Zak I fear you are taking this far too literally.

But the bloke with the dog should have something done to him that would make him stop in his tracks and think about doing it again (a punishment fitting of the crime). Yes if you threw your fat Hamsters off a bridge I would give you a fking good kicking for it as I did a lad in my street for kicking a hedgehog around the place.
Far too literally? In what way? People said they would throw people off a bridge as punishment for throwing a dog off, how else do I take it? Or now given a counter argument are you now watering down yours? Seems like it, because now you are saying make him think again, he can't do that if he is dead. Just a kicking for fat hamsters eh? Why the lesser punishment than a dog? Dogs are more important! Nope. We empathise more with dogs so people end up typing stupid stuff on their keyboard.

I think that part of the problem is that people know that the punishment this guy will receive from the legal system will be pretty low level, and certainly will not fit the crime either. Hence the passionate responses we are seeing.

Punishment does indeed need to fit the crime - certainly if this were the case in Britain today, crime levels would be vastly lower than they are.

In this particular case, I have little doubt that justice will be met, and it wont be via the Lithuanian courts.

Those figures I wouldn't trust. Take kidnappings for instance

  1. 1 United Kingdom: 3,261 kidnappings
  2. 2 South Africa: 3,071 kidnapping
In 5 years there were 3261 kidnappings in the UK, or 2 a day everyday ? More than South Africa?

Also, the amount of murders by firearms says 14 whereas it has averaged between 40 and 70 for the last 10 years according to government statistics.

So I take those with a very large pinch of salt.

Fair enough, they don't fit your world view, I don't blame you for not believing them.

FWIW my cousin has been in the Met for over 20 years, he did a stint in their kidnap unit. You'd be surprised how often kidnappings occur wink Mainly drugs related smile

I think you are right there... This guys best bet is to be locked up for long enough for people's memories and anger to disappear: Outside of solitary confinement, he will be lucky to ever have a good night's sleep again.

On the other hand, if he does go to jail, he may just meet his demise there, as many really dangerous criminals are bizarrely devoted pet-lovers.

My world view has nothing to do with it, they don't fit actual statistics for the last 10 years. As I said on firearms deaths alone 14 is way to low because it ranges well above that and the average is around 50-60 per year.

Given that figure is rubbish it doesn't give much credence for the rest of them.

In what way? in a way that you actually think that the people on here would actually throw him off the bridge you fool. Ok maybe some would but thats their view on it. If I had saw what he done that day he would have had a kicking yes, I said to throw him off the bridge also, actually carrying out that punishment I doubt I would do - thats how you are taking it too literally.

As for the stats produced, you dont like the numbers so they must be wrong and disregard them. fair enough how can i argue with that?

Zak - Scroll to the bottom to view Total Crimes

Yes, quite.

After reading about these bcensoreds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnepropetrovsk_maniac... I ended up reading a thread on a forum called "oh look, it's a foum" (or OLAF) in respect of the footage of these animals hammering & stabbing a man to death. I didn't watch the video, but I did read the thread.

I urge anyone on this thread to go over and read it, based on what I've read, I equally urge you not to watch the video but certainly to read the thread - in particular, comments from "sickphuq" and "TheKiller" are particularly eye-opening.

Found the thread. I think it would be very disturbing if these two met each other. It would form a very frightening partnership.

Nope, I'm fairly sure neither of those guys are keyboard warriors.

To be fair, "sickphuq" does appear to understand that it is very wrong, and doesn't have any qualms about admitting that what he has done in the past was wrong too. Although, I'd still say he's very much "out there" and in all probability, quite an unhinged person.

The person (a woman I believe) who said that the guy's moaning got on her nerves and that she chuckled when they went for his eyes with the screwdriver, is either trolling for a reaction, or she is one scary individual, in that she can find amusement in such things
