(More) utter insanity

Good see that many people are prepared to support Paul Chambers in appealing his conviction.

But what's really scary is the number of 'Comment is Free' commenters who think he got what he deserved. For example:

"If you can't do the time. Don't do the crime!

What are we supposed to do with bomb threat hoaxers. Keep writing though so that others get the message. Threatening to blow up airports even if you think it was amusing just isn't funny."

Which just goes to show that some people will support the CJS system no matter how daft are the decisions it takes. 'Over-legitimisation', you might call it - a willingness to support an authority even when it makes crazy decisions. Although strictly speaking, it's legitimacy pure and simple: acceptence of decisions irrespective of their substantive content.
