I wish we would still go old testament style on the assholes who commit murder. This way there is no appeal after 15 years 
Secondly, it's a bit sexist, misogynistic, and machismo to think that women can't be the defender.Aries_Split said:Guess that answers my question.Isilkor post=18.75367.865647 said:Aries_Split said:She was protecting her boyfriend...What kind of wimp was she dating?

Sounds like Britain needs some old school vigilantes.Cheshire Cat post=18.75367.865688 said:I look at the photos of the offenders and what I see is a bunch of chav's...
Chav's are becoming a serious problem in today's Britain due to the ridiculousness of the benefit system allowing them to just live off benefits and have free housing if they pop out a few children.
It's a known thing thing that chav's are intolerant of anything not chav, I regularly see them hanging around on street corners and in parks drinking their cheap cider and insulting, attacking or mugging everyone who passes that isn't like them...
I say it's about time the "justice" system stopped protecting the "human rights" of criminals and started literally throwing the book at them, bring back capital punishment or make use of these chav's stabby instincts by sending them into war zones.
I see that you mistook the situation. In which case your comment has a different meaning. While I agree that any of us would give our lives to protect a loved one it's still besides the point, the behaviour of criminals like this is simply unacceptable and the authorities are doing nothing to stop it!Aries_Split said:See, I hadn't known that. From the article I read, it sounded as if they were walking in a park together, and then attacked. In that sense, he should have told her to leave. I understand that's not what happened.beddo post=18.75367.865661 said:I find this comment particularly offensive, quite jarring, very inconsiderate and incredibly naive. The guy was attacked by three people chavs who undoubtedly got the jump on him.

This guy has to live with permament physical and emotional scars and you are calling him a wimp!? I am quite frankly disgusted, it is not this guys fault in any way whatsoever! It is the people who did it and the authorities for failing to prevent the whole incident.
That is a horrible lession to learn , I have, most of the UK have and in these times of human rights for monsters, PC gone mad and the general nanny state it is the only effective method of surviving and bringing justice to the pricks that have gotten a free ride.TheThanatos said:What did that teach me? Don?t bother with the police, ever. Ive taken the law into my own hands every time Ive needed to from that day.
I completely agree. Of course capital punishment will never make a return because of the human rights issue and the fact that it is well known that mistakes can be, and have been, made.Cheshire Cat said:I say it's about time the "justice" system stopped protecting the "human rights" of criminals and started literally throwing the book at them, bring back capital punishment or make use of these chav's stabby instincts by sending them into war zones.
You got room for another in there, Professor?mintsauce said:I completely agree, this is a disgrace. I was absolutely incensed by this case, it was such a horrible tragedy, and now these monsters are getting out early. Life should mean life, and in this case justice has not been served.
Ugh, looking at their smug faces just makes me want to cross check them all in the mouth. I wouldn't, I'm not like them, but, you know...

But should they be re-integrated in society? This kind of people is too stupid to learn. They'll just find a wife, create a few more of those little bastards and keep terrorizing people.Prisons are crime universities. The people coming out of prisons cannot be re-integrated in normal life, so they commit more crimes.
I think both are needed. Yes, you should try to prevent crimes from happening. However, if a crime's committed, you should react.We need to prevent crime. Not react after the crime has been commited. An impossible task.
We have Emo's too. It is the same. Basically, that would've happened to any person dressed in the style that encompasses that area of music. There's alot of kids around here who've been mugged more or less every weekend. Partly because they're inherently stupid, partly because they're drunk. But singled out because of their dress sense.Alleged_Alec said:And it feels like the emobashing you see a lot on the internet and in America, by the way.
I think the last person to be killed for treason was Lord Haw-Haw (not his given name) at the end of WWII.Forestwolfss said:Oh, and we do have capital punishment but that is reserved for high treason. Well last I heard.
I think we have completely abolished capital punishment in britain now. Even for arson in the royal back yard.

If you take a life, by all logic we should be able to strip you of whatever life you have left. This is the kind of situation where I wouldn't give a damn if an inmate had the mind to shank them in the neck - at least then the Sophie and her family could get the justice they deserve.
