Makes you wonder what is happening to this country.

Is it drugs, drink, boredom or what ?

You cannot blame drink, drugs or bordom for any of these Incidents. All vicious attacks by people with no regard for human life. One can only assume that such evil is inherent to these people. Equally horrific crimes have always existed, it is nothing new, I'm sure 40 years ago people were expressing similar sentiments as you with regard to Hindley and Brady's crimes.

Sign of the times, would the death penalty put people off doing such things....worth a try maybe?

As pink floyd would say 'It's just a momentary lapse of reason'

Leg....you make too many typo's to correct others.

But my point is....CB is for petty bitching. Let the news section be.

[ELVIS68]

^^^^^^^^^ Best reply I`ve seen for ages

Anybody willing to make a donation to send Leg-of-Lamb privately to a junior school course to learn how to spell? LOL.

[paraffin]

Simple, straightforward reason:

There is no credible or viable deterrent in this country to dissuade the scum from perpetrating such atrocities in the first place.

[tamborine]

There's more to intelligence than spelling! A lot of successful people cant spell, else why have secretaries.

People have always been horrific to each other. In the old days it was even the weekly entertainment - they called it 'justice'. Now it's just put on the internet. Humans are so awful, aren't we? I wish we weren't, but that's not going to help is it (shrugs).

[tamborine]

Too much testerone!

[NiceCupOfTea]

Dunno - women were involved too you know. In history, even if not in all of the above.

[jake-the-peg]

Why hasn't someone piped up and blamed immigration for this yet?

Standards are slipping!

Equally horrific crimes have always existed, it is nothing new,

Maybe they have Gromit but not in the numbers or in the horrific ways that we seem to have today.

Yes there was the Ripper, Hindley and Brady, 'the acid bath murderer' John Haigh, Doctor Crippin etc. But these names have gone down over the years in the annals of crime.

But how many of those that take place now almost daily, will be remembered even next year?
