Bring back capital punishment. Or some sort of actual sentence for these sorts of crimes:

That's as good as murder in my book, and the description of it makes it seem like the three teens who did it will never serve a purpose in society and should be "removed", be it being sent to prison for life or just delivering the inevitable to them a few years early.
"Their response, after being joined by another lad, was to launch an attack which culminated in Christopher's head being kicked over and over again - 32 times, in fact - until his brain was, to all intents and purposes, destroyed.
Today, nearly six years on, and nearing 50, Christopher is little more than a human vegetable, cared for in a nursing home - just another victim of a horrifying, mindless drunken attack. "
"Just over a week ago, Gareth Avery was kicked and left for dead after politely asking a young passer-by to stop urinating in his garden, and last month three teenagers were found guilty of murder after punching and kicking to death father-of-three Garry Newlove when he had remonstrated with them over the vandalism of cars in his road. "
"And what of his teenage attackers - does the severity of their punishment go some way to alleviate the tragedy of the family they so clinically destroyed? In fact, the Mail has learned, one of the three, Paul Ashman, is already out of jail. He was freed last year, after serving a little more than half of the original seven-year sentence he was given for grievous bodily harm with intent. The other two attackers, Chad Patterson and Kevin Wakeling, also 18 at the time of sentencing, are likely to be paroled from jail within the next two years."
That last quote just fucking gets to me. These people commit a savage act of first degree murder, and one of them GETS OUT OF FUCKING JAIL?! The shit these kids do is what you'd expect to hear from a warzone like Iraq, not a fucking civilized country like the UK.
Get your shit together people. The occurrence of these crimes makes me wonder if your government even cares about enforcing the law.
