Choices have consequences. Some simply have forfeited their right to live as their acts have proven they present a direct mortal threat to the rest of us. The Zarnaiev kid in Boston for example is one.

In remote areas, assizes were held once a year with travelling judges, so if a murder was committed at the beginning of the year, the community had all that time to think about it.<br /><br />If someone was found guilty of murder, then the family of the deceased were given the right to exact whatever punishment they thought fit, including the killing of the murderer. If the family didn't want to punish the killer, then he (it usually was a 'he') was exiled for life.<br /><br />A good proportion of Vikings were exiled convicts, which explains their constant wandering, pillaging and the discovery of new places to set up a home from home.<br /><br />Greenland was a Viking colony, and it was named that to make it sound attractive to anyone who might want to join them to swell numbers and enlarge the gene-pool.<br /><br />Killing in cold blood is always deeply unattractive, whereas allowances for hot-blooded killings have always been made.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-84649509765046147172014-03-03T09:47:27.639+00:002014-03-03T09:47:27.639+00:00From what I read; definitely EVIL.From what I read; definitely EVIL.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-73247860778378933132014-03-03T09:46:30.314+00:002014-03-03T09:46:30.314+00:00This particular woman pleaded guilty, and revelled...This particular woman pleaded guilty, and revelled in the fact.

We have seen countless miscarriages of justice, some of them regrettably due to the fabrication or selective presentation of evidence (meaning we cannot even trust the police or the CPS). One could argue that where evidence is overwhelming, the smoking gun, a confession, there could be no doubt and in those cases a death penalty would be appropriate but sadly I think this would be the thin edge of a very unpleasant wedge as overwhelming evidence would always be open to interpretation.<br /><br />Naturally, the ECtHR should wind their bloody necks in when it comes to whole life sentences.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-69995317267982428562014-03-03T08:16:01.800+00:002014-03-03T08:16:01.800+00:00She was at the same secondary school as my boys ; ...She was at the same secondary school as my boys ; a couple of years below my youngest.
