Re: Madeley in warning to Twitter trolls over rape threats

I was reading about that in the paper today. These trolls are total hypocrits.
The have a go at her for saying one thing about rape, but then say something much worse themselves on the same subject.

Oh yeah, two years for a rape threat, say, when actual rapists don't get sentenced to that length of time, never mind serve it :roll:

Stop reading the Daily Mail. Ten seconds with Google can dismiss that fantasy.


	Quote: The average custodial sentence length (ACSL) for those offenders convicted of rape in 2011 was in excess of eight and a half years, an increase of nearly 21 months since 2005

Well, as recent news suggests, they can get sentenced to about twice that and serve almost exactly that. So apparently the threat and the act are now interchangeable.

You have to wonder how long he'd have gotten without all the links to Nazism.
