My friend Mark was murdered in cold blood on Monday night. One of the nicest people you could ever meet was stabbed to death, aged 21.
The man they arrested that night should be executed. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. No questions asked. I have never been in this situation before, and hope none of you ever have to. It isn't nice. I have never had an opinion on the death sentence, but scum like this should not be allowed to breath.
What makes me mad is the thought of the justice that Mark WON'T get. What will his killer get ? 5 years ? I'm sorry if these words seem stern to some, but this is how I think it should be.
Mark,
Rest In Peace my friend. You are in a safer place now.
Matthew.

Just read the article, totally sickening, and yes your right.The murderer will get away with a few years inside.
It should be a custodial sentence(with hard labour) for merely carrying a knife, let alone using it.
Totally sickening.

Words can't convey what I want to say about this.
It's a sad state of affiars when you try and protect someone and some arsehole stabs you for it.
I agree that the git should be killed, end of story.
I have very strong views on this type of thing, not going to rant about them on here though, this thread is not the place.
My condolenses to Mark's family and friends who have to try to come to terms with this.

Word fail me
My sincerest condolences to you and the family of this brave young man. What a damn shame.
I hope this piece of sh*t rots in jail although this is hardly a fitting punishment - eye for an eye!

Really shocked and sorry to hear about your friend
Same thing happened to someone I knew, words cannot express the numbness felt
I hope everyone else involved is okay.
Also hope that scumbag rots in hell . . . forever [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear this.
This is exactly the reason why the death penalty should be brought back, there is too much violent crime, and on the up - why?, they know they'll get any with a poxy sentence, to sit in a jail, watch TV and play pool all day soaking up our Taxes to keep em there. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Condolences on the loss of your friend Matthew, and condolences to his family

Thank you all for your kind words. It really does mean a lot to me. As DJ Dunk said, you can't really express the numbness you feel in a situation like this. I guess it just feels "sureal" at the moment. More likely it hasn't sunk in.
Once again thankyou. It makes me feel better, and puts a bit more faith in human nature that is sadly lacking at the moment.

""The world famous British Legal system " will take care of it ....""
If only that were true. Half the Judges seem to have gone mad, and the Law is so antiquated (sp?) it can't be relied on anymore.
I waited a long time to see "Justice" done, only to be let down by a pathetic technicality and a smart Barrister. The Criminals get the good barristers because the System pays their fees. The CPS haven't got the funding to buy the good ones so end up with the crap ones.
No punishment will bring back your friend and don't waste your life being angry.
He will get what he deserves somewhere along the line.
