Here we are again with the tragic case of Joe Geeling.
So, if I dig a big pit, and have a can of petrol and a box of matches placed nearby - are all those who previously expressed an interest in this way of dealing with childkillers ready to light the match?
And yes, I know it is sub judice (in that there is yet to be a trial), but since when has that stopped you?
Oh, and should you petrol-bomb his parents' house while you're about it?
All answers most welcome.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.See, that's where the problem lies with me... if I were to say yes to the death penalty, then to me I am being just as bad as the murderer, but at the same time the prison time that they have I don't feel is right, when they say life, they should mean life and make them work for it... and work hard, not live off the tax payers money but be taught a trade or something that can be put to use during their lifetime prisonment, and then when they die, the money that has been earned put towards their burial, and the money that they earn while alive, give it to a victims charity and a mere wage for themselves to keep them alive, hoping that they regret the day that they committed their crime....
Brachiopod - I assume you are referring to my post in the link you have mentioned. The "fire pit" I suggested was intended for the case that flip flop's original question related to ie the man who had tortured and murdered his his own baby. I formed this opinion after reading the reports that were released after the court case and learnt exactly what this "man" had done to his son. In my opinion this "man" deserves to die for his crime.
I do not know the full facts surrounding the murder of Joe Geeling so no at the moment I wouldn't "light the match" or "petrol-bomb" his parents house.
i dont know if the age influences my thoughts, but generally people in prison have it far too easy. those guilty should actually be condemned to just living in one small cell with literally nothing but food twice a day. no hobbies. no visits. nothing at all. possibly not even a bed... lets see how they like having no life, but without actually dying. thats too easy for them.
I as a mum cannot begin to think what little Joe's mum and dad must be going through, my child is still here. I have mixed emotions about this...When I heard that it was a 14 year old I said to myself....Why...he is only a child himself, but what do we call a child now...they are 14 going on 24.
What drives a 14 year old child to kill another child?....I wish I had the answer.
What punishment is he going to get....none!!! Yes I agree with other posters that he will live in a secure environment.....with the telly and the playstation and everything else.....and after so many years he's allowed, with a new identity to have a life.
Can I just add that I'm from Liverpool and the James Bulger case is never far from our minds when we hear about cases like this.
