Ian Huntley dead

[the black fox]

Good riddance

 

[Sky]

He should have hanged in the first place . . .

 

[woof woof]

My father once told me we should never be happy about the death of someone but we can be thankful they are no longer around to do evil. I've always agreed with him. He fought in WW2 so I suppose he had some insight on enemies, hate and death.

I wonder if the con that whacked him will face a murder charge.

he would have to be charged
he would probly plead guilty as well

 

[Donnie]

Glad to know he's dead, evil *****rd

I'd have thought so.

Here's the man who killed Huntley. He's serving a whole life sentence so whatever sentence he's given makes no difference. He's there until he dies. Durham police will hand a file to CPS. It might well be that it's not in the public interest to charge him. It seems he shouted something like, "I did it, it was me."

Anthony Russell admitted killing three people, raping his final victim before strangling her.

It seems to me that this is just another instance of the stupidity of the current prison system.

If someone is a risk to others and society is not prepared to kill them, then why would you allow them out of a cell for any reason?
As for life sentences that allow people out after as little as seven years....

 

[Dave Canon]

I wonder if the prisoners drew lots to see who should terminate Huntley, However as the guy who apparently did the deed has nothing to lose, that may be the logic for his selection. It is difficult to see how public interest would be served by trying him other than it might discourage more prison assassinations.

At least that's a bed freed up for Purple 4-1...

 

[Mr Bump]

As for life sentences that allow people out after as little as seven years....

again not true but hey you are the expert.

a prisoner not on a whole life sentence or an imposed tariff who shows remorse and attends all the therapy and has a good behaviour record can be considered for parole after serving the minimum period defined at sentencing this is a minimum of about 14 years

 

[gman]

It looks to be a little more complicated, depending on the crime etc.

Your father sounds like a gent. Unfortunately celebrating and calling for the death of people is quite common on this forum.

While Huntley was a complete scum bag and deserved a life riddled with as much guilt as possible and deserved to spend the rest of his life behind bars. Nobody deserves to be murdered.

I would agree with you, if only life meant life.

If even one murderer is released and kills again, that's one murderer too many, yet in the ten years from 2000 to 2010, 29 released killers killed again...

I can understand the frustration, Northern Ireland's government is in the control of Sinn Fein / I.R.A, our own government are convicted terrorists and murderers.

What is the answer then the death penalty?

Labour will never allow life to mean life.

The guy that killed him is a convicted rapist and murderer himself and should not be lauded.

That's him there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Russell_(murderer)

 

[Nod]

He shouldn't be named or given any recognition. Similarly any terrorist or other sensationalist criminal.

Yep, death penalty would be my preference. The world's a better place without Ian Huntley in it.

But on your other "claim" can you let me know which of the following Sinn Fein sitting MP's are convicted terrorists and murderers?

Órfhlaith Begley (West Tyrone)
Pat Cullen (Fermanagh and South Tyrone)
John Finucane (Belfast North)
Chris Hazzard (South Down)
Dáire Hughes (Newry and Armagh)
Cathal Mallaghan (Mid Ulster)
Paul Maskey (Belfast West)

All of those have a connection to the I.R.A because of their association to Sinn Fein which is nothing but the political wing of the I.R.A, just a mouth piece for terrorist murderers.

Gerry Kelly is part of the Northern Ireland government and is a convicted murdererer and terrorist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerry_Kelly

Gerry Adams is in court today for his part in murdering people in England.

And there is not one person in Northern Ireland that does not know what Paul Maskey is.

quite a lot of vagaries there, Gerry Kelly's not an MP but was instrumental in the Good Friday agreement, Gerry Adams again not an MP and not he may be in court today but is innocent until proven guilty? Or has that changed? In fact has Gerry Adams ever been convicted of terrorism or murder? Can't find any evidence of such, nor for Gerry Kelly?

As for Paul Maskey, again can't find anything at all about him so you'll have to enlighten us, otherwise you're making an awful lot of claims

All that we know about "The guy who killed him" is that he has been charged. The jury will decide who killed him, not you.

Gerry Adams is appearing before a civil court, not a criminal one, so no conviction is even possible.

Can we please confine political views to the politics thread?

What have M.P’s got to do with the N.I government? We have MLA’s not M.P’s they are for Westminster. You couldn’t have looked too hard.
