I know what you mean.
One one hand they are utter twats for doing it and deserve to be punished, on the other a four year sentence seems a bit too hard. I'm guessing that the sentence will get reduced on appeal to about two years, then they will do about one year each but that will get reduced if they behave themselves.
I am still seriously convinced by my idea that they should have all the bones in their fingers smashed by a hammer.
There's a good debate about punishing the rioters V's punishing the naughty MP's on 5 Live right now.

I was thinking about the reduction on appeal then good behavior.
Whilst it's against human rights to force prisoners to work or train you could get rid of the
good behavior reduction and replace it with a scheme that you can earn time off your sentence
through study or work if you choose.
At the moment you can get your sentance halved by lying on your bunk and keeping your nose clean but
completely avoiding and rehabilitation.
