An Oswaldtwistle teenager escaped jail after shooting someone, when his defence that he did not intend to cause harm, was accepted.
Hello?
I thought that was the whole point of pointing a gun at someone, aiming, then pulling the trigger.
The teenager is reported as being a 'leading member of Oswaldtwistle Youth and Community Centre'.
Well yippy do, if he's a leading member of the group I wouldn't like to meet the rest.
As long as anti-social crimes like this don't result in custodial sentences, and only merit a slap on the wrist and a bit of a fine, which will probably be payed off at a pound a week if he's unemployed or until the courts get tired of chasing it and give up, then these young people will carry on doing what the hell they want to.
