Clearly hasn't acted as a deterrent though, considering this thread.

You're also assuming he feels guilt.

Punishing someone else for a few more years is not really a public deterrent, publicising new laws would be much more of a deterrent.

And you're assuming he's a monster.

He went out to steal a car and screwed that up, he then decided that the correct course of action was to throw masonry at passing vehicles. He's hardly a paragon of humanity, is he?

That makes him a happy murderer does it?

After all these incidents it amazes me that noting has been done at these locations to deter any further incidents, i.e. 7ft high meshing.

He denied it. He didn't hand himself in. Hardly makes him full of guilt and remorse...

Well then let's try the other point again then - has he done it since?

We don't know what he's done since. Do you know that after a year inside Fred West would have behaved? Should we let murderers out after just a slap on the wrist because they might behave themselves?

Again, his sentence clearly hasn't acted as a deterrent, has it?

And you're the guy who was hinting he'd kill someone that broke in to his house under the guise of protecting his family...

This is true, however if he had done the same thing again I'm pretty sure it would be worthy of a news article, which doesn't appear to have happened.

Interesting steer here. Please enlighten me to the similarities as I'm struggling to identify any relevance to comment on.

As a public deterrent, 6 years or 12 years would hardly sway perspective.

I did not hint anything, but I'll tell you straight I'd do anything to protect my family, although I think my way of life is quite different to the average.

Dis86 · 13 Sep 2020 at 13:51

You can't get the similarities between two people that have killed people? I mean...It's in that sentence. So again I'll ask, do we let the likes of Fred West out with a slap on the wrist because "they might not do it again".

Perhaps if you tried leading a less...whatever the hell weird life it is you lead then your family might be safer?

Ok, I'm not bothering with that nonsense comparison.

My family are perfectly well, I was simply commenting on the posed hypothetical

What would you deem acceptable "justice" ?

Being flung off the bridge right behind his brick.

Careful, NVP will be here to defend his rights in a second! I mean, what if the poor defenceless killer is harmed by the punishment?! :mad:

NVP · 13 Sep 2020 at 17:14

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing :rolleyes:

I was actually indirectly defending our justice system by discussing his sentence.

ezekial · 14 Sep 2020 at 09:51

This is insane. It is so easy to kill someone with a brick through the windshield and it has happened many times.

Nasher · 14 Sep 2020 at 10:14

But the sentence was pathetic, people get more than 6 years for fraud.

Hang him from the bridge and let the lorries drive into him.

On a very slowly lowering rope, so it starts off at the top and lets them get out when their feet touch the ground.
If they can swing around enough to get out of that they deserves to walk free

Takes too much time and effort, as well as traumatising the lorry drivers and putting the burden of taking a life onto them.

Just get one of those bolt guns they use to put down cattle, and be done with the affair.
There are plenty of psychos currently in lockup, who could contribute to society by becoming court-appointed executioners. They wouldn't even need to leave their cell block for work, just feed the guilty to them down a chute.

poetic justice, Fury Road solution - strapped, inconspicuoulsy, to the front of the lorry ?

Might be worth contacting the police if you remember the location. They may spot them on some cameras.
I've seen this first hand and now is anyone is stopped on a bridge in extra cautious.

I change lane. Better be safe
