I can't from the bullshine put forward from the 'press' and folk on here, see where it was, but before all that brought him into the media's eye, perhaps there was something that was worthwhile about him?

Nope, I'm fighting against myself here,

I haven't seen anything, I can't believe I'm typing this, except for the metaphor about not speaking ill about the dead.

Whatever he did, he won't do again, why are we being so vicious?

Like with Fred West and other swine, the memory will recede for us, but not for those involved or his relatives, at least we aren't expected to lay a wreath as a memorial.

Let's just hope it will be a long time before such danger is allowed out of prison onto the streets again.

O.K. it will probably be less than a fortnight, before something else like this happens. But the press will only be there if it's 'exciting'.

Less, you are right.......there are elements of light and dark in all of us.
The media want to demonise and sensationalise the daily doings of this man, for the simple reason...it sells papers.

It is sad for his family, however dysfunctional they may have been (according to the media), they were still his family and they have lost someone that while, they may have at times felt angry/irritated/frustrated with...he was still their flesh and blood.

He was a deranged man.....something that might have been to do with his use of steroids(allegedly) and this should have been spotted long before he left prison.

He will be being judged by his maker...and that is enough.
