Re: Death Penalty
WARNING...THIS POST IS NOT PC.
The outcome of this incident was exactly right.
The man was dispatched to the hereafter with a lump of hot lead.
It has saved the cost of a trial and the cost of keeping him in jail.
This man was a known terrorist, was on a tag, but still he was free to kill two people and stab three others.
It was our judicial system that let down the public....but what we must remember is that the judiciary have to abide by rules laid down by governments.....so really it is down to governments that have allowed rules to become slack.
When someone is sentenced the papers will trumpet that a sentence of 16 years has been handed down....yet this does not mean the perp will actually serve 16 years....he will only serve 8.
This should not be permitted.
The sentence handed down should be the sentence served.
Terrorists should be transported to some inhospitable island.
They should have only the basic services....maybe then, this would deter people from committing acts of terror....once they are released from prison, they should be deported to the country of their lineage.....no ifs or buts.
If they do not like the freedoms upheld in this country, then they should leave for somewhere that is more to their cultural tastes.
