Who are 'animals'? The guy who was killed, the baying mob that killed him, or both?

Its a long winded debate but the justice system in this country is crap.
It's the attitude that some people are less than human, or less worthy of life that gets us into this situation in the first place.

i.e. whether it's a racial thing, a religious intolerance, a paedo thinking that his victim is not human OR a mob dispensing mob justice.

My opinion is that there is any way a child molester can be made to pay for his crime, there is not torture method on earth that will make up for what they have done. Death is not a punishment for people like this.
Castration and removing their hands could be though...

And when the baying mob get the wrong person? Or a paediatrician? Is that an acceptable loss? What if it's your son, your brother, your father who has his knackers cut off with a rusty knife before being set on fire and stabbed to death - what would you do to those who did this to your son/brother/father? And what would their relatives then do to you and your mob?

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

If it were my daughter he had done it too. I think I could very likely bring myself to do this to him.

It wasn't so I couldn't. But can totally understand someone that could.

Sympathy, I have none.

Sorry.

Without background on the murder victim, I fail to see how I can form an opinion due to internal conflicts.

This is why we have courts, jurys and prisons so that the person is found guilty and sentenced appropiately.

For years now the courts have been imposing grotesquely lenient sentences for all sorts of crimes ( excluding Mr Martin? ) to the extent that most respect for the courts & government are now zero.

When a reasonable sentence IS imposed, the offender is released early, often to promptly reoffend. Those who sanction these early releases should themselves suffer sanctions when new offences take place - that would focus their minds a little!
Uhuh. Right, so other than believing everything you read in The Sun, what are you basing this idea of lenient sentencing on?

F**k all, I'm guessing.
