I dont think we live in a so called civilised society...

He deserves to die for what he did, I really dont understand how peope can disagree with op!

How are people not able to separate venting from reality though?!

pigletmania · 30/05/2013 23:04

I agree booma. America have got it right for murderers, the lethal injection

rabbitlady · 30/05/2013 23:07

removing his genitals wouldn't stop him wanting to abuse children.

imprisoned for life should be enough to stop him harming anyone else.

suckmabigtoe · 30/05/2013 23:07

And people who say ' he deserves to die' ' bring back the death penalty'.

Surely that would just be an early release for him? Ive never understood that desire to see violent child murderers being let off early through death.

FreudiansSlipper · 30/05/2013 23:07

he shall be staying in prison for the rest of his life which I feel is what he deserves

torture is not somethng I agree with ever

human rights brigade Hmm do they join forces with the pc brigade the one made up of level headed sensible people who do not like to offend others

VerySmallSqueak · 30/05/2013 23:08

I can quite literally mean that I think he deserves the death penalty.
It's not a knee jerk reaction,as I have thought the same in all such cases and continue to think the same.

A fitting punishment to a heinous crime doesn't bring society down.

minouminou · 30/05/2013 23:08

We can separate it, however one PP seriously suggested torture so that Bridger would reveal what he did with her.
If you can't understand how we can disagree with the OP, then read through the thread again. It's controlling the rage and doing the right thing for society as a whole.

TSSDNCOP · 30/05/2013 23:11

I hope that he feels fear every minute of every day for the rest of his life.

I hope that he suffers mental torment and knows no rest.

I hope that he burns slowly in hell.

minouminou · 30/05/2013 23:11

I think life imprisonment is fitting, not, as a PP says, an early release via a sanitised lethal injection.

Boomba · 30/05/2013 23:11

YY, I seriously suggested that Hmm

death penalty and torture isnt ever goin to happen...so its a fairly safe discussion to have.

You would have thought...if it wasnt for the 'literal brigade'

ArtemisiaofCaria · 30/05/2013 23:12

Oh FGS, I hate some MN posters for the faux moral-superiority-highground stance, desperately trying to appear "intelligent" whilst doing the opposite, ironically.

It is not unreasonable to be repulsed by this man. OP wasn't seriously looking for a debate on corporal punishment. Get over yourselves.

yaimee · 30/05/2013 23:13

I'm normally one of the 'human rights brigade', in fact I still am but Mark Bridger has really challenged that for me.
In my head all sorts of horrible things should happen to him but in reality I know that he has been dealt with properly and don't feel that torture or the death penalty has any place in a civilized society.
I don't feel our justice system should be vengeful.
I'm glad he got a whole life tariff.

namechangeofshame · 30/05/2013 23:13

I think that as an individual I would like to see him in a tiny lightless cell feed the bare minimum to stay alive and psychologically tortured for the remainder of his pitiful life and made to give up her location.

As a representative of society and justice as a whole I wouldn't want to accept the wider implications of that.

It is possible to express the former without compromising the latter in reality.

Although we can't do it we shouldn't berate and do down people's right to express their rage.

minouminou · 30/05/2013 23:17

Im proposing torturing him, to say what he did with the body

It looks like you meant it.

It's nothing to do with a moral high ground. It's to do with looking ahead and beyond the immediate.

yaimee · 30/05/2013 23:18

Agree with suck too.
I'm glad he will have to live with what he has done and have time to reflect on it.

HoHoHoNoYouDont · 30/05/2013 23:18

Had it happened to my child then no amount of security and protection would stop me getting at the vile bastard and doing what the OP suggested. Prison is too easy for him.

suckmabigtoe · 30/05/2013 23:20

Theres also the fact that dead men cant talk. As long as he is alive there is hope he might tell them where she is so they might put her to rest.

yaimee · 30/05/2013 23:20

I don't think prison will be easy for him.
Everyone will know who he is and what he has done.

minouminou · 30/05/2013 23:21

As l

minouminou · 30/05/2013 23:22

As long as he doesn't emulate the charmer that is Ian Brady and keep on taunting April's parents.

HoHoHoNoYouDont · 30/05/2013 23:22

He should be put to work on a labour camp. Back breaking work day in day out.

Boomba · 30/05/2013 23:23

yeah, i dunno min...if I could actually make that decision....but I can't

what about torturing criminals, to extract information to prevent harm or death....Id probably vote for yes then

minouminou · 30/05/2013 23:23

Although the evidence points to him disposing of her body in his fucking burner.

VerySmallSqueak · 30/05/2013 23:23

Sadly,I think if he was going to tell where she was he would have done by now.

suckmabigtoe · 30/05/2013 23:24

Yes miniou i totally agree- i was never more convinced that evil existed than by that man
