Why make sense when you can release the dangerous people and imprison the folks that should be given community orders… I mean, there’s a Paedophile in London that got 2 years 4 months for his crimes… Only 4 months in prison longer than bottle thrower there and he’s got hundreds, thousands of victims.

I assume they will be. I think he might have an extensive record. Otherwise it might be because he was front and centre in the mob apparently.
