That’s really fucking scary there are people who will assault and kill someone for *brushing past them* on public transport, seeing as that happens all the time given how busy it gets. I get its manslaughter here but it still seems like this prick needs more time inside, someone with a temper like that is a danger to the public

So unbelievably awful. I hope the creature who did this has a “fun” time in prison.

Rakeem Miles needs to brush past someone like himself when he finishes that sentence.
High-Tom-Titty on
There’s a serious lack of community leaders calling for justice, and demanding he serves 15 years.

What a pathetic waste of skin Rakeem Miles is. I trust his family are very proud?

Isn’t there some sort of system for unduly lenient sentences??
Ajax_Trees_Again on
This country despises normal people. Six years for killing somone for no reason is genuinely making my blood boil

Surely one for for the Lenient Sentence Review Scheme.

Honestly crazy. Killed for brushing past someone. So sad

And they wonder why people are so disillusioned in the UK right now. What is the point in anything now when thugs get cushy sentences for killing you for brushing past them.

Poor lad, I wonder who did this… *checks article* why am I not surprised?

But say something edgy on Facebook and get 4 years. Pathetic.

I was there five minutes after it happened (had just come off a train and by that point they’d closed the ststion but our train erroneously stopped at the station to let us off) and I assumed at the time that someone had just had some kind of medical incident. Really horrible to read.

A gentle and valuable life snuffed out by someone leading an absolutely worthless one. Should be doing 20 years.

We really need a root-and-branch reform of the legal system, as well as an end to automatic release. If you get 8 years, you should serve 8 years.

The sentence is missing a 0 on the end. So he will be out around his 30th birthday and clearly isn’t safe to the public?
Late-Development-666 on
Pled not guilty, showed no remorse. I thought you got time bumped on for that type of behaviour.
Makes you wonder what the sentence would have been for a guilty plea and fake remorse.

Revenue fraud could get you 14 years. So I think its clear what the laws priorities are.
Material_Angle2922 on
Our society is getting scarier and dangerous because of those incompetent judges. The correction facility is absolutely toothless. After getting released, wash rinse and repeat.

I’m sure this’ll get me flagged but let’s say hypothetically I kill a politician, will I do just six years? I reckon I’ve got about thirty years left in me. I could get a few done six years a pop.

„Winter got off the train and walked up the escalator, brushing past Miles on his way past.
As he headed through the barrier Miles followed behind him yelling abuse.
Miles caught up, grabbing Mr Winter from behind, ripping his top in two as he pulled the shocked commuter to face him.
He then punched Mr Winter once in the head before leaving him collapsed on the stairs.“
In case anyone was unsure, this is a clear intent to murder.
Whitechix on
Men being by far the most victims of homicide yet there is never any government strategy that acknowledges or addresses this, the narrative is so backwards. Poor guy was just going about his day before someone took his life, it’s just so relatable thinking about the many times someone just gets randomly violent against you and how this could have happened to me.

“I hope today’s sentencing allows his family some small measure of comfort” what an absolutely patronising comment from the investigating officer, who will know full well that this sentence is nowhere near enough to offer any kind of comfort.
Intelligent_Goat205 on
The fact that in this country you get more jailtime for mean Internet comments then murder is absurd.
hoarmey on
I think that there have been enough people who die after just 1 punch (I come from a small town and there have been a few in recent years) that it should be accepted by anyone that if you punch someone in the head there is a very good possibility that they will die.
If you stab someone or shoot someone, there is a reasonable expectation that you are about to end a life.
It should be the same for a punch and as such the punishment should be the same as assault with a deadly weapon.
I very much doubt that society would lose out if such people are locked away for life except for the cost of keeping them in prison.
NepsHasSillyOpinions on
Terrifying that these people walk among us. Imagine being killed with a singular punch to the face because you brushed past somebody in a crowded underground station? Where you would FULLY EXPECT to brush by people given how busy it is…
Shit like this makes me glad I’m basically a recluse. And 6 years is a joke.
androlyn on
Hate to say this but when as soon as I read the headline I knew what his mugshot would look like. The most surprising element to this story is“British Transport Police officers traced Miles through the use of his Oyster card“.
I’m genuinely not trying to stir the pot here but living in London for almost a decade I notice certain trends, and it really concerns me. For the record my family is mixed race.
EmperorOfMankind4 on
Clicked on the link and saw that the killer is black. The court should have just set him free to help fight systemic racism and white supremacy since the black population is already overrepresented in prisons.

Another Daily Fail moment, the headline is a blatant lie. From the article:
„But he will serve less than five-and-a-half years in prison before he will be eligible for parole“
So he isn’t serving less than 6 years, he *could* serve less than six if he is granted parole.
toptiershowlol on
6 years for taking a life, meanwhile, the five individuals who hosted an illegal premier league streaming service got over 10 years, absolute disgrace
ash_ninetyone on
Six years will seem lenient because of the outcome of the actions here. But the judicial system sentences based on guidelines of the crime they’re convicted on.
The guy was found guilty of manslaughter. That’s what he’s sentenced from.
To find him guilty of murder, they’d have had to prove intent to kill, or intent to cause such grevious bodily harm, and that wasn’t going to be possible from this.
If they tried him for murder, without having enough evidence to prove intent, he’d have been acquitted, or a jury would’ve rejected murder but found him guilty of manslaughter instead, if the guy had being able to prove partial defence in court (i.e. loss of control).
Which obviously sucks for the family and the victim, because no sentence can undo a loss of life, or erase that pain.
But it’s how the legal system is built.
