Samuel Paty: French court sentences eight for involvement in beheading • FRANCE 24 English

[@baimjohnson]

The act of beheading indicates that those involved in the act are still living in the 7th century

[@houndofzoltan]

MOre than a decade? Should never get out.

[@lagershutz3527]

Disgusting outcome. 16 years it's a f joke.

[@lanouek]

One to 16 yrs for beheading a man over a cartoon. Outrageous

[@musgrave6886]

"mercy for the guilty is cruelty to the innocent"

[@loveisall5520]

Is that all that a human life is worth in France? Sixteen years? What barbarians.

[@Hanno300bc]

These are just pals of the perpetrator who supported the crime. The murderer was shot dead by police.

[@loveisall5520]

@@Hanno300bc I listened to the video, miss. Apparently you think 'pals' don't deserve responsibility shared for stealing someone's life. Betcha you'd think differently if it were one of your family murdered.

[@MySpace662]

they should have got life imprisonment.

[@tsimoi273]

16 years is extremely lenient but I bet they won't even serve the 16 years. France needs their judicial system reevaluated.

[@nathelondon3719]

What were the family members shouting? I’d love to know.

[@buddypvaz124]

I I thought about your sentences being somewhat lax. But the perpetrator had already been killed by the police. And these 16 year sentences for those who helped in the effort should be the minimum if they are true sentences. If they are given these sentences then they should have to serve every last day of them. Not be released in a few years when all of the publicity dies down.

And just like the Pelicott case, this shows that the EU countries NEED to remove balls from purse and reinstate the "final destination" sentence

[@veramae4098]

What?

[@MC-zr6gc]

@veramae4098 the penalty that if I name it, youtube would accuse me of bullying these guys. It's the sentence that ... there's no return from.

[@andmos1001]

No

[@paulmayo2948]

No

[@editk7019]

Life in prison is a greater punishment

[@paulaterra7520]

This is a joke over the memory of this man.

[@manatee2500]

The police took care of business with the murderer.

[@NADANazor]

What happened to the young lady? Was there a sentence?

[@mallachsteve]

Are they going to be let out by Wednesday? France and Islamists - a love that runs deep.

[@AcademicFigureArt]

Everybody needs to keep a cool head about this, please!

[@kaylandry3142]

Accessory to murder & only gets 15 years? It sure looks like France does not hate grape or murder.
