Sorry Jon but you sound like a liberal.

He was found guilty of murdering a little kid.

Why do you think he should not have been hung - don't give me "but he was only a kid line" - he knew what he was doing was wrong.


Even if he didn't know what he was doing, he sure as hell knew what he was doing when he chose to download this images onto his computer.

And your problem with that is?

I don't remember ever denying the fact.

It's exactly because he was only a kid. He may have knew he was doing something wrong, but there's a reason we don't allow children to vote, or drive cars, or drink alcohol or any number of other things. It's because we don't believe kids understand the full consequences of their actions. That's exactly what makes them kids.

Do you realise what you're saying? That you'd be perfectly happy to have had a ten year old child killed. That's what you're saying. And you think calling me a liberal is insulting...

If Venables and Thompson had been executed, it would have made us no better than them. We'd all have been child killers by association.

His release will be very closely monitored, probably for the rest of his life. It might cost a lot but unless there is a prospect for rehabilitation we are no better than a mob mentality.

Jon's said everything I want to here.

I'm proud to be a liberal, BTW.
