British Justice: Releasing killer of three unarmed officers..

[duranman]

1966, a Harry Roberts did this cowardly crime. I was very young but remember like it was yesterday. It was THIRTEEN DAYS after the high of winning the soccer World Cup and occurred just up the road from that event and indeed where I lived. It chilled the country to the bone and the memories are way too horrifically vivid. Hanging had been abolished only months before the bastard was sentenced. Now we're letting him out...

Saw that on the news last night right after Alvin.

I was five years old Fata and actually attended that street funeral. Like it were yesterday. I honestly wonder whether him knowing the death penalty had just been abolished influenced his action. Our police were unarmed always in those days. Unforgivable..

In a Democracy, you get what you vote for.

Britain took quite a left turn some years back if memory serves me well...

We hanged some wrong people, that may have influenced that one..

I'm not your typical American.



I do not believe in the death penalty. But that does not lead to favoring the release of Manson, but with our liberals in California, I hold my breath every time he has a hearing...

This film brutally made the point. Many Americans will enjoy it I'm sure if you've never seen it. RIP Derek Bentley..
