Peter Sutcliffe

[sir.prize]

The Yorkshire Ripper has had a heart attack . . . .


. . . . oh dear!

[ummmm]

Yeah....I read that this morning. I can't say I feel any sympathy.

[sandyRoe]

I hope he recovers and goes on to lead a long life. Then each and every day of it he could look about him and think that this is all there will ever be for him, confinement in an asylum

[sir.prize]

Correction: He has allegedly had a heart attack.

[janbee]

Yeah, sad eh?

[youngmafbog]

If I had my way he wold have had a neck attack years ago.

[pixie373]

"neck attack"- that's funny :-)

[hc4361]

I hope he lives another 30 years, every day in fear of another attack from his fellow inmates and every day in painful suffering.
Death is too good for him.

[TWR]

What heart?

[pusskin]

Well said hc. Hope he lives to a hundred locked in his little cosy room in hospital.

[lozp]

i didnte think he had a heart to be honest

[andy-hughes]

The immediate reaction for a number of people on receiving this news is to hope Sutcliffe either dies in agony, or perhaps lives on in agony.

I find this stance disappointing.

He is criminally insane, and is where he belongs, in a secure psychiatric institution - so gloating over any suffering is really not appropriate.

What is interesting is that he has become a Jehovah's Witness.

I am trying to resist a comment on that!

[guilliebrougues]

me to andy-hughes and I hope he needs a blood allow him to live longer.

[TWR]

He was that insane Andy, the police could not catch him, a very devious man.

[guilliebrougues]

sorry andy-hughes I meant a blood transfusion which goes against J.W's .

[andy-hughes]

TWE - "He was that insane Andy, the police could not catch him, a very devious man."

Deviousness and insanity are not necessarily connected, you don;t have to have one to be the other.

Not sure if you are old enough to have been around when the Ripper murders took place - I was, and I remember it well.

For a start, police proceedures were nothing like as comprehensive as they are now. There was no internet, no DNA, no computerised records, and little sharing of information between different police forces.

Plus, the entire operation was completely derailed by a hoax caller, a Geordie who taunted the police and sent them off in completely the wrong direction, leaving Sutcliffe to kill three more times.

Sutcliffe was actually interviewed and released twice during the enquiries, and he was only caught in the end because of a dodgy numberplate, so it was actually complete luck that he was aprehended when he was.

Allowing for that context, devious as Sutcliffe may have been, he didn't have to work too hard to avoid capture.

andy, there is a world of difference in me hoping he suffers for many years and me voting for a system that made sure he suffered for may years.

[andy-hughes]

hc4361 - "andy, there is a world of difference in me hoping he suffers for many years and me voting for a system that made sure he suffered for may years."

Is there?

Do you not have the courage of your convictions?

I do not think he should suffer inhumanely, nor would i vote for a system that made it happen.

How could you believe in suffering, and not implement it if you could?

[ToraToraTora]

did they ever catch the geordie hoax caller bloke?

[gness]

Bit close to me.....he killed the daughter of a couple I know....I saw how they aged.......all their hopes for their child just setting out on her new life destroyed......I saw the pain and sadness in their faces every day.....

Live long and suffer is what I wish for him.....
