No release for Peter Sutcliffe

The justice system prevails: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-10657290

I for one, am glad. It's nice to see that the judge echoes the opinions of a great many people in saying that a man who killed and attempted to kill that many people should never walk the streets of this country again.

Looks like he tried to get a 30year minimim as he has served 29. Luckily it didn't work.

For once, the system has not be flawed or useless. I guess it matters on the judge's personal opinion. The fact is many people are not fit to walk the streets - ever - and it's a pity some are released early.

[Inseriousity.]

having read a recent news article that says the judge didnt lock up a criminal because its not 'the way we do things anymore', it's good to see some common sense prevail.

Good news, although he should of been hung by the neck until dead a long time ago in my eyes.

Just kill him off instead of wasting taxpayers money in prisons tbh.. :rolleyes:

If you're going to lock someone away for so long, execute them. It's a waste of a cell. They're never going to redeem themselves when a judge has given them such a huge sentence in the first place. They badly need to bring back executions here.

A lot of people argue against that with the 'morals argument' saying that killing somebody is not right (which is fair enough if that is your moral stance). However it does not make sense when you have people saying that in death penalty threads, yet on the other hand they support euthanasia and abortion. Either you [as in they] support all three (like myself) or do not support any.

Not really, death shouldn't be used as a punishment - it's not being used as a punishment in euthanasia it's being used to ensure a better end for the person that's dying, saying that - should a convict wish to be executed for their crimes then they should be, however if death is going to occur unnaturally, then the only right way for it to happen is if the person dying wants to die.

I also support all three. Some people think they have morals, when they have the opposite. They believe in morality so much that they actually become contrarian.
