There isn't that many like this. That's one reason why this is so shocking. 

Do you think someone who abducts a child and rapes and kills them is less evil?

I think you misunderstand me. Both are horribly evil but neither are common occurances thankfully.

Yet, in a nation that has the death penalty, mass shootings at schools happen many times a year. Is calling for the death penalty in the UK a deterrant or retribution ?

I'm pretty sure there is something else that contributes to that. Besides, the purpose of killing this evil person isn't to deter others, it's so he's no longer a financial burden and so the families no longer have to live in a world where he exists.

There's no right or wrong answer on this, but none of us can say what's best for the families. They may prefer to know that he's suffering at the hands of his fellow inmates for the rest of his life. Impossible to know, and thank god we're not one of those parents. It's an utterly appalling case.

In that case I'd feel happier knowing he was no longer breathing. Plenty of people who are geberally anti death penalty are saying the same thing.

Occasionally you hear a news report that some notorious childkiller or paedophile has died in prison after an attack and your first reaction is never mind.

He will definitely be one of those.

In fact, he's probably now top of that list.

And extra punishment should be added to his sentence, he should be kicked in the bolloxs every 30 minutes every day and night

Brings up an old debate, but one which should be reconsidered. Anderson mentions it below, but of course the typical response: a cry and moan about debate. 

 

 

It would be a terrible time when, after being elected, an MPs voice will not be heard because their policy view doesn’t sit with someone’s narrow PC mind.
