Despite covering his face with a bandana, officers combed through hours of CCTV footage and spotted Burls, of Peckham, because of his distinctive crossed eyes.

The 23-year-old originally denied the offence, but was jailed for a total of eight years at Inner London Crown Court today after pleading guilty on January 30 to two counts of arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered, and one of burglary with intent to steal at Iceland in Rye Lane, a court official confirmed.

  • If he had voluntarily got one of those dumbass forehead tattoos that says “F**K THE COPS” or something, fine. He'd have asked for it. Yeah, he got caught and thats fair. Maybe he should've worn shades, if he hoped to escape justice… but he could just as easily have been caught if he had piercing blue eyes or some other distinctive feature, and nobody would ever hear about something that mundane. Saying “it's okay to laugh because he did something bad” is not that different from saying “it's okay to laugh because he looks different”.

  • Wonder why this kid is so p-ssed off at the world? What he did was wrong and NO, I don't think that makes it okay to laugh at him.
