AIBU to think there's no excuse for letting these women down? Warning: Distressing details

This happened in 2018 but it's in the news again now. Two women were murdered and it was entirely predictable and preventable.

We also have this story www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63599799 A man with a long criminal record including assault while out on bail murders a stranger while out on licence. WTF was he doing out again? Why was he not penalised for committing one crime after another?

I've had a friend murdered by her ex partner who left her body for her child to find when she returned from primary school. I have another friend whose ex partner keeps being released in spite of him being a very real threat to her, having physically harmed one of her children with a weapon and who has access to firearms. I am so done with women's safety and domestic violence still not being a priority.

I'm so angry that I'm probably not even making sense but there's no excuse for this, is there?

It’s horrible when you read that someone was murdered and the killer has already served multiple prison sentences and reoffends each time upon release.

I say being back hanging but sadly that isn’t too popular an opinion on here.

I also do t think they should have tv’s or any kind of entertainment in prison and should be made to do hard labour.

Many are in an out of prison all their lives so clearly it’s not a deterrent.

I agree.

It’s awful to hear about any violence but to hear that the person has been convicted before really annoys me.

I don’t know what the solution is but they can’t keep being let out to re-offend like this.
