Sophie Lancaster - Youths appeal

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Apologies that should've read "scum appeal" anyway the scum that pass as members of our society have appealed against their sentences, I do hope that whoever listens to their appeal decides that the sentences passed were too lenient and increases them, unlikely but we can but hope.

Good on the judge for describing it as a 'hate crime'. I hope they get their sentences increased too.

Yep, let's hope that whoever hears the appeal increases the sentence!

Really couldn't give a flying one about this particular case, it's mindless violence no matter whom it's aimed at. It's usually the elderly, infirm or those with a different skin or scarf colour that feel the brunt. The only reason this case is so high profile is this here internet and it's 'club' culture.

Whilst I think it's dreadfull that a young life was taken by some miscreant youth, I do take a dim view of the way it has become a cause celebe.

It's kinda cool to add your e-sympathies, that way your peers can see how much you really care.

I have very mixed feelings about the whole Sophie campaign and way it's being handled. Despite my doubts about the productivity of such high profile media campaigns (like the McCann one), I signed the petition because I feel very strongly about mindless intolerance full stop. I have on a couple of occasions narrowly escaped violent situations purely for being judged 'different' and therefore fair game for similarly stupid and uncaring people as those who killed Sophie. However, all the legislation in the world isn't going to stop this s**t from happening and may just serve to make angry people even angrier. The handful of 'clown faced loser' remarks among all the genuine signatures on that petition shows just how much contempt some people have for something they don't personally identify with and can't be bothered going through the thought process required to decide to live and let live.
