I love revenge. It is an amazing thing.

so you keep talking about what they deserve, and how people should take justice in their own hand, but you dodging the questions i am asking. You seem to want others to do that for you.

Tell me, would you be the one who will pull the trigger and what do you deserve if you do?

The person who'd kill those bastards would be a hero. He shouldn't get any punishment. But with the stupid justice system who appearently protects criminals, and not innocents, I wouldn't be surprised that he'd be deemed a danger to society (kinda like how it's always the victims who get punished for fighting back at US schools, while the bullies are protected, sent to a councilors office, and then back on the halls, free to beat kids up).

I belive rpunishment solves absolutely nothing. Ever. Punishing somebody will teach them nothing. People don't change. Specially people who are into torturing infants. It would serve only to satisfy a revenge thirst.

Killing people, however, solves everything. And kill ther loved ones too, just to make sure they don't come after you. Kill their bankers, their lawyers, their pizza delivery guy, and all of their children too. Their neighbours, their neighbours families, and their lawyers and bankers and pizza delivery guys too. Kill everyone who has ever known anyone who has ever known them. 'Till there's no one left but you.

So you're saying that the right thing to do is let them loose on the streets, so they can hurt and abuse other people is the rght way to go?

no i dont approve of tracking down people who served their punishments for their crimes.  the sentences were lawful and not outside the of bounds of sanity.   as has been proven by the further charges against the one individual, the law is clearly working in proper order.

when the law is unable or unwilling to serve justice, then individuals should take action.  society deemed those punishments worthy of those crimes....you dont agree with that?  then work and have those punishments changed, dont administer your own version of justice because you dont agree with what society has already decided. 

i approve of the death penalty .  my country does not view that as proper punishment.  it is not for me to go out and execute those people who have been found guilty of the crimes.   if i feel strongly enough... i, and other like-minded individuals, can lobby the government to work on having the laws changed ...and we, as a society, can provide that justice.

It was not an appropriate sentence. There are people who do less, and get much harsher punishments. 8 years in a juvenile institution, where they had great living conditions and access to education is hardly an appropriate punishment for torturing and killing a 2 year old child.

The further charges do nothing more than to proove that the psychologists who said he was no longer a threat to society lied, and that he never should've been released in the first place. The fact that he only got 2 years for taht, even though he violated his parole prooves that the justice system is incompetent.

It's also not my job to work on gettign the laws changed in the UK, as I don't live there.

I think the question was restricted to this particular case. I know I'd take justice into my own hands, I wouldn't go as far as personally killing the people responsible, but giving them the beating of their lives, either on my lonesome or with a posse. Killing should only be done by the government, unless of course you fancy becoming the villain yourself.

It would be cruel and unnecessary. The most humane thing to do would simply be killing them. No violence, just a bullet in the head. People like that don't deserve to exist! Another good choice would be something akin to the punishment the killer got in The Secret in Their Eyes. It would probably be even better actually.

again, you avoid answering my question.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

But I did answer it. That someone could be me (though it probably wouldn't be me, as I'm a pacifist, as someone on this forum says ).
