The judge is an idiot for letting him go so easily
Convicted armed robber Adelso Saws skipped out of court with a suspended sentence despite being found guilty of threatening the terrified Army cadet ahead of Remembrance Sunday last year.
It is the second time in three months that thugs who have threatened young Army cadets have escaped jail terms.
In February, unemployed Romanian Marius Dura, 26, was handed a six-week suspended sentence despite admitting telling two girl cadets he was going to “chop their heads off”.
News of the latest slap-on-the-wrist punishment prompted anger yesterday.
Gerard Batten of Ukip said: “This sentence is far too lenient for someone with such a serious previous conviction.
“His 12-year-old victim was supporting our magnificent Armed Forces and represents the decent people of this country who should be allowed to go about their business without these hideous kinds of threats.
“This man should have been made an example of and given a stiff jail sentence.”
Details of the “disturbing and frightening” incident were spelled out during a one-day trial at North East Derbyshire and Dales Magistrates Court this week.
Saws, 34, from Kilburn in Derbyshire, spotted two Army cadets selling poppies outside a supermarket in nearby Belper on October 25 last year.
