why do people always drag up very old cases from before we had the technology we have now, if DNA evidence is good enough to free previously convicted criminals im pretty sure DNA evidence is good enough to condem a person today.

cant seem to win with some people, they accept DNA evidence to free wrongly convicted people but cant acccept DNA evidence to condem somone:rolleyes:

if you cant get your head around the fact that a parent would want a person dead and may feel like taking out tehir own measure of justice on the pervert then you are in a very small minority because every parent i know would want a person dead if they raped their child

if anyone ever molested one of my kids they would find themselves hanging from a tree with their throat cut but hey i might just be an over protective parent

i actually said i think there are cases where vigilantism is excusable and i think i have covered the areas where i think it is.

ie: parents of abused children seeking their own justice that should have been handed out by the law


i wouldnt think it acceptable for a lynch mob to set after a shop lifter for example

nope and because it dosnt this is why some feel the need to take the law into tehir own hands.

i think its abouttime the law makers asked teh public what punishments should be handed out for very serious crimes liek rape, pedophilia and murder and alter the punishments accordingly.Also if tehre isnt a cell free for a prisoner make them top and tail in one bed until a bed becomes free or take away things liek computer rooms and stick beds in them until more prisons are built

stop putting peopel in prison for small crimes like pirating dvds ,selling cheap tobbacco or not been able to pay their council tax and put the tagging system to use there and make more room for people who we dont want walking our streets
