The unnamed victim, who was visiting Britain with his family, fell 100 feet after he was targeted by Bravery and was found on a fifth-floor roof. His mother was heard by witnesses screaming: “Where’s my son? Where’s my son?” “You had intended to kill someone that day. You almost killed that 6-year-old boy,” she told Bravery.

The teenager, who has autistic spectrum disorder and a personality disorder, was being held at the high security Broadmoor Hospital but the judge at London’s Old Bailey court decided he should be jailed for a minimum of 15 years.“You may never be released,” she said.

This is amazing, not taking away the little boys family pain. My relative got murdered on the london streets and the killer got a mere 8yrs. Out in 4. Who writes theses rules. Murderers get less time in jail than other crimes

I cant imagine the suffering of those poor parents and their son. There is no penalty that can serve justice.15 years is as close as you can get . As a parent, the only justice for me would have been to kill or seriously hurt this poor excuse of a human

Uh...that teen’s not wired right. If he doesn’t understand the value of a life over the reward of appearing on television, he is a public menace. No pity.

So sad 😭

Usual British terrorism

Come on he was just French!

For everyone complaining that 15 years isn't long enough, it's 7 years more than the average sentence for rape

Only 15?

He was mentally ill which is 'some' (very small) mitigation but more importantly he told his carers that he was going to do this (throw someone off a public building) before carrying it out. Should never have happened for many reasons...

that's all?

poll Time fit the crime?

Should have got 115 years

Only 15?

Sounds like a serious architectural flaw - how can a public space have such a glaring security issue?

Why is it, that you always write without using punctuation marks?

You don't read the content of the news? It says that he might never be freed. Don't be like fast-food just look at the pic. It only makes you fat and stupid.

The teenager should have been thrown in jail for good.

should be life

Should be jailed for life, plus 100 years.

10 years from now, he will be a CEO.

Performance art really has gone too far these days... 😩

15 years is less.. lucky him

That's all? He should have been thrown off that exact roof. Justice is failing everyone

Lindsey Graham Has Bizarre Meltdown Over the French Revolution, Alexandria Ocasio-CortezSouth Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is no stranger to dramatics, but he really cranked the dial to maximum goofy late Wednesday morning in a Twitter thread about the previous night’s election results. It was a big win for lefty Democrats: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-backed congressional candidates like Jamaal Bowman and Mondaire Jones won big in New York, and Medicare-for-all/Green New Deal/free college/Bernie-Sanders-endorsing Democratic Senate candidate Charles Booker is in a tight primary race in Kentucky. Any shift left is a horrifying prospect for conservative Republicans like Graham, and he made his anxiety known on main with some French Revolution references to boot.
