We’ve come to the point where it’s said with a straight face that it’s inhumane to imsprison a man to life in prison for literally butchering someone in the street.

While I agree the gallows would have been a more appropriate punishment, I am impressed by the speed of the British court system. Their crime occurred in May 2013 and in less than a year they have been tried and convicted.

Compare this to Maj. Hassan, the Ft Hood, terrorist, where it took nearly four years for him to be tried and convicted and potentially decades before he is executed. This despite there being no question of his guilt. Ditto for the Boston Marathon bomber who will likely not stand trial for at least another year. There is no reason that in either the Ft. Hood shooting or the Boston Marathon bombing the terrorists should not have been more quickly tried especially when there was little doubt of their guilt.

I thought 15 years was considered the normal max in Europa

I wish the Queen of England would step in, take jurisdiction as the sovereign, and have their heads cut off in front of Big Ben.

Now that would send a message. Put in on Pay Per View, and watch the morale of the nation go through the roof.

Life is mandatory in the UK for convicted murderers, but they get a minimum tariff before they are eligible for parole. Your “average” murderer serves 14-15 years. “Whole life” tarrifs are reserved only for the very worst, such as those who murder children, or terrorists. If the one who got 45 years keeps acting up, he will never get out. Unfortunately, he will probably mellow in his old age.

From the Article:
The struggle in the dock was triggered when the killers, both wearing Islamic robes, reacted angrily to comments that Mr Justice Sweeney made about their extremist beliefs.

He told them: ‘You each converted to Islam some years ago. Thereafter you were radicalised and each became an extremist, espousing views which, as has been said elsewhere, are a betrayal of Islam.’

Elsewhere in the article:...Adebowale called out ‘that's a lie’ and ‘it's not a betrayal of Islam’ as the judge told them they had been radicalised. Adebowale WAS telling the truth! The judge WAS lying, or at least too blind to understand the truth!

They could make a lot of money on the broadcast. I know I would pay — even though I could not bear to actually look — just to support the effort.

There is a reason alright. It's the same reason divorces take more than a year rather than 2 months.

Reason: Make work for lawyers.

Whole life is a rip-off. Get a good term life policy and invest the rest.

Wait, what?
