these sentences are JOKES—and not JUSTICE!
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.
It’s amazing. Suicide of the west.
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
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.
thank you for that information
Behead them on Tower Green. Good idea!
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!
Now that would send a message. Put in on Pay Per View, and watch the morale of the nation go through the roof.

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.
They should be burned at the stake like witches of old
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.
Wait, what?
