A 12-year-old is prosecuted for GBH for
accidentally injuring a classmate by winging a piece of paper at him.
A 14-year-old fires his air rifle and hits
a girl in the eye from just a few feet away. “He was too young to understand the implications of his actions.”
(CPS statement explaining why they wouldn’t bring charges.)
However, any mitigation for such a serious and deliberate offence should be put to the courts by the defence - not the Crown Prosecution Service.
Is the CPS is now acting as Defence, Prosecution,and Judge and Jury?
It’s time to return the powers of charging
back to the police.
A few years ago the system, whereby the
police decided whether or not to charge the alleged perpetrator with committing
a criminal offence, was changed following the squeals of the feminist lobby
over the number of prosecutions for rape and other cases being thrown out of
court through lack of evidence.
In future, it was decided, the evidence for all alleged crimes would be assessed by a CPS lawyer. This, it was argued,
would cut the number of cases being dismissed by the courts, and save money,
though the cost of employing lawyers fulltime at every police station in the
land has never been revealed.
Today the CPS, government employees, pick and choose who to prosecute or not, equality under the law no longer applies. And the decision not to prosecute a case is not always based on lack of evidence, but because of PC and political considerations. (They have no more wish to antagonise their
employers, the government, and jeopardise their career prospects, than anyone else.)
They have to be arm twisted to prosecute a black person for racist behaviour, yet when someone criticized his local
authorities reluctance to get tough with an itinerate’s illegal caravan site,
he is being prosecuted for using the word itinerate. “He is allowed to complain about caravan dwellers, but not discriminate
by using the word itinerate.”
This type of stupidity is designed to make complaining about any group of people ‘unlawful’, even though it is not. It is pure intimidation from the government. Everyone living near an
unlawful, yet state protected itinerant’s caravan site, knows the problems they can cause. No, not all of them, nor even the majority, just the dreaded minority.
But aren't all minorities, including druggies, burglars, and thieves now a
protected species, according to these lunatics at the Home Office and the CPS?
It's time to take these fools back to their asylums.
