      >An “obsessed” boy who stabbed a girl multiple times with a 6in knife after she refused to date him has been handed a three-year restraining order.
      >
      >The boy, 14, briefly dated the girl, 14, before she ended the relationship. He then carried out a “horrifying” attack in a shop in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in March.
      >
      >The boy, from Wiltshire, admitted wounding with intent, inflicting grievous bodily harm and possession of a bladed article in a public place. He was also handed a one-year referral order at Gloucester Crown Court.

      That sentence sounds too lenient?

      Way too lenient. He needs to be put somewhere where he can’t hurt other little girls. He will end up killing someone. What the fuck.

      Obviously her instincts were wrong to reject him. He would have been a wonderful, kind, caring boyfriend if she had only given him the chance he wanted.

      They lied to us about the consequences of such crimes in the series Adolescence. Turns out the consequences are much lesser than we think.

      This is not normal teenage boy behaviour. He’s dangerous now and will no doubt grow up to be even more dangerous. What the hell…

      ‘Sentencing the boy, Judge Ian Lawrie told the court the stabbing was a “very troubling event” but he did not take the view that the offender was a “danger”.
      He said: “He’s still young. And he is capable of learning.”’

      Ah yes, the ineffable, hard to learn lesson of “don’t fucking stab people”… takes decades to learn… let’s roll it into our uni courses

      A restraining order because he’s not a danger when he very clearly tried to kill someone? Was the judge high?? Wtf

      Remember after Adolescence came out and the usual suspects came out arguing it was all made up and entirely fictional………

      Always interesting seeing these stories break into the wider area.

      Now just imagine how much work goes into prosecuting juveniles for running drugs lines, being habitual robbers, committing constant lower level violence, and what the outcomes are again and again.

      Remember it’s a choice to allow these prolific offenders to keep hurting people. And keep it in mind every time you hear some self described ‘expert’ bleating on about how we’re addicted to punishment.

      >”He’s still young. And he is capable of learning.”

      Yes and SHE’S STILL YOUNG. What exactly has she been taught by this? That the law doesn’t care about her safety in the slightest, and there is no hope for justice. Boys will be boys and they get away with violence and abuse. This violent POS needs locking up until he is deemed to no longer be a risk. Give him therapy and support, but lock him up until he is no risk! I am so sick of male violence being treated like it’s no big deal!

      Our youth are absolutely fucked. Everywhere you go they’re talking as if they’re gangsters. Throwing gangs signs, wearing balaclavas and chavvy tracksuits. No respect for anything. No interest or understanding of a wider society. Terrorising people for fun and social media.

      We always had that contingent but it seems like it’s approaching a majority. Even ones from wealthy backgrounds and nice areas.

      So in 3 years time he is free to go near her again and try and kill her then.

      Surely the restraining order should be for life.

    17. zephyroxyl on

      The end result of the alpha-bro/alt-right pipeline – allow bad actors to normalise violence and abuse, fill young boys heads with the idea that they are entitled to access to the lives and bodies of girls and women, and when they get rejected, they snap.

      Part of the solution is fully de-platforming people like Tate, Paul Joseph Watson, HSTikkyTokky, Myron Gaines, anyone else pushing this bullshit.

      You used to get banned from mainstream platforms for shit like that. Now you can even be an out-and-out Nazi, so long as you make Zuckerberg, Spez or Musk some money in the process.

      Needs to go to jail, not a fucking restraining order. What is wrong with this country’s law and order?

    19. TheSuiteLife2026 on

      Would have had a harsher sentence if he had just Tweeted he was going to stab her than actually stabbing her

    21. Down-Right-Mystical on

      “He’s still young and capable of learning,” said the judge.

      He could still ‘learn’ while suffering some actual punishment for his actions. Isn’t that what we’re meant to teach children? That actions have consequences?

      She has to live with this trauma that will take years to get past (if she ever does) and his ‘punishment’ is to be told to stay away from her? He’s not going to learn from that.

    23. Katietori on

      I don’t care if he’s ‘only’ 14. He’s dangerous. The sentence doesn’t come anywhere close to fitting the crime.

    24. steelcryo on

      Holy fucking shit this judge needs removing. A restraining order for repeatedly stabbing someone?

      No wonder women are fucking terrified.

    28. bookingsi on

      The judge said he’s still learning. He sure is. Learning that you can stab a girl in the neck for denying you and you don’t get a prison sentence!
