boyfriday   21 #301 Posted February 28, 2014 Some prisoners, including murders even get day release so that they can abscond. How nice of use to allow them out for the day, its so nice living in such a civilized society.  However there's absolutely no indication that these two will ever be allowed out on day release because that liberty is only granted to murderers nearing the end of their incarceration, and we know one of these will never be coming out of prison, and we have at least 45 years before worrying about the other.  ---------- Post added 28-02-2014 at 09:29 ----------  Nor will the people paying the bill.  Well I'm one of them and I'm laughing.

LeMaquis   10 #302 Posted February 28, 2014 What do you think, Should a killer dog be put down? If so, should that same rule apply to humans? If not, why not?  If you're not aware of the differences between humans and animals then there's no hope for you but I'll have a go. Humans are capable of a far higher standard of civilisation and behaviour than animals. The people at the top end of the evolutionary chain hold back from behaving like the bottom end in order to establish that principles of humanity apply to all, even to those who reject such morality.  I'll give you and example. Some people would want paedophiles and their apologists strung up. These apologists may want others strung up and are oblivious to the contradiction of their attitudes. These people are at the lower end of human evolution and need to have their base instincts explained to them. Understand now?

Note how his last two victims were killed whilst he should have been locked up.  If we lived in less civilized society and we had treated him like a dog, two people that are dead today would still be alive.  ---------- Post added 28-02-2014 at 09:41 ----------  If you're not aware of the differences between humans and animals then there's no hope for you but I'll have a go.

boyfriday   21 #304 Posted February 28, 2014 This murderer killed his third victim whilst on day release, he got ten years for manslaughter in 1984 and was let out, he then murdered someone and got 40 years in 1992 and was let out on day release, so he killed someone else last July. Note how his last two victims were killed whilst he should have been locked up.  I don't get your point, Im not denying (some) murderers are allowed out on day release, but if it does happen it's near the end of their period of incarceration to acclimatise them to life outside.  One of Lee Rigby's killers is on a whole life tariff (so will never be released), whilst the other has at least 45 years before being eligible for parole.

Mr Clowning   10 #305 Posted February 28, 2014 Locking them up is the only option, long term is the only option.  They may never get out, either of them with the sentences they were given, although I would not but money on it.  You can never say what will happen in the future, just look at all the people that were released in Ireland after the peace talks, maybe in the future we may have to cow tail to some Islamic country like Saudi Arabia and let them out ???

Mr Clowning   10 #307 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm not getting into all that malarki  I'm just thinking outside of the box and saying that they are locked up for good, and should never get out from the sentence's given, but you can't say it would never happen as there's instances where we have had to bite the bullet and let people out that we thought would be in for a long time.
