Ronnyboy Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I wish judge's weren't afraid anymore to give everyone a death sentence or get rid of scum. The Wild West knew how to do it, and crime was something that was slowly stopped by it. Why lock up the problem, and pay to keep it alive and dwelling, and just shoot the bastard in the head.

Robinski Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Couldnt the public get him extradited to a US jail. How can you have enough legal knowledge to acknowledge extradition but not acknowledge the moral standard that every person has the same rights, including the right to life and to a safe life. This guy should be allowed to have the trial, because he's been wronged, a persons previous record shouldn't affect whether they are allowed to bring a case or not. Â Â The Wild West knew how to do it, and crime was something that was slowly stopped by it. Why lock up the problem, and pay to keep it alive and dwelling, and just shoot the bastard in the head. The only reason people were so readily executed for crimes in the Old West was because the resources simply didn't exist to otherwise punish people for their crimes. They were usually many, many miles, probably hundreds, from the nearest city or big town with the resources to deal with prisoners properly. This reasoning is pretty clear once you see how the arrival of the railroad network tamed the West, by allowing quick travel to major hubs.

nerner Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Sadly the death penalty won't happen ever again here in the UK. As it was a condition of us joining the European something or other. So even if our politicians wanted to execute scum like this, which would be something, we couldn't. Europe tying our hand behind our back again. Â Plus, minus points to the OP for spelling the guy's name wrong, how much thought do you put into your posts again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of them, we don't really even have much control over are own laws and things like that since Belgium are all over our business and from what I remember have the most power to stop us from ever implementing such laws again, thanks EU.  Then again I could be wrong, but I remember hearing a lot of talk on the news about how Belgium were all up on our sh*t and were pretty much ruling how we wanted to go about things when it would of effected the EU.

Must be that I guess. Does seem a bit weird that our own laws and policies are so heavily influenced by other countries which are a long way away...

Robinski Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 The EU mainly legislates on trade and employment, along with the compulsory ECHR (European Convention of Human Rights) so they hardly shape criminal law at all really but mostly civil law (i.e. the side of law most people forget about). Besides, our adherence to the ECHR can be pretty tenuous at times, with just about any point of law contravening the convention requiring a case going all the way to the Supreme Court (the House of Lords) to get it declared in breach. Â Personally, I think that being in the EU is a good thing. But maybe that's because I agree with just about everything in the ECHR, and also because of my interest in criminal law.
