I can not believe how ridiculous this story is. A poor woman was fined 1000 pounds and got tagged for selling a goldfish to a 14 year old boy.
How on earth does she deserve to be treated like that? This ordeal has actually cost US the taxpayer (well not me as im a student haha) 20,000 pounds. Not only that in the Daily Mail they outline a large number of people who have commited worse crimes but had to do less!
for example,
A heroin dealer was busted and only served a 12 month community service punishment,
AND
A man beat a dog to death with a hammer and was only tagged for four months with NO fine.
How on earth does this justice weigh up at all? It was revealed that the boy was a sting (set up by the police)... shouldn't they really be using the boy for things like busting drug dealers outside schools... if its even ETHICAL to use a 14 year old in the first place. Add to that, this boy was 6ft tall and a few days short of his 15th birthday, and its only in the last four years that this has become illegal as before they were given away as prizes at fairs!
Rant over.
