A) Laugh and say "good"

or

B) Feel pity for the peadophile

[A.Guest]

a)

[MrBounty]

Whatever he done, it's highly immature to "laugh" at someone being stabbed to death!

I have no pity or sympathy for the bloke.....i just dont understand when people can say they laughed at another person being brutally murdered!

[daffy654]

Neither.I don't feel pity for paedophiles no matter what happens to them.The people/person who killed him have taken the law into their own hands and no doubt when they are caught they will get lengthy custodial sentences.

[Maypole]

erm.. neither. I havent read it but saw it on the news.

My immediate reaction was that I 'hoped' he was dead before they knifed his goolies and it struck me the perpetrators must have more than a hint of teh sadist about them.

And my only other thought was that this had been going on for some time, he had had his caravan set on fire so why didnt he upsticks and move away?

[Red-Dwarf]

Mr Bounty, I may have used "laugh" in the wrong context. Lets just leave it that.

[MrBounty]

Yeah, will do.....i do know what you meant, btw

[Marijn]

Two wrongs don't make a right. No, I agree with last post...it's not funny.

[Red-Dwarf]

Thanks Mr bounty! No, it wasnt funny, I just meant it in a round about way, that you would have sat there and thought "good, he deserved it"

I sure did. Peadophiles and rapists are the scum ofthe earth and deserve no place in it, in my opinion.

C) Wonder how long before the pitchfork wielding vigilantes string up some innocent old bloke

This is why we don't have a Megan's law

[andy-hughes]

Neither - but I take your point that maybe your question was not phrased as you intended.

Obviously as a father of three daughters, i have seriously strong views about paedophiles, but I also have equally strong viewa about vigilanteism.

Taking the law into our own hands because of an over-developed sense of 'justice' is the thin end of a very nasty wedge, so I cannot condone this action under any circumstances.

Emotionally, I may feel that he 'desrved it', but alws and civiised soceity are based on the principles of justice and law, not simply knifing someone whom you 'believe' to be guilty of a crime, however repellent that concept may be.

[LoftyLottie]

Actually, neither. In fact my answer would be much the same as Andy's. I would read it with a great degree of sadness for many reasons, but I certainly wouldn't have any feelings of happiness or that it was a good thing to have happened.

[JockSporran]

The scum of the human race have no right to pass judgement on anyone else. Whatever he did, he is no worse than the vermin who killed him. Isn't it funny how murderous convict scum think they have the right to look down on anybody?

[LoftyLottie]

And scum and vermin are exactly the right words for those that did the killing!! Quite honestly, I think these types get realsordid pleasure from doing things like this. They just need any excuse.

This doesn't mean that I don't think paedophilia is forgiveable by the way!!! It is horrendous.

[sqad617]

"Sex Offender".....I presume that he has served his sentence.

Agree with jake-the-peg....string them up supporters may one day hang the wrong man.

The perpetrator must be found and brought to justice.

[Octavius]

Neither particularly. Whilst it worries me having pedophiles in our midst, it equally worries me that there are people wandering the streets of London - and in our society generally - capable of premeditated torture and murder. I hope they get caught.

[Whickerman]

I concur with jake and Octavius.

[B00]

It really makes me wonder what kind of person or people could kill another in cold blood like this.

I believe that I myself, could never kill someone, no matter what the provocation- it's just not 'in me' to do it.

[mrs.chappie]

Neither.

I think the people who did this are the lowest of the low. Yes, of course the offender should have been punished. But what they have done is just disgusting.

[DaisyMae]

It is totally unforgiveable. The police are now saying that although he was convicted of having sex with a person under 16 in 2001, he had recently been removed from the sex offenders register.

You can read into that what you will, but there is no way he deserved to die in any way, that he did in this horrendous attack is despicable.

[LoftyLottie]

As I said before, and really mean, I think they actually get enjoyment from it. They just need an excuse. They are total low life. It is sickening.
