Woman guilty of Canning Town 'paedophile' killing

[Deleted]

You think just because someone serves time, it means they're reformed? Lol.

That's irrelevant

[Deleted]

If they've not been found of committing more crimes.

Doesn't mean reformed. It just means they've not committed crime again yet.

[Themius]

It's not about them, it's about us, the people. In California pedos need to be accepted by a community, thing is no community is going to accept a pedo, the result is life in prison. What's wrong with that?

Again, if the pedo left the kids alone, none of this would've happened.

The people? You mean savages who say they don't give a fuck whether someone has served time, and hasn't committed another?

[Deleted]

Maybe you should write clearly then, because what you wrote, "Then why bother having laws if you can do wtf you want to convicted people?", that implies that there's no penalty for what she did. There is a penalty for it, you can't do what the fuck you want to convicted people.

Perhaps you should read better and understand my comment had a quote I was commenting too

Yeah, those.

So they're no longer a criminal, how bad? They're a reformed criminal when they're not doing criminal things...

[Deleted]

Not irrelevant. Criminals should not be let go until they're deemed rehabilitated. Letting criminals go before they're deemed not a threat anymore is really fucking stupid.

[Themius]

Yeah, those.

So what's the point of serving time as punishment?

No, they're criminal. You don't stop being a criminal just because you're not currently committing crime.

I remember there was a cab driver who touched the leg of a 15 year old boy who was upset and crying and was arrested in a pub for it.

Yeah, crying 8 year old, lost her mommy in a grocery store, she sees you and says "wah wah my mommy, can you help me find my mommy?" and before you can respond, she hugs your leg and then mommy sees you... Bubba and the courts don't understand, but you'd learned your lesson.

[Themius]

No, they're criminal. You don't stop being a criminal just because you're not currently committing crime.

So when a criminal stops committing crimes for the rest of their lives they're not a reformed criminal but just a criminal for life? Does that mean if a child steals a pencil they're forever a thief?

A society that can't protect their children isn't much of a society. It's the most reprehensible crime. Maybe the sentencing laws don't match what the public believes?

Perhaps move country then? Because laws state a criminal is considered an ex-criminal upon release until he/she commits a crime again.

The majority who go to prison reoffend within 3 years of release.

Gee, an emotionally sensitive case (with bonus sensitivity points for "must protect the kids") with trial by jury that ended with a bullshit resolution? I wonder what may be the case...

Killing someone isn't always murder. It can be a variety of things. The judges deemed this to be manslaughter. Just because you think it's murder, doesn't actually make it murder.

Not judge. Jury. The judge most likely couldn't find enough hands to facepalm with.

[tyrindor]

My god. So murdering someone is better than being a pedophile now? People are born pedophiles, you don't choose or control what you are attracted to, just like a person has no choice to be gay or straight. A murder is an act where a person must actively decide to take someone's life or not. I'm not defending his actions, an adult should be able to control their urges when clearly he couldn't, so it's hard to feel sorry for him but at the same time the woman should be arrested for 1st degree murder.

If we as a society are OK with this, than we might as well round up every pedophile living today and stab them a dozen times one by one.

There's no such laws stating so here. I'm perfectly allowed to treat a criminal, like a criminal.

[Nachturnal]

This is straight messed up. She clearly went with the intention to kill, and it takes a pretty messed up human being to stab someone to death.

UK doesn't have a jury, not in the same sense USA does.

That depends on the crime
