In any decent legal system the punishment dispensed by the court should fit with the severity of the crime. Custodial sentence length should reflect both the severity of the crime as punishment for the criminal and be as long as felt necessary to protect the public from offenders, violent ones especially.
However there has been a recent case of a particularly nasty pair of Islamic savages brought before the courts on a rape charge where the sentence is not nearly long enough. Aquib Ahmed and a 16 year old accomplice who cannot be named for legal reasons, burst into a house mistakenly thinking it was another criminals house and threatened the occupants, a man and his daughter, with a gun before leaving when they realised they had the wrong house. A few days later however these two Islamic savages returned to the home and raped the young woman repeatedly at gunpoint.
This is a truly disgusting and awful violent Islamic sex crime which has had a terrible effect on the victim and has sent her into a spiral of depression. This woman suffered an appalling ordeal at the hands of these savages and they both, even the juvenile savage, have done a significant term of imprisonment. This would have been justified not only to punish these savages for their actinos but to keep other innocent people safe from them. The headline sentence in this case 15 years for Ahmed and six years for the junior savage may look to the ordinary man on the Clapham Omnibus a reasonable sentence in reality this may not be the case.
With good behaviour Ahmed could be back on the streets and back being a danger to women in only about seven years and his junior savage accomplice might even be out in three years or so. The almost automatic fifty percent reduction in time to be served in many cases means that sentences of 10, 15 or 20 years can mean half of what the trial judge intended or what is required for both punishment of the criminal and the protection of the public.
Ahmed and his junior savage accomplice have not been adequately punished. It would have been better all round for Britons if the Ahmed and those like him were not on our islands but if that cannot be the case then we should at least expect that these appalling and violent savages are properly punished by the courts. This has not been the case here. The victim of this pair of worthless Islamic savages is going to serve a life sentence, her life has been ruined by them yet they will probably be out in seven and three years respectively free to get on with their lives and more than likely victimise other women. This is not justice, this is both injustice and utter folly to fail to adequately dispose of these two very dangerous Islamic sex criminals.
