Prisoners in the UK are pampered fuckers, they should be doing hard labour not sitting pretty with a better life than a lot of families on the breadline. I blame the stupid bastards who voted for the human rights act . My mate did his time around the same time I did mine, back in the early 80's and nick (as we call prison) was a tough ride and more of a punishment.
You had the chances to learn when you were down but it wasn't the cakewalk it is now.

I told about my friend to show the insanity of the sentence the woman who killed a child got. How can they send down my friend for two years for defending himself and then this bitch gets off so lightly for the murder of a defenseless child ?

He's already done his time and he's pretty philosophical about it, he says he possibly could of done things differently but things went the way they did.
When the skuffle broke out he was pretty much running on survival instinct a(He doesn't like to talk about it), but he said it happened so fast and it was a bit of a blur but the mugger died from a single wound.
I've known him a lot of years and he's a lot more peaceful person than I am and he wouldn't ever have done it deliberately , I think fear and his survival instinct were responsible for him reacting with any kind of violence.
I feel sorry for the muggers family but he did bring it on himself
