London, UK - Judge Said For Swastika Vandals: I Would Love To Jail You Longer

London, UK - A judge was angry with the law because he could only jail two swastika-spraying vandals for three months.

District Judge David Cooper spoke out after hearing how Paul Lewis and Richard Speak went on a rampage plastering the Nazi emblem over cars, shops, a house and an ambulance. The wrecking spree in their seaside town cost £5,000.
Sentencing them, Judge Cooper said: "Amazingly my powers of punishment are limited to a total of three months for everything... I can do nothing about it.
"I imagine the people of West Mersea will say 'the law is an ass', and in this case, I agree in many ways. I think you should be locked up for a very long time."
Judge Cooper, dubbed Custody Cooper by worried defendants in Colchester, Essex, added: said: "People woke to find swastikas and obscenities written and scratched on their cars. It must have caused great distress."
Speak, 20, admitted 33 charges of causing criminal damage and Lewis, 21, nine. Both are from West Mersea.
