Riot sentences 'too severe'

Some England riot sentences ‘too severe’

MPs and justice campaigners say some of the sentences given to those involved in the riots in England are too harsh.

On Tuesday two men were jailed for four years for using Facebook to incite riots and another was given 18 months for having a stolen TV in his car.

Do you think the sentences are too harsh?

I do think the justice system and government have to show that there are consequences to peoples actions. These people knew what they were doing, they were not forced into doing it, but they did it anyway.
