I for one tend to agree with the underlying principle that has stood us well for a number of centuries, that it is better for guilty criminals to walk free than innocent men or women to be imprisoned unfairly. The problem with capital punishment is that it is final by its nature. To pardon some-one after wrongful judicial execution is a rather pointless exercise.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-27863460702377082882008-06-06T16:55:00.000+01:002008-06-06T16:55:00.000+01:0006 June 2008 10:21Total nonsense!06 June 2008 10:21<BR/><BR/>Total nonsense!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-75179596444422073642008-06-06T15:18:00.000+01:002008-06-06T15:18:00.000+01:00Here's why I don't like the idea of Thanet Earth.h...Here's why I don't like the idea of Thanet Earth.<BR/><BR/>http://environmentdebate.co.uk/2008/03/06/thanet-earth-update/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-23089408544720911412008-06-06T10:21:00.000+01:002008-06-06T10:21:00.000+01:00I am always totally against the death sentence - f...I am always totally against the death sentence - for many reasons I will give you just 1.<BR/><BR/>Ok, it seems like a waste of public money keeping alive monsters like Shipman, West, and those other pyschopathic mass murderers etc...<BR/><BR/>BUT<BR/>there are so many innocent people who have been killed through death sentence in this country in the past, and in other countries.<BR/><BR/>If the death penalty had been in place for the past 40 years countless innocent Irish people would have been killed.<BR/>Those people served long prison sentences and have now been found innocent and released.<BR/><BR/>There are others who similarly have served long sentences, later to be found not guilty - names escape me.<BR/><BR/>I think there may be other solutions - including support/better parenting and education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-72300455809772438832008-06-06T09:15:00.000+01:002008-06-06T09:15:00.000+01:00sadly for some yougnsters the 'let off with a caut...sadly for some yougnsters the 'let off with a caution' or an ASBO is a rite of passage and they're proud of their deeds.

A few years back a spoilt US brat found himself on the wrong side of a cane for vanadalism to cars in Singapore! I rather fancy the idea of seeing that Thanet mugger of defenceless women sitting in the stocks in Cecil Sq with a card round his kneck saying 'I mug women' with anyone passing being able to SEE the perpetrator. The scourge of anonymity given to younger offenders prevents local opinions being expressed and possibly influencing the offender to behave correctly.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-90363304605726002782008-06-05T20:28:00.000+01:002008-06-05T20:28:00.000+01:00Ref 05 June 2008 17:45 anoymousWe have a world foo...Ref 05 June 2008 17:45 anoymous<BR/><BR/>We have a world food shortage and you are against Thanet Earth because you don't like the look of it.
