Regardless of your personal interest in this case Phil, the fact is this sort of cowardly thing is happening every day in every town and needs to be brought to a stop damn soon before we dont have a country worth living in.

Maybe in this individual case the reported facts are a little innaccurat as it seems you and teh topic starter disagree on teh facts, but you will find that people in this topic are all commenting about violent crime "In General"

If someone takes a piece of wood, a bar, a glass or maybe a knife to another person, then they deserve to be hung or face the chair once proven guilty and incarcerated for one year IMO. (The oen year would be enough to be proven innocent on teh off chance there was a misscarriage of justice)

THAT would deter over 90% of teh lowlife cowardly scum commiting these crimes in teh first place.
