No more pain and suffering than poor souls with terminal illnesses, as medical norms dictate.

I don't think anyone can be reduced to his level, even if they "celebrated" this. But while I can understand a lot of the views on here, he was a ver sick, mentally ill man and should have been stopped by other people. Tragedy all round.

[agchristie]

Best not be premature.

Remember the Lockerbie bomber who was supposedly on his last legs?

[JimF]

He should have died in 1981 - on the end of a rope.

I know the joy of seeing a daughter gain her place at university and share with her the plans for a new life and future.
I can’t begin to know how it feels to open the door to the police bringing the news of how my daughter had been tortured and killed by Sutcliffe.
The later agony of knowing my daughter could still be alive if the police hadn’t been so incredibly inept and if John Humble had never been born.

I don’t want Sutcliffe to have a quick and painless death......whatever he feels and for how long will be a drop in the ocean compared to what my friends and others have suffered...and still are. I really, really want him to suffer long and painfully.

This object should have been strung up many years ago.
All the expense of keeping it alive, the resources squandered upon prolonging it’s existence, wasted.

[JimF]

The point about ineptitude of the Yorkshire constabulary and officers from other forces is well made. The documentary where the junior officer tells how he could have arrested Sutcliffe two years earlier but for the overbearing demeanour of his so-called superiors is just heart-breaking.

[gness]

That is heart-breaking indeed, Jim.

I’m not sure about “stringing him up”, David.....that would have been too quick an end for me.

[JimF]

Consider how much his incarceration has cost the taxpayer, though.

[gness]

I appreciate that, Jim........but this really is one man I want to have to suffer as much as possible.
I do know that there are others who have suffered in the way Sutcliffe’s victims and their families have....but when it’s someone who had been the girlfriend of your stepson and you see her parents having to live with what happened until the day they die it twists the knife just that bit more....well for me.

[JimF]

Well, I don't have the same personal connection to the events, so I can't really argue with you.

[venator]

do you think Shariah law is better than our legal system in this case?
Sutcliffe would be handed over to the families of his victims for justice. Blunt penknives, anyone?

[JimF]

Of course not! That's barbaric. A clean, swift death is what was required.

[gness]

I was about to post....of course not....too......then I gave it some thought.

If I had had to listen to or read Sutcliffe’s statement about how he killed my daughter/son and what he then did with the body I’d not say no to being in a room with him....his hands and legs tied....and a knife in my hand. It wouldn’t be quick.

[JimF]

You mean something like this? From about 39:05.

[Fatalbertfixer]

A short drop with a sharp stop would have saved the tax payer a fortune.good riddance.

[gness]

Can’t view on here, Jim. Will look later. X

[JimF]

It may be nannied off by then! Put "Spartacus Empty Hands" into YouTube and fast forward to 39:05.

[gness]

Okay. ....

[anneasquith]

I care not a bit about his health or death. He is incarcerated that’s the only thing I care about .
