    The Dead Of 2010

    I wish the DL forum had a "like" button as FB and youtube do. I would have certainly "liked" this post.

    The Death Penalty

    Three of those, Sutcliffe, Huntley and Brady are locked up in institutions for the criminally insane. Sutcliffe was passed fit to stand trial but was almost certainly bonkers from the off. Too many police, journalists and members of the public, for that matter, were keen to have the full grizzly details of his killings aired in court and I can understand that. It was probably right that people saw justice being done. Had an insanity plea been accepted many people would have seen that as an injustice. But he was bonkers nevertheless. It's a peculiar situation as in most cases you probably have to be damaged mentally to commit murder. The courts, if not Sun readers society, are more forgiving of children who commit murder who tend to be released after a few years with new identities in the belief that they can be redeemed. It happened with Mary Bell and with the killers of Jamie Bolger. Whether this represents justice for the victims is debatable. If I was an MP with a free vote I'd probably vote against the death penalty but wouldn't lose sleep about the welfare of any of the above. When a society begins to concentrate more on the rights of the killer and less on the rights of the victim it's beginning to lose a proper sense of justice. Point of order. I'm pretty sure that Ian Huntley is still in a mainstream prison and has never spent time in a psychiatric institution. Also, don't forget that Ian Brady was fit to plea at his trial and didn't enter psychiatric care until he'd been behind bars for nearly twenty years. .....and every day, there he sits rotting away, fighting for the right to die, but we wont let him. Why should he evade punishment? If "he wants to die and we don't let him" what greater punishment?

    I wonder if they found it funny when they got to the front of the queue and were told that McDonald's doesn't sell Whoppers™? Well then - Burger King, Wimpy or whichever chain the Whopper comes from... Windy, that's no way to talk about your future employers

    Laurent Fignon

    "Laurnet Fignon, feeling short changed by 30 odd years or so. It's a funny old game." He is also sort changed by having so very little time on the home page of DL. I do feel a bit sorry for him, dead f****r.
