Urinating on war memorial

[highlander]

Listening to radio2 about the 19yr old who urinated on a war memorial and could be sent to prison for it, some think its harsh, what they are saying his name phil laing is on utube and has had threats of being kneecaped or murdered. With having his name on the internet he will be persecuted for the rest of his life, what they are talking about it is how can he redeam himself. People have phoned in and said he should be made to clean up war memorials, or run a marathon to raise money for help of heros. Yes he should be given harsh punishment but is prison the answer?

Imprisoned for urinating on a memorial? Has the world gone completely mad?

He is young and daft, the fault is on us for not inculcating him into a life of respect for all things that need respect. We are really needing a load of shame right now.

Thanks for posting the link

Another case of the vile british media blowing something all out of proportion. He was a drunken divot who more than likely had no idea what he was taking a leak on, he should be fined, given a bucket and scrubbing brush, and told to scrub the memorial clean on a Saturday afternoom for all to see, but jail?...that's just a step too far.
This happens every weekend up and down the country, this lad is one of thousands doing the same thing, he was just unlucky enough to be photographed doing it.

now i dont condem what he has done, imo he is young and was a bit worse for ware after to many shandy's, but by all means put him in prison. Right after they put the 100's of muslim extreemist's who march in protest of the war and those who serve us in foreign lands, with slogan's of hate etc, what's good for one is good for the others surely?

Yes he should be punished but not with Prison, what will that teach him?

Better to make him clean it up and do a bit of community service helping people who fought in WW2 and learn a bit about what they fought for.

How many "Brits Abroad" go urinating all over Europe, it is more of a binge drinking problem I think.

Why not let him spend his sentence in a military prison? A spell in DQ's would soon sort him out, no human rights in those places.

If it had been your new Wendy house he had been photographed urinating on, would you be so tolerent Rheg?

Skin him alive! Skin him alive, cut bits off him and burn his twitching corpse, then fashion his skin into a vile, gruesome, flapping cape to be worn by the pitchfork-wielding, torch-bearing, baying mobs as they dance around his open funeral pyre!

Yeah, that'll teach him. Teach him good. If it was good enough for Ozzy Osbourne after he did the same on the Alamo, then it's good enough for this reprobate.

[youoldduffer]

Bring back national service that'll teach em.

And THEN make him clean up the memorial!

People are such idiots. Kneecapping anyone for any reason is much worse that peeing on something, for any reason!

Aye, I'm just a bleeding-heart, lily-liberal, yoghurt-knitting peacenik.

LOL well first of all i was going to say why am i prat, ok i gave the wrong surname, i appoligize to any phil youngs out there, but if anyone happened to go on utube they would not find what they were looking for about this subject, but im sure there is nicer ways to say someone has made a typing error! also why dont you also phone up radio2 to correct them on the name too, as that is where i got the name phil young, as you will have noticed i did say thanks for the link to the story after i typed what was said on the radio.

Very true. And how the warmongers have always utilized this fact.

The kid is being made an example of to keep pro-war interests happy.

Clean the memorial and spend some time with some war veterans - then he will feel ashamed of himself for his lack of respect for these men who risked so much and lived through so much. He wont simply be ashamed of being seen cleaning up.
