Capital punishment..

Capital punishment..

following this..

and other cases similar or worse....

do you think it would be a good idea or not to bring it back in??

opening a can of worms.

i personally can see no reason for bringing the death penalty back. far too many opportunities for mistakes and innocent people being executed.

although if those lads were maimed in prison i would have no objection.

Det Supt Barbara Franklin, who led the inquiry, also believed alcohol was a factor.

She said: "It's up to retailers to make sure it's sold responsibly, it's up to parents to take responsibility for what their children get up to outside the home.


Why do everyone but the people who did it get the blame? How the fuck are there parents meant to watch them 24/7, they were old enough not have to be watched.

and why the fuck do people keep blaming "cheap alcohol" when owt bad happens. It doesn't matter if a bottle of vodka costs £6 or £10. They'll still buy the fucker and down it regardless.:spangled:

i too used to believe it should be brought back - but i've recently been convinced when can u be sure 100% there won't be any mistakes?

maybe 1 or 2 mistakes are for the greater good. prison shouldn't be like butlins though, fuck their human rights - it should be HELL

You can't be 100% sure but some poor sod might spend all his life behind bars when he's innocent. But that doesn't mean we should stop sending people to prison just incase.

but the difference is that you can let them out of prison if its found out a mistake has been made.
And no-one has the right to take any one else's life away. for whatever reason.

should make our prisons like russian gulags... or give them hard labour.. breaking big fucking rocks for no apparent reason 12 hours a day 7 days a week... coz the thing is.. these fuckers... and others like them... will come out of jail.. still pretty much in the prime of life... a better criminal... and probably a lot more clever.. coz they'll probably all do degrees or something... all courtesy of the very generous british tax payer!!

In that case no one has the right to put someone behind bars for some law that some bloke made up years ago.

What if they're innocent and they have to go through being treated badly?

compensation?? i dunno really.. but for every 1 they get wrong, there are 1000s they get right... give or take.. maybe if sentences were harsher.. it might act as a deterrent!

How the fuck is alcohol to blame and why should retailers or parents be brought into the equation? It pisses me off when people try to find an excuse for theirs or others behaviour and alcohol and drugs are always the scapegoat. Its all about self control and although they're quite young they obviously havent got any.

This aggrevates me beyond belief:

"But we are disappointed that the judge did not mention the fact that Mr Martin was clearly targeted because he was disabled and that his horrific murder was aggravated by hatred towards his impairment.

"Murders motivated by homophobia and racism often attract far stiffer sentences. All such horrific crimes must be treated equally by the criminal justice system."

If anything killing a disabled and defenseless man is one of the most cowardly ways of commiting a murder and should carry the stiffer sentences.

Capital punishment in my eyes is hypocritical but i hope they get hell when they go to prison.

Tell that to Forks.

Probably not because they'll be in prison with other people who have done similar crimes. It's only usually the high profile paedo's and that which are targeted by inmates.

Hanging is shit like. Proper inefficient way of killing. Id personally opt for one of the folllowing;

Lethal Injection
Gas chamber

I wouldn't mind seeing an updated version of the guilletine in action aswell. Cutting off someones head has always been a good way of killing someone.

Well there'll be a lot of nasty people waiting for them either way.

Theres no good way of killing full stop Pete!

Prisoners should have to do stuff like run on treadmills to power the lights in there rooms.

I dunno about that like!
