Sensible?

Hot on the heels of supporting the outright murder of taggers, the Sensible Sentencing Trust is now supporting the attempted murder of burglars:

"Garth Gadsby was protecting his community from low-life scum who were burgling and trashing houses, these thieves know that even if they were caught they would get a smack on the hand."
So obviously, they should be shot out of hand. This is what the SST calls a "sensible" sentence.

It ought to be clear to everyone by now: the "Sensible" Sentencing Trust aren't supporting law and order - they're actively promoting vigilantism and the lynch mob. Preventing that and the inevitable injustice and cycle of revenge that results is the very reason we have a justice system in the first place.
