I would advise against walking up to someone with a knife. lucky she didn’t get shot.
She did the job the government failed to do. That said, she did wrong.
She was NOT “protecting her children”.
Sarah Sands is more than welcome to move in to my neighborhood. Hell, I would even co-sign for the house next door.
Yes, this was a horrid, despicable man. No, she was not justified in stabbing him to death just because of her understandable revulsion. On the day the final encounter is described, this man did nothing to put her or her children in inimate danger.
Yes, he lived next door, which was frightening and disgusting. No, she cannot walk about knifing every person who frightens and disgusts her. Nobody can. If she were a male single parent, or if she had not been a sweet faced young lady with a good complexion, I guarantee she would have been dealt with more harshly.
That said, this man should have been either executed or imprisoned for life many years ago.
...she was handed just three years for manslaughter. She could be out in less than 11 months.
They should have given the prosecutor and parole agent 25 each years .
They need more of her ilk in Rotherham!
Just doing the job the justice system refused to do.
3 1/2 years is a bit harsh in my book. I would have let her out on bail and then set the trial for January 2115.
Happy story from a Michigan prison in February. Be sure to check out the video.

Granted he should be under a jail, and it`s a screaming admission of the failure of the justice system where she resides, BUT, SHE`S not judge, jury and executioner. So it`s vigilantism and she needs to be punished.
How much, and/or what that punishment should be is debatable, but while they`re at it, the judge who released this animal needs to go to jail as well.

Just thought I’d add this story to the mix. Ellie Nesler was hailed as a heroine for killing her son’s molester. IIRC, he smirked at her as she went up to testify at his preliminary hearing and she snapped. She pulled out a gun ans shot him. This article has a lot of details that were not apparent at the time she killed. Sad, messy story, but I remember the t-shirts that said ‘nice shootin’, Ellie!’.

Next week is less than 11 months.
If as she says, she just wanted to talk and the ped didn't. She could have just walked away if she didn't have the knife with her? But the smirk was the straw that pushed her to act.
I'm glad the perv is dead. But she should be doing more time than 3 years (18months?).

In a FUNCTIONAL SOCIETY no person would have to put up with having perverts living next store, when they have kids. The perverts would be sent to a place where they were SEPARATED from kids.
...but then this is England.
What happens when someone who’s falsely accused gets murdered?
