Today's unlikely topic is the death penalty. I have very strong views on this subject and I'm about to share them with you.
The photo is of a young 16 year old thug who killed the head-teacher Philip Lawrence, depriving a good, honest man the rest of his life, a wife her loving husband and the children their father.
Philip Lawrence's children no longer have a father to talk to, to guide them through life, to see them get married and have children, to babysit for them. Philip's wife can longer share her time with her husband, help bring the kids up, share meals, birthdays and christmas's with.
Now tell me this, 16 year old shouldn't wake up in the morning, because if I had my way, I'd hang him myself, I'd put the noose round his neck, I'd whisper in his ear, I'd pull the lever to send him on his way, and then I'd put my arms around his ankles and add my weight to his, just to make sure!
I said I had strong opinions on this.
This is the BBC Story that made me write this blog:
The killer of headmaster Philip Lawrence has been let out of jail for a day to prepare for his release. Learco Chindamo was 16 when he stabbed Mr Lawrence to death as he tried to protect a pupil outside his school in Maida Vale, north-west London, in 1995. Chindamo, now 25, was given a life sentence in 1996 and told he would have to serve at least 12 years in prison. The Prison Service said he had been let out of prison on Saturday as part of a resettlement programme. Day releases are used to maintain and develop prisoners' contact with their families and friends, and prepare them for their eventual release.
So as you can see this piece of scum will soon be hitting the streets again, will it be your daughter who unwittingly starts dating him, without knowing his past, will it be your children who one night bump into him in the streets, will it be your husband who tries to stop him beating his next victim?
I hope to God not.
It would be far, far better for society, for all decent law abiding people, to remove this scum element from our streets.
If you kill someone, rape someone, molest a child, attack someone with such ferocity that they might die, then my friend you shouldn't walk the same streets I do.
We should bring back the death penalty as soon as possible.
I'll gladly do it, I'll do it for free. And do you know what: I'll sleep at night.
