Mighty Ireland Justice. I would say that all crimes should be treated like this, then I realized that this is basically "an eye for an eye" which doesn't work in all scenarios. Worked awesomely in this situation though.

I love judges who are actually interested in helping the people they deal with instead of just sentencing them and moving on.
This works for me.
And despite what seems to be a popular belief, I'm pretty sure judges in America can do similar things to this. It really just depends on the court, the judge, and the crime. It's probably happens every so often in juvenile court (which is where I assume this is taking place). I'm pretty sure I've heard of judges implementing similar punishments to people in the states. Though they are few and far between. Like I imagine this kind of thing is in Ireland, too. Which is why it would be news worthy.

People need to stop with this 'It sets a bad precedent' crap. It's in EVERY SINGLE NEWS THREAD. Metaphorically smacking some jerk upside the head because he's being an asshole isn't going to lead to some Orwellian nightmare future where nobody has any rights. Jeezus.Not G. Ivingname said:

but this is completely legal, because bail is freedom with bonds (usually money) as security that the defendant will return for trial. plus, he gets punished when he's on bail.

Fair and just if you ask me. Though I don't see what is stopping him from buying another. He gets what he deserves, and there are thousands of ways to phrase that, but it's all the same. It would have been nice to see a video of him crying. (because for some sick, twisted reason I get pleasure from seeing children cry. Mostly when it's karma.)
Wow, that's an interesting idea.
The thing that worries me is decisions like this can lead to more punishing and "crippling" ones. I mean, in this case, it strikes me as borderline brilliant. It's just the future of "creative" decisions that always bugs me.

I support the 13 year old fella, robberies or just being a pure scum in society is fun. He can easily steal a new one so I think he got a way really smooth.
That was right for the judge to do, however I think Partisan has a point, the kid may just steal another one. Which is possible to happen since he appears to be ignorant/foolish and might not learn his lesson so quickly.
Actually, this should be done to everyone on this planet. That would solve a lot of problems.Khinjarsi said:
