how does that work ?....

.... so this toe rag.....yes this one.....

Is name is Andrew Partington, who by all accounts is a violent man, had a ruck with the woman he lived with......so what did this toe rag do ?...... well he took a saw and cut through the gas pipes in his house, so the gas leaked over night.......then the next morning, in the full knowledge of what he had done and what he was about to do, he lit a cigarette........ and at that point the obvious happened......

BOOM !

But this is what I don't get, because at the point of boom, this toe rag Andrew Partington didn't die, and yet as a direct result of the blast, 2yr old Jamie Heaton died. All that happened to Partington was 40 degree burns and a broken back......

How the hell did he live, and Jamie Heaton die...... how does that work ?

And so it is, this toe rag Partington is sentenced to prison for 10 years, which means what ? 5 years probably ? so in 5 years time this toe rag will back out on the streets and yet in 5 years time the parents of Jamie Heaton, will be left the pain of not seeing their son reach his 7th birthday [9th Feb].

If I'm honest, as Partington survived the gas blast, I think we might need some more rope !

On top of the death of Jamie Heaton, as if that is not bad enough in it's own right, there is also the significant property damage causing it's own form of devastation to those other families living in the destroyed houses. The court said he was reckless...... I think it went way beyond that.....

This is not a day for SoD, this is a day for shaking your head at the screen in utter dismay......
