You're seriously not suggesting that this so so called 'hard' family called Adams are in anyway better than the thugs who killed Ben are you?
As far as I can see scum is scum, and I'd happily class the Adams family who apprantly are involved in violent racketeering and drug trafficking and have been linked to 25 murders. as being just as bad as the 3 youths in question.
I look forward to hearing you call white killers 'savages' some day, oldgit. The trouble is, when killers are white, newspapers don't bother running pictures of them, lest they offend the sensibilities of other delicate whites - have you noticed? Still, you might like to consider this couple:
I met one of the Adams brothers in a bar some years ago and we had a disagreement about something silly. We ended up having a drink together. Whether he would have been so tolerant of me if I'd been male, I cannot say.
I would consider the threats against the three convicted thugs to be very serious indeed and would expect the prison service to protect them if necessary, regardless of how I feel about them personally.
My favourite quote from the article; 'They have no links to the Kinsella family, but its mob leaders were said to be so horrified by the senseless killing of the 16-year-old in their patch that they put up the reward.'
Obviously the Adams family have strong beleifs on when murder is 'righteous' like when someone owes you money, has spilt your pint or looked at you funny etc.
AOG I think your assuming that because the murderers were coloured the white inmates would take revenge. However the higher incidence of black crimes (about 5:1) means there are many black prisoners compared with the white population serving time.
