Harry Roberts to be freed


Recommended Posts

I believe life should mean life.

 

I someone takes a persons life in anything other than self defence then they should forfeit theirs, and as we no longer have capital punishment in this country then life should mean life.

 

After all, the person they have killed, will never have a second chance.

Why does the Home Secretary strongly believe people who murder regular civilians should receive lighter sentences that people who murder police officers?

 

Home Secretary Theresa May said she strongly believed police murderers should be behind bars for life.

 

Do you agree with her view?

Obviously his crimes are appalling but if he'd killed civilians then he wouldn't have served anything like that. In that context I find the "slap in the face for the families" a bit odd.

 

Maybe civilian families that see their loved ones killers out after 10 or so years don't mind being slapped in the face?

 

Agreed. It's more like a slap in the face for the families of murdered (non-police) civilians.

I think I agree with you, with the exception that police actually put themselves in harms way to protect the rest of us. So perhaps the added deterent of extra punishment is necessary.

I was alluding to the attitude Roberts portrayed in the article, not the posters attitude.

If they had and they were showing the same propensity towards violence as Roberts has would you?

 

Too many 'if''s there for me to get involved mate.
