Current Affairs Stabbing incident in Southport

[NilSatisOptimum]

That's a fair point. But we know this lad already had profile, so there's no real comparison with the scenario you're painting.

Much of his profile he had built up was when he was still legally a child, the justice system is loathed to criminalise children even if they are black and from recent immigrant/asylum background.

Add the fact Tory funding cuts to councils and services, things fall through.

For example had friends telling me that the Prevent scheme is usually a waste of time. Referrals don't go anywhere and they get bounced back to their local council that don't the have the resources.

Unless the council is legally responsible, they will cut service to the bone. Going to take years to put funding and services back to functioning . Literally the same people who champion austerity are now screaming about people falling through the net, all very bizarre.

Reading the coverage from court, he’s a demon. Despicable. How any of the arresting officers could restrain themselves after what he said when he was arrested.

You have to restrain yourself because there is a better way to be. No point losing yourself to violence no matter the cause that he showed the world.

Dont get me wrong if he is found to be a fully consenting adult, I would be very sympathetic to some form of euthanasia when such acts are committed to total innocence.

What exactly do the cranks outside the court want to hear that will make them happy?

Just there to cause trouble as usual.

When causing trouble is monetised now, we should not be surprised by this.

Just milling round the court shouting the usual and trying to hassle the press.

Yeah, noticed some local youtubers there.

If we could be certain that the death penalty would only ever be used for cases of this magnitude, where someone’s guilt and capacity (in terms of mental slate) is abundantly clear, then one could quite easily argue the rationality of it.

Shameless

Had to stop reading the live feed.


If he was cognitively aware of the utter heinous evil of his actions then he deserves to go away for a whole life term, or worse.

If he is allowed to shield behind any degree of criminal insanity then he needs to go away for a whole life term for the protection of the public.


I find it absolutely disgraceful that neither of those possibilities can happen today.

The details currently being reported are sickening.

I hope the POS responsible isn't spirited away to a relatively comfortable maximum security gaffe like Belmarsh. Lash the animal in HMP Walton with the general population......

Sure I read that one of the fellers who's doing 7 years for those riots last year was getting paid £1000 a month to stir [Poor language removed] online.

TBF the evidence we’ve seen reported today is a powerful example of why the public don’t have a right to know everything about a case like this before a trial.

What those kids and teachers went through and what the cops and medics had to deal with when they ran to help was horrific in the fullest sense of the word. The evidence of how horrific it was can only be effective if it’s put before a jury empaneled to deal with the person responsible.

What we’ve got to avoid are the calls from the papers, social media firms and the ilk who demand access to this sort of thing in order to profit off it.
