We are continually being bombarded, on a local and national level, about extreme acts of violence and thuggery on poor defenceless individuals.

In tonight's Manchester Evening News, an elderly gentleman was battered and beaten during a burglary, to such an extent that his bruised n battered face is unrecognisable.

We demand, judges get tough...stop passing sentences FOR ANY CRIME that are a joke.You do the CRIME you deserve a sentence that is not only a deterrent to others, but punishes the perpetrator.We are sick to death of hearing about HUMAN RIGHTS of the criminals and ridiculously lenient sentences.
