Wouldn't It Have Been Better For The Police To Have Let This Rapist Return To Ethiopia?

Tricky one this but:

Now the taxpayer will have to pay for his food and keep for the next six years, and then go through the the trouble and expense in an effort to deport him back to Ethiopia.

I think the premise you offer in your OP is quite ridiculous too.

Balances us out somewhat.

[Spicerack]

The point is, and it's a good one, is that under AOG's rules when other countries catch British rapists, murderers, etc. they should just let them return to Britain. (Untried) Out of sight out of mind.

[Spicerack]

Should we have let him go home if he had murdered his victim, aog?

[retrocop]

How about banging him up for six years and he works 7 days a week to pay for board and lodgings. No work. No food.That alleviates the poor British tax payer and he can then be returned to Ethiopia knowing he has done a good job for the UK
Only snag is someone will be up in arms saying he is stealing the bread out of a poor unemployed dole sponger.

As I have already pointed out being returned to Britain is no punishment.

Why else do some want to risk their lives to voluntary come over here?

Given the choice of being locked up in our jails for such a short time rather than be sent back, anyone in their right mind should know which option they would choose.

[Mamyalynne]

You are now adding caveats to your original idea, which indeed makes it all the more illogical.

[ummmm]

Clearly more experience than you, AOG!!!

Where was he born?

[THECORBYLOON]

What like are the gaols in Ethiopia?

Now you are beginning to clutch on straws.

One he didn't murder his victim and two if he had he would have been sentenced to life, that is a vast amount of years out of his life and not the paltry 6 years (most likely less), that this monster has been sentenced to.

[Mamyalynne]

AOG, he would have walked free under your system.

His sentence isn't long enough, that much is true.

If you want to report a moderator, then for goodness sake do it properly and stop dragging it onto every thread you can - it's very disruptive.

[Spicerack]

I'm sure he'll be sent back to Ethiopia anyway. He can hardly claim to be in fear of his life, can he?

[ummmm]

//The rapist, of Feltham, Middlesex,//

Does this mean he was born in the UK?

Wasn't me who added these.

The "L" word

"What if he had murdered his victim"?

Somehow I don't think that is anything to brag about!!!!!!

At the time that he was apprehended, he had not been convicted of any crime.

[anotheoldgit]

Not necessarily.

Who did you address that to?

[Spicerack]

Some of my comments could be in error. I had presumed he was from Ethiopia. It's possible he wasn't.
