Shorter sentences for murder

[bill]

I think you will find what I said was,"I firmly believe that I would have no hesitation in carrying out the lawful execution of convicted murderers".

[Sweltered]

I can't agree that the two kids connected with the Bulger murder should have been executed, however they should still be locked up yet, instead of getting released and given new identities. However, had they been 18 , I would have had no problem with them frying. There was a case near us recently where the guy spent the trial using crayons and colouring books in the court, in a rediculous attempt to show that he was retarded, to avoid the death penalty. Thankfully the jury saw past it and recommended the death penalty. It's just a shame that he'll probably manage to avoid the lethal injection for about 12 years DESPITE confessing twice.

Not sure what purpose it serves to kill him..

He is now 48. He will have years of appeals and probably won't even be executed until he is well into his 60s. They will spend millions on appeals.

Maybe they should find an island somewhere, drop them food once a week or so, and let jailhouse justice have its way.

Ok, legally execute two children? Would you do that?

The situation would never arise as stated previously ,you know as well as I do that no British court would ever sentence 10year olds to death.

Ralph Bulger told reporters: "James had the right to live, the right to grow old, to love and be loved and to have children of his own. But they took his rights away from him and so they should have no rights at all, never mind the right to privacy or the right to hide away."

How would you feel Petewick if you found that Jon Venables or Robert Thompson,under their new identities, was living next door to you? Would you offer the hand of friendship and neighbourly assistance?

Rockall is vacant at the moment, I do believe.

Of course they'd still have to pay the council tax.

Is the island for people with learning difficulties?. The ones, who the system finds, " normal ".

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Ionns.. I know a lot of people with learning difficulties who don't go around killing people.. Even most 4 year olds know you don't kill people. How about giving the criminal the choice... execution, solitary confinement, or the island.. there.. that settles it

[ionnsaigh]

Bobbie, like yourself I also know lots of people with learning difficulties. I spent 15 years working for them. During that time I witnessed all sorts of abuse by members of staff, it appears to be written into the culture of care. I dread the day any of mine have to go into a care home, as they will be almost certainly abused, at the hands of Social Work Departments throughout the length and breadth of Scotland.

Neither, I would leave them to get on with their lives, they know what they have done, they have to live with the truth of what they did.
If they ever have children of their own, I'm sure that they will realise even more.

Once again it is one of those questions that is easy to answer, as it is unlikely ever to happen.

You are wrong again billooga, i think if you check the dates i took a few days until i replied.
Just the facts jack, just the facts.

petewick

[bill]

What..you have one of them living next door?


What are the facts?

Rumours are that one of them is in Mountjoy jail.The other one is rumoured to be in Australia.

[king of kilcousland]

"I hereby sentence you to x amount of years imprisonment" Why noy " Your going to jail" Thats a shorter sentence, only four words!

[Bobbie En Tejas]
