Mr Greaney said the boy told other pupils he was going to attack Mrs Maguire on the morning of the murder. The boy showed some of them the knives he had with him.Or this:
Due to the young age of the defendant, the judge and barristers did not wear their wigs and gowns during the hearing.We get the society we deserve, don't we?
Remarkable how much time, expense, thought and manpower the public sector devotes to ensuring total arseholes aren't inconvenienced and don't feel bad about themselves.
ReplyDelete20 years. 20 bloody years for what this little shit did.
ReplyDeleteMakes my blood boil. They should string these buggers up IMHO...
More to the point what sort of little sh*ts were the boys who saw the knives and did nothing about it? A word in the right ear then would have saved that womans life most likely. Are they not accessories to the crime? They are certainly morally if not criminally complicit.
ReplyDeleteThere was some silly tart, I think something to do with the Magistrates representative body (whatever - she was an utter c**t) saying the sentence was too long and overly harsh! WTF ?
ReplyDeleteHere's the stupid cow:
ReplyDeleteBut former magistrate Penelope Gibbs, who chairs the Standing Committee for Youth Justice (SCYJ) umbrella group of charities and campaign groups, said the sentence was too long.
She told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: ‘We are out of line with the whole of western Europe.
‘There are no other countries within Western Europe which give children - and this boy is seen as a child under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and is in the youth justice system - who would give children a life sentence.’

Pantomime would no more consider downsizing the grand spectacle of wigs and gowns than it would skimp on the farce and buffoonery.
ReplyDeleteTen to twenty years offers some chance to 'shore up' a very sick and dangerous mind. Notwithstanding, rely on some scoundrel to pronounce him 'cured' in five years.
The Judge should have had the black silk square placed on his head and then uttered the following:"Being of the age of fifteen when you committed this murder and thus being legally considered to be of such an age to be aware of the criminality of your act, I have no choice but to pass the following sentence upon you.
ReplyDeleteYou will be taken from this Court to a place of lawful detention. On a date yet to be determined, you will be taken from from thence to a place of execution where you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead.
May God have mercy on your soul."
I would say stabbing an unarmed female teacher to death, and planning to kill another who was pregnant, was pretty much the definition of insanity. The only other option is that the child is evil but who believes in a devil these enlightened days? All this nonsense about 'psychopathic elements to his personality'. Actions speak louder than words, this kid is sick- mentally ill and as such needs locking away (to keep us safe from him) with the right drugs for the rest of his life...probably.
ReplyDeleteI read the first paragraph. The kid was seriously unhinged.
ReplyDeleteLife sentence with a minimum of 20 years. So he will be out in time to enjoy the rest of his life.
I do not believe in the death penalty, but if you take a life, you must serve a life.
"...to ensuring total arseholes aren't inconvenienced and don't feel bad about themselves."
ReplyDeleteThey are treated as 'customers' while we are treated as cashpoints.. :/
"More to the point what sort of little sh*ts were the boys who saw the knives and did nothing about it?"
Or girls.
"There was some silly tart, I think something to do with the Magistrates representative body (whatever - she was an utter c**t) saying the sentence was too long and overly harsh! WTF ?"
Oh, this brought all the criminal-coddlers out of the woodwork. I nearly hurled my copy of the 'Guardian' across the train carriage.
If I hadn't been reading it on my iPhone...
"The Judge should have had the black silk square placed on his head.."
Agreed. Instead, we'll be seeing this remorseless little psychopath again.
" Actions speak louder than words, this kid is sick- mentally ill..."
It would seem not.
