British Court sentences Al Qaeda murderer to life.

Do you suppose the family of Fusilier Lee Rigby is comforted by this humane justice?

Quote

LONDON – An Al Qaeda-inspired extremist was sentenced to life without parole Wednesday for hacking an off-duty British soldier to death on a London street in front of horrified passers-by.

Images of Michael Adebolajo, 29, holding a butcher knife and cleaver with bloodied hands in the moments after the May 22 killing of Fusilier Lee Rigby shocked people around the world and sparked fears of Islamist terrorism in Britain.

The self-described "soldier of Allah" was sentenced at Central Criminal Court along with his accomplice, 22-year-old Michael Adebowale, who was sentenced to life with a minimum of 45 years in jail because of his age and lesser role in the murder.

Rigby's family said after the sentencing that they were satisfied justice has been served.

A two week/natural life sentence works for me.

I quite like the fact that they waited for the judgement on a ruling regarding whether Whole Life sentences were legal or not (they were deemed to be, although are not in most of Europe) before sentencing.

So if you have a Rottweiler snarling and snapping and foaming at the mouth you are limited to locking it up?

With a seriously sick puppy, the humane thing to do is to put it to sleep. All too often, the odds that it will ever get better are a solid zero, and keeping it alive represents a threat to those near it in captivity and certainly to the world at large should it ever be set free.

In the case of the nice person who was recently convicted, you may think of the approach as 'death therapy.'

How about 'occupational therapy?' You know, 'getting into agriculture' in the sense of 'buying the farm?'

"They now bring peace and beauty to the world by pushing up daisies!"

It's all how you look at it.

It's an interesting debate and one which does and will continue to crop up fro time to time (dare I say it, often as a knee-jerk to an individual crime).

Now at the same time that 'we' did not kill these killers, 'we' let off a whole bunch of Irish Terrorists!! Who would not be free to go if the murdering scum had been executed for their crimes...

All in all, I support our no-kill judiciary. If someone killed someone I love, I'd want them dead though - but that's not justice, it's revenge.

Yes.

Well, it's obvious: bad analogies are like, well... oatmeal without garden shears: both can give you hives.

OK, maybe not. But they're always a good fall-back to feed the simple masses.

Pretty simple.

One is not being unfair to a rabid dog when euthanizing it, and doing the same to criminals who are unsafe ever to release into society is a valid approach.

Of course, I have to assume you are simply being obtuse here.

Then I guess I'll have to assume you're unaware of any difference between a dog and a person.

Try reading Animal Farm - Orwell does a really simple breakdown of the difference between 2 legs and 4 legs.

If it's cheaper than shooting it - absolutely! Most people have better things to do with their money.

yes I do seeing as they said so. Also these idiots were no more AQ than any other psycho that goes out and kills for shit and giggles. Even the judge said they were not part of a wider network in his sentencing. I don't have an issue with the DP in certain circumstances, it gets handed out to often in many countries that have it and isn't a deterrent. Even if we had it in this country I would be against these two being given it as they wanted to die 'martyrs'. Let them rot for the rest of there lives in obscurity, thats the right call on this one.

I understand your point. It's like the masochist crying, beat me, beat me and the sadist saying no.

"Also these idiots were no more AQ than any other psycho that goes out and kills for shit and giggles." BS.

IF they wanted to die 'martyrs', what cause were they willing to die for? Southern Baptist?

They did not kill "for shit and giggles". They knew exactly who they were killing, and it doesn't matter if they trained for this overseas or were "internet home grown terrorists". They eliminated one more Infidel who will never return to the battlefield to kill their Islamic brothers.

Way to miss a point, They were not and are not AQ.

When I don't want an animal anymore, I can have it euthanized. Or, alternatively I can give it to local animal control/humane society and if they cannot find a quitable "home" within a very short time frame, they will euthanize it.

When I can legally start doing that with human family members, your analogy makes sense.
