A Hartlepool man is facing jail after he urinated on a disabled woman who lay dying in the street.
The 27-year-old shouted "this is YouTube material" as he degraded Christine Lakinski, 50, who had fallen ill, magistrates heard. - i know he got jailed for 3 years but can that be enough?

Vile though this man and his actions are, no one can seriously suggest the death penalty is appropriate.
Is this a worse crime than a murder, a rape, an assault which actually causes injury to someone who can feel the pain caused?
What about those who stood by and watched and encouraged him? Are they not just as guilty?
Perhaps we should be grateful that instances of behaviour as grotesque as this are so rare that they still make front page news in this country.
Can you see this man ever being able to gain employment again - his name and face are now well known. His punishment will last a lot longer than 3 years.
I do worry when people like John (above) tell us that the 'boys in jail will sort him out'. These are people similar to Anthony Anderson - thieves, men of violence, scum and I struggle to see where their 'moral superiority' comes from. The prisons aren't full of Robin Hoods dispensing harsh but fair justice.

No, three years is not enough for that sort of crime, he could have found something more suitable to put on youtube. Instead he degraded a helpless woman and himself, he should be sent to a poor country and be made to help the poor and starving people, then he can see how funny he thinks it is to live the way those people have to.

I think this guy is in big trouble, When the prisoners in the jail he is going into find out why he is there. I can see him going for a swim in boiling water before long. Guy's in prison don't tolerate people who have stepped over the line regards women or children. Wouldn't want to be him for an MP's Salary.

It is difficult to see how even a long jail sentence is going to deal with the problem of this man. He is clearly suffering from a personality disorder and if it cannot be treated the public should be protected from him. Unfortunately he is clearly not criminally insane as for this you must not be able to understand that your actions are wrong or you don't know what you are doing and he clearly did

We as a society cannot hand out the death penalty for crimes such as this because it doesn't help anything. That the man chose to urinate on someone so he could create "YouTube material," says that our society as a whole has a problem feeling compassion and empathy toward others. If we kill him than we need to kill those responsible for teaching him that this kind of behavior has a place in society. Not to mention those that would watch and enjoy something like this.

I don't feel that this is a capital punishment offense. But...what a horrible act to commit on a disabled or any person! I think caning or whipping is in order or placing the guy in stocks and letting people throw garbage, feces and urine on him. There is a special place in hell for people like this and I hope he burns for eternity!

Its beyond comprehension, and difficult to put a time on it. I just hope somebody degrades him in such away that it will always be with him. When I say degrades I mean makes him there *****.

Well, I don't think he should get killed for it, if that's what you're asking. Although if that was my Mom laying there, well.....
But 3 years, I'm not sure, will he learn from that or just come out a bigger idiot than when he entered?
