There is no doubt he did it. No case of mistaken identity. He’s taken 3 lives. He should be executed.

Yep and she’s been doing some protest I think or something to keep venables in prison. I read the book from the father’s point and it was such a heart breaking read those two boys completely destroyed the mum and dad. As you said it has haunted them their whole lives and it’s just absolutely awful 😔 it’s a constant reminder when that scumbag is always in the limelight for reoffending he should be taken out.

Absolutely now I'm not saying a fight outside the pub with an accidental death shouid = dp but there's cases it couid be entirely appropriate. If it was I'd put forward levi bellfield and venables

IMO, the reason that prison doesn't work in this country is because criminals know the police won't catch them, the CPS won't prosecute them and a judge won't send them to prison. The amount of crimes a criminal can get away with before even getting a whiff of incarceration is huge, making the risk eminently worth it.

I really can't figure out why the prisons are full if no one ever gets caught, prosecuted and convicted. Who are all these people clogging up the prisons?

They are the tip of the iceberg and do not reflect the true scale of crime committed in the UK. Hardly any rapists are prosecuted, for example. Around 75% of burglaries go unsolved. On average a criminal commits around 40 crimes that go unprosecuted for every crime of which they are convicted. Criminals know the odds of actually ending up in prison are slim.

I agree with you here honestly I do! OMG Levi Bellfield another scumbag 😡 I watched a documentary on him!

GatherYePearls · 10/07/2024 22:01

So you and these people share a desire to physically kill someone.

That's quite a big deal - given the right circumstances, you would do as they have.

Personally I think a lot of notorious serial killers etc would have a lot of people lining up to take them out. It’s not just a few on here who feel this way.

You feel justified in killing someone who you see as scum and you want to do it to satisfy your desire for violence and to personally inflict pain and death.

Yes?

Are you not seeing him as scum then? Your ok with what he has done and don’t think he deserves the worst even having all the therapy and money spent on him to be rehabilitated and to give him another chance in life you feel that this individual who continues to reoffend shouldn’t be taken out? Your condoning an Indiviual who stoned a toddler to death and the list of disgusting shit he did to this poor innocent child goes on should be allowed to breathe the same oxygen as we do? What are you saying here? I am not just one individual who also has this opinion by the way there are loads of people out there who would line up to actually give this piece a shit a taste of his own medicine! If he didn’t get granted a new identity which again tax payers paid for so this guy could walk the streets without being noticed or identified he would be dead by now anyways. You know what? It’s a shame that hasn’t happened if honest because that’s what he deserves. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah they say that don’t they that there’s more to him which they’ve not been able to piece together but think he has definitely done more than what was actually found out. Are you joking me? 75k!!!!! This makes me soo angry! It really does 😡

When you get chance look into the lin and Megan Russell case involving a 6 year old girl and the connection to levi he's confessed to it twice and wasn't taken seriously!

I will do. How can they not take him seriously when he’s confessing 🤦🏼‍♀️ I know some serial killers do sometimes confess too more crimes they haven’t committed due to wanting to be more famous and more known but seriously they need to look into it

Champagnesocialismo · 10/07/2024 22:41

People would do better to forget the names of these sadists and killers. Trust me, they like your anger and the hate

I agree there's definitely false confessions but he gave details that wasn't released to the press yet they was like we've got our man 🫣

The state should never ever ever have the right to take its citizens lives.

No matter what they have done.

I've literally said he's (and/or killers like him) a piece of excrement. That means "shit". I'm not condoning him - if we're going to discuss this don't be dishonest.

It doesn't mean i therefore think it's ok to kill someone. That is what he thought.

Just to be completely clear - do you agree with this statement:
You feel justified in killing someone who you see as scum and you want to do it to satisfy your desire for violence and to personally inflict pain and death.

If you're hesitating to say yes - why?

How am I hesitating to say yes when I’ve already said yes previously? 🤣 also I don’t have a desire it’s not like I love the thought of inflicting pain and death on other people I just don’t think in certain circumstances like the venables case, rose and Fred west case, Ian Brady case, Levi bellfid case and numerous other notorious cases they should be allowed to live. Considering the depth of their cases I think they should be taken out as they are pure evil. Now please stop trying to start a pointless argument with me about these pieces of scum as there is no need for you to start getting personal and assume I have a desire to harm people 🙄 talk about take something way out of context and exaggerate the hell out of it!

They’ve got him, keep him alive and let him get the shit kicked out of him in prison.

Are we sisters?! I agree with you.

WilmaFlintstone38 · 11/07/2024 08:09

And we hear on the news this morning that Labour are planning an early release scheme to free up prison places.

WilmaFlintstone38 · 11/07/2024 08:12

moonlightwatch · 10/07/2024 21:06

But the media is not wrong. Someone I know is in prison and he’s able to do courses and further his education, he’s had therapy and free dental treatment when these days you can’t even get an appointment or a dentist to take you on. He gets to work in there to earn money for luxuries, he’s able to go out for fresh air, watch tv, listen to the radio, gets certain amounts of calls a day, is able to actually log on to a computer and check emails, goes in the gym which outside we have to pay for. Like how is prison a punishment?

I used to work in a prison. There was high security around the internet and they were not allowed email access. Dental treatment was very often delayed.

Beezknees · 11/07/2024 08:27

I don't agree with the death penalty.

Practically anyway it is not a deterrent and actually costs more than keeping someone in prison due to all the legal proceedings.

WilmaFlintstone38 · 11/07/2024 08:09

They're not going to be releasing murderers. It will be low level criminals who probably don't even need to be in prison at all and would benefit more from rehab schemes.

Prisoners who are already serving life sentences will sometimes confess to crimes for bribes. Pretty sure the people who investigate this don't need advice from mumsnet.

Give over, I'm am Atheist and appreciate life as you only get one. I think people who take a life should not be given the privilege to keep theirs.

Ending someone's life isn't massacring the same way they done, it's meerly a push of a button and hardly the same.
