A university student who was photographed urinating over a war memorial was warned on Wednesday that he could be jailed for the "disgusting act."
Philip Laing, 19, was charged by police after the picture, which showed him urinating on a poppy wreath following a drinking session in the center of Sheffield, appeared on a national newspaper's website.
"The image of your urinating over the poppy wreath on the war memorial in this city will make most turn away in disgust, shock and sadness," said District Judge Anthony Browne.
"It has undoubtedly distressed and upset many. The war memorial is a sacred and a special place."
Laing, who appeared in the dock wearing a poppy, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency when he appeared at Sheffield Magistrates' Court.
Browne adjourned sentencing for reports, saying all options including custody, were open, the Press Association reported.

I say yank this student's financial aid and make him enlist for a couple of years. Teach him to not disrespect veterans.

This is one that should have been handled when it occurred. By a good arse-kicking by some pissed off vets!

I'm not a vet, but still would have beat this slime ball had I witnessed it.

I've been that drunk before. Man the next day was a bit embarrassing. I don't think even drunken me is dumb enough to pee on a war memorial though. I'd have to kick my own ###.
