside a prison.

What kind of a sentence is that.

Seven in my post.

What do you make of the punishment?

I am all for rehabilitation and offenders being given a second chance and trying to hold back on the heavy handedness especially given the current state of UK prisons but this just seems ludicrous to me.

That’s ridiculous

I wish you could send him down to Florida so we could strap his bitch ass up to old sparky

That’s an insult to his victims and and their loved ones.

Minors who commit adult crimes get sentenced as adults in Florida. He’d be in jail and then prison with the big boys and his ******* would get ripped open fresh everyday.

As much as I hate Florida I’m glad that people here have a proper sense of vengeance. That piece of **** needs to pay proper. Torture, rape, death. And that is what he’d get down here. Not the death penalty but he’d die in prison. First, emotionally then physically.

The judge said he'd have got 22 years if convicted as an adult but because he's 17, it was 10 and a half years.

Under Khomeini Iran let the victims family members kill the ****. Full respect for that.

You can’t reform someone who throws acid on people. Just gotta take out the garbage.

Which means, at best, maybe five. That means he's still in his early twenties when he gets out. ****ing ridiculous. Courts need to send a message that this sort of **** is not acceptable, and this is not that message. ****er should have acid thrown in his face, see how he likes it. Bet all his victims were random, unknown to and unconnected to him too, am I right?
