Re: The ice axe killers
I quite agree, the whole thing is awfull.
However, I think it is worth pointing out that this was allowed to happen because the legal system in this country is seriously flawed.
We often hear about the corruption of the Police service, though compared to the inaction of the courts the state of the Police Force falls into insigificance!
For example, on many occasions the Police will arrest the likes of those mentioned above for whatever crime and will gain a good solid conviction. Yet this becomes a waste of time when all the courts do is let them back out again.
Had these thugs served a proper sentance for their last crimes this terrible act would probably never have happened.
