      Yay so glad they’ve been caught stupid little gits. They were lucky they weren’t facing some serious charges

      They’ll get a youth rehabilitation order and have to do some community based activity, which they’ll probably TikTok. So no real punishment at all.

      If they do it a few more times, they’ll be in real trouble – oooh maybe even a suspended sentence. scary!

      so exactly what is Snapchat, is it like Reddit or Facebook or Tiktok or Whatsapp or Telegram?

      Just a couple of aspiring architects testing out the impact strength of the flooring. They are good boys, really.

      Make an example. Understand if that stall had hit someone the life changing consequences. Understand the viral monetisation of these acts on social.

      This case is of very significant public interest given what the MP says, that Stratford is one of the busiest parts of London and that this occurred in Europe’s largest shopping centre.

      Therefore, they should be tried as adults and the matter should be tried in open court. Everyone who lives in and visits Stratford must feel safe in the knowledge that they can observe trials of public interest.

      It is in the public interest that the authorities clamp down on lawlessness.

      They need to be charged with attempted murder. Clearly premeditated and not sure what else they were doing if the intention wasn’t to hit someone?

      The police tweet says they were arrested for “criminal damage”. They really are a joke.

      Needs to be attempted murder.

      Good they got them at least. Guess it’s easy when you record and upload your crimes

      We need to install proper punishments as a preventative measure and to ensure laws are actually upheld.

      Too many people believe they can get away with anything because they simply receive a slap on the wrist like these two “boys”
