"Armed with a metal rod and a brick, they punched, kicked and attacked Mr Smith, leaving him unconscious and covered in blood on the pavement"

"Mr Smith suffered multiple injuries, including lacerations and bruising all over his body, has a permanent 12cm long deep scar across his left cheek, and how the whole of the facial part of his skull was broken"

"doing it for the sake of Allah."

"His injuries have left him unable to be the active and healthy man he once was and he has had to give up his passion for martial arts.

He suffers from depression and anxiety and 'is unable to enjoy life and lives in constant fear of being attacked again'"

Why isn't the punishment for 'attempted' murder the same as murder, if the intent is th e same.. it's just as bad.

Where did you get the attempt murder bit from? Granted, I've only scanned the article, but surely if they'd wanted to murder the guy, they could have.

What is "attempted murder"? How is that even a crime? Do they give a Nobel Prize for attempted chemistry?

It's usually around12-15 years, but can be up to life imprisonment. Looking at the circumstances for this attack (didn't confess, pre-meditated, left him for dead, no remorse) it's a ridiculous sentence. When will the UK ever learn?

Not sure whether you are either referencing or plagiarising The Simpsons but I don't really care.

This was GBH with intent, not attempt murder. It's a fairly typical sentence.

Slap on the wrist. They should have been charged with a hate crime, assault + battery, assault with a deadly weapon and the guy should sue for damages. This is definitely not something that should receive lenient sentencing. It can only encourage others to do the same thing when it carries such a light sentence. Extremists give up their lives for less.

It's kind of sad that hate crimes over here are based on the victim's religious or racial persuasion, not the aggressor's. I'm guessing it's different in US and Canada? The other two are equivalent to the British charge of GBH, which is what the guys were convicted with. I'm sure there was also compensation for the victim's injuries and distress, though the Mail, unsurprisingly chooses not to mention anything about that.

Saying you want to murder someone does not constitute attempt murder. You would be flying in the face of very basic legal definitions to believe otherwise.

Selective reading? They got a MINIMUM of five years. So that's five years if they go to jail with exceptionally good behavior and adequately state their case to the parole board after five years that they should be released. The parole board could easily decide no, you deserve to be in jail longer. When they do get out they're both also on four/five years license, so overall they'll be paying for this at least ten years which seems adequate to me.

Are you still trying to use the UK law, the same law that has pissed on the on the rights of the victims for years, as the definition to what constitutes as attempted murder? Use common sense and this is clearly attempted murder. In fact I couldn't find a better example if I tried.

Attempted murder. It's a simple definition. Understand it please.

Saying you want to kill someone is not attempted murder. It's a very common expression used to denote intending to cause a person harm. If it were attempted murder there would be evidence of their intention to have him die from their attack. There was no such evidence seeing as they beat him and then ceased after a certain point so as NOT to kill him.

It's an indeterminate sentence with a minimum of five years, so yes, they will be out of jail in 5 years, providing they don't do anything really stupid while in jail. Mind you it really takes something special for a prisoner to not get released on license in the UK.

Can you give an example of the UK 'pissing on the rights of victims'? That's such a Daily Mail myth. The UK's incarceration rate is insane, comparable to the USA. We lock up more people than any other country in Europe.

Your distain for the law in the UK doesn't have any impact on what the law actually is.

There is a deffinition for attempted murder (i presume) and he prosecutor decided that this didn't met the deffinition. So it was tried for was it actually was.

Attempted murder. It's a simple definition. Understand it please.

Saying you want to kill someone is not attempted murder. It's a very common expression used to denote intending to cause a person harm. If it were attempted murder there would be evidence of their intention to have him die from their attack. There was no such evidence seeing as they beat him and then ceased after a certain point so as NOT to kill him.

Just to add to that - I had a look at The Telegraph quote he's referencing, and what he omitted was the sentence prefacing his quote:

"Akmol Hussein was heard setting out the plan to attack Mr Smith, head of religious education at Central Foundation Girls' School in Bow, east London, saying in a Bangladeshi dialect:"

So what we've actually got is the Telegraph's interpretation of a translation from a Bangladeshi dialect. I'm guessing they used the three verbs - 'hit, beat, kill' because the word used in Bangladeshi can conceivably carry all three connotations. But then again, what the hell do I know? I'm not a specialist on Bangladeshi, nor am I a UK legal specialist, and we've only got the few facts two notoriously biased right wing papers have chosen to print to chew on.

No they wont be out in five years, not necessarily. That is the MINIMUM length of time that they must serve before they can appeal to be let out. That appeal can be denied, and they don't have to have done anything wrong in prison for that to be so, it's frequently the case that the board will simply feel that they deserve longer time in prison for what they did. They're also to be released on license for 4/5 years. This sentence is easily within the standard for GBH.

[QUOTE="jimmyjammer69"]LOL, I bet you couldn't. I understand you hate Britain, and that's why you're venting spleen at me, but could you please change your misleading title.

*yawn* I bet you love this spineless country for it's civil rights obsession. I live in Britain and I am a Christian so no, I don't hate Britain. I do hate modern Britain though.

Great, so move somewhere that suits your ideals, as you'd probably demand all muslims do.

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"][QUOTE="CannedWorms"][QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]Selective reading? They got a MINIMUM of five years. So that's five years if they go to jail with exceptionally good behavior and adequately state their case to the parole board after five years that they should be released. The parole board could easily decide no, you deserve to be in jail longer. When they do get out they're both also on four/five years license, so overall they'll be paying for this at least ten years which seems adequate to me.

It's an indeterminate sentence with a minimum of five years, so yes, they will be out of jail in 5 years, providing they don't do anything really stupid while in jail. Mind you it really takes something special for a prisoner to not get released on license in the UK.

No they wont be out in five years, not necessarily. That is the MINIMUM length of time that they must serve before they can appeal to be let out. That appeal can be denied, and they don't have to have done anything wrong in prison for that to be so, it's frequently the case that the board will simply feel that they deserve longer time in prison for what they did. They're also to be released on license for 4/5 years. This sentence is easily within the standard for GBH.

If one of them serves longer than the minimum I'll eat my hat. "discussing killing Gary Smith" "'This is the dog we want to hit, to strike, to kill.' Armed with a metal rod and a brick, they punched, kicked and attacked Mr Smith, leaving him unconscious and covered in blood on the pavement" If you don't think this is attempted murder then I don't know what to say.

Oh don't worry I'm saving up the ££££ to do that. Hope the non-Muslim citizens have fun when their a minority.

poor guy, they should have served more in jail ..... but I bet there is more to this story, the teacher must have had said something absured about Islam which still doesn't justify what they did.

Anyone who looks at the demographic changes, i.e. births rate and immigration/emigration can easily see why. It will happen.

Even if they only DO serve five years, that's five years locked up in jail and then another four/five released on license. Their liberty is restricted for ten years in one way or another, and that's including a five year stint in prison. That's perfectly reasonable for a case of GBH and well within the usual sentences. I'm telling you it wasn't attempted murder because it's a fact, not an opinion. They beat him up and then STOPPED so as NOT to kill him. Had they beat him with the intent of killing him he would be dead, or they would have left him with injuries he would surely have died from. They did not. That is not attempted murder. You do not know better than the judge and jury. Even the prosecutor disagrees with you or they would have charged attempted murder, not GBH. And i imagine they have a better understanding of the facts of the incident than you do.

They talked about killing him and the injuries they caused could have killed him. Attempted murder in my eyes and most rational people I imagine.

Fortunate then that we allow the law to handle the bits that are opinion rather than having random people who admit to not caring about a justice code.

No, it isn't. How many times does it need to be said? They didn't talk about killing him. Had they talked in certain terms about intent to murder they'd be charged with conspiracy to commit murder. They didn't do that. They used the word 'kill', but the word is used colloquially ALL THE TIME when people are angry with others. It's a term used on a daily basis. "He cheated on my sister!? I'm gonna kill him!" ZOMG ATTEMPTED MURDER! No. They didn't attempt to murder him. They gave him a horrible beating, but they stopped way short of killing him. How do we know that? Because if there was any credible indication that they wanted him to die from the beating the prosecution would have slapped them with attempted murder. If you feel you know better than the prosecution who tried the damned case, go ahead and write them a letter of complaint.
