I thought that it's quite a succinct article. At the end of the article you can log in and make a comment. Personally, I haven't made any comments. Preston Blog's article about this only came to my attention today. I found the 'bat out of hell' comment particularly amusing.
Overall, I think it's a really good result. I haven't been awarded any compensation by the court, however I may chase this up. I had been left emotionally traumatised by the incident, though I'm pretty much over the bruises and scrapes - I will be indulging in purchasing a new pair of leggings. Though I might consider setting a trend wearing them as they are - holes on both of my knees ... . Might catch on, look quite fetching ... . If not, give some fellas a thrill ... . I will be looking to replace my music stand at some point. Until then, I will make do with it's Leaning Tower of Pisa appearance ... .
Fair enough, if someone hasn't got the means maybe they cannot pay for the damage caused. Yes, it's minimal, but how about they be ordered to do community service so they can afford to pay for the damage? It might even help turn their life around. Maybe the system is too bound up with codes of practice, but it's just a thought.

[Incidently, the second link in this article, by the LEP, when they printed it, they said that the offender had got granted unconditional bail. That caused me anxiety at the time because the Police had told me that she had been sent to prison until the court hearing. I asked the Police to check for me and it became apparent that what the LEP had printed was incorrect, that she was in prison.]
