Forums Forums National News Murdered Police women

I have absolute symapthy for the victim's family which is why I said that for murder the prison sentence should be different and of course that means life means the rest of the murderer's life.
The other reason the death penalty will not come back is that it is enshrined in EU law.
In this awful case the killer was already on bail accused of another murder which really does beggar the question why on earth release accused murderers on bail.I guess human rights would come into that even though this guy seems to have no human feelings.

Salmon you are debating well with some very valid points considering you thought this topic unworthy of debate.

True but I have not changed from my original point that the death penalty will never ever come back despite the popular press with their on line polls.

There you go again debating, keep up the good work because the subject has touched a lot of hearts . Maybe just maybe because of the nature of this horrific crime, our mamby pamby politians may have a rethink.

Not much debating going on, may be too early

Maybe you put too good an argument .

so so sad, may they RIP,
i dread to think what these poor girls familys are going through.

at least they have arrested the idiot who set up the facebook page supporting the killer - something wrong with some elements of our society when things like that happen

Re the Facebook trolls who praised the subhuman who committed this crime - I can't begin to fathom their mindset . Quite apart from the awfulness of what he did , some of them describe him as a 'hero'-I understand a hero to be a teenaged kid in an army uniform facing death daily in Afghanistan or a young policewoman going (unarmed) into an unknown situation.The irony seems to be lost on them .
The technology we have at our hands nowadays is fantastic-people can debate subjects without ever meeting and maybe express opinions that others may find distasteful-but that is the price we pay for having freedom of expression.I know this has been discussed before on Wiki - I believe that you shouldn't say anything on any forum that you wouldn't say to another's face .
Finally, I hope the two young officers RIP and their families take comfort from the knowledge that they were doing a job they obviously loved.

Trolls are sad lonley people who only have a keyboard as a friend,it is good to know that most of us are not this sick.Trolling must start to be treated as more serious crime, never mind the right to freedom of speech. they must be stopped.

Yes you are right, in fact all social networking sites are having problems with trolls and people causing allsorts of problemsi.e. a poor mother who found out her daughter was dead on facebook, i find it very disturbing indeed.

I will 2nd that dizdazdoz !!!!

Didn't we have the same when Raoul Moat blinded the policeman after going on the run.As you have all said it is incredibly sickening to read about such things. Social networking sites surely owe a duty of care to everybody.ATW1960 hits the nail on the head with the freedom of speech comment.
