AIBU to think PC Harper's killers being released early is awful?

[Netcurtainnelly]

To think it's awful PC Harper's killers will be let out early.
As if it isn't hard enough for his wife and his family that it happened, now they face all this early release. How cruel. How absolutely cruel can life be?🤢

What a rotten justice system we have.
Petitions are going round, but they shouldn't have to?
What's the betting the offenders will just carry on the same way as before when released anyway?
How can anyone in their right mind think it's acceptable?🤔😮

Still selfish thieving scum. Are their parents proud?

If we lived in a decent society there wouldn't be violent thugs killing police officers and laughing about it.

@pearlbuttonsLocking multiple prisoners up together might not cause riots but they’d definitely end up killing each other. It’s far too complex than just triple bunks, bang up 24/7 ,sanctions on non compliance, cutting communications apart from legal teams; it’s all been tried & tested but nothing works.

I don’t see why any prisoner being considered for early release should be treated differently because their victim was a policeman. All victims matter. The police administer the law, not make it. I’m not saying that PC Harper’s sad death is unimportant-just that it isn’t extra important.

@Netcurtainnelly What a ridiculous comment about their parents! Are the parents of any prisoner proud of their dc? What's that got to do with anything?

While it is true that all victims matter and no individual life is inherently worth more than another, an attack on a police officer isn't just a crime against an individual. They're enforcers of the law so an attack on them is also an attack on the system of law and order.

First of all, surely manslaughter wouldn’t qualify someone to be released early ?

Secondly, surely it would also take into account the offenders behaviour in prison ? They didn’t show any remorse and are laughing whilst going to court?

Surely the fact they’ve shown no remorse should also go against them ?

Just to be clear , the Tory government closed about 20 prisons in England from 2010
A few new ones were built but only a handful.

Labour didn’t close prisons , they built them under Tony Blair

We should stop housing violent offenders from overseas i dont get how when you pass your driving test you can have conditions put on it like hey caught speeding within two years you lose your licence but cant make the right to remain linked to good behaviour

"Im fleeing from persecution so im going to commit violent crimes in the country that's helping me" why do we not bounce them out for that because they cant be that scared or they would behave themselves

There needs to be massive crackdown on crime in this country because it is getting Out Of Control.

It's really not.

Since the mid-1990s, there have been HUGE drops in crime levels:

What has changed is that we hear so much more frequently and more quickly about anything that does happen thanks to 24-hour newsfeeds, social media etc.

Yes, crime figures have gone down, not up. People should check evidence before making bold statements.

Crime figures might be down but they aren't accurate. Actual crime is way, way up.
