Do we have a little clue here? bas wrote further up the page " It is not I who is unable to control himself, and live peacefully". So you have a nice peaceful life do you bas? A lot of people are not so fortunate. They actually have to live among and tolerate the scum that you feel we should be so sympathetic towards. It's quite simple. We're losing the battle as far as law and order is concerned. You might never read about it in your broadsheet or hear it said on Radio 4, but it's the truth. The scum have it easy. There are no deterrents available today that can divert them from their chosen course. I personally believe we should bring back the stocks and ball and chains. Limit their ability to commit an offence and identify them for the low-life scum that they really are. Turn the other cheek, civilised society blah, blah. Yeah it's great in theory. Someone should try and introduce a few of these values to the scum. It isn't going to work. The longer we pander to them and the "broken home" school of thought the worse it's going to get. We need to think more about the rights of the victims. Personally, I think Huntley should have been allowed to die. It would have been a cheap and easy cop-out considering what he done, but at least he would have been dead. I think he should have faced some form of capital punishment anyway, preferably a petrol filled tyre hung round his neck.Yup, I'm a vile and uncivilised scumbag who makes you want to vomit. (Saved you some time there, you don't have to type that again). It's about time we had a Government with the guts to tackle this problem head-on, but until the REAL scum are tearing down the ivory towers nothing will be done and by then it will be too late.
