Too right. I got attacked by someone armed with an axe recently (and a proper attempt, not just a wave it about it bit effort). It went all the way to court, he got found guilty and *drum roll* got 9 months. Thats with an already bad record for crimes of violence.

He'll be out by June.

And from Coppersblog today we have this piece of Judicial lunacy.
