Shropshire Murder

[sir.prize]

Post-mortem tests reveal that 17-year-old Georgia Williams died as a result of pressure being applied to her neck.

If only the same fate could be dealt to her killer.

So sir.prize

you like the idea of what he did to poor Georgia

so much so, you would like to replicate it

that's a bit sick isn't it?

I've kind of half followed this story - is there a motive yet? I beleive they were friends?

[Zeuhl]

BTW

believing one is entitled to feel more outraged than other people, simply because one lives nearby is rather exaggerating one's own sense of significance to the case

[Gromit]

The last person to be spouting "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" was someone who had just hacked someone's head off with a machete.

So, are you of a similar mindset?

"Sir.p...my mate was murdered not far from where I live. Don't assume!"

A bit like this one from another contributor earlier, Zeuhl? Fair's fair.

[ummmm]

What has that comment got to do with it?

I was answering this comment by Sir.p //But if she could experience the feeling within our close neighbourhoods, her views might be more sympathetic.//

He expected me to suddenly be sympathetic to his views on capital punishment because he lived in the neighbourhood.

I was just pointing out that my mate was murdered, and I still didn't think that capital punishment would be an acceptable punishment.

i think you'll find if you re-read the thread carefully that the post you quote was a response to sir.prize's assertion that living nearby elevated the effect of the crime

and then refuted it

[douglas9401]

Hands up, I need to concentrate more.

I apologise for my error

[Zeuhl]

Thank you douglas

graciously done :-)
