Justice seems to have been done at last. Rest in peace Lee.

[emmie]

i think everyone wishes that.

It couldn't have really have been any other sentence.

FTAO AOG

// Mobile phone footage of Michael Adebolajo explaining why he killed soldier Lee Rigby has been seen by the jury in his trial at the Old Bailey.

The footage showed Mr Adebolajo, 28, saying: "The only reason we have killed this man today is because Muslims are dying daily by British soldiers."

In the video, he adds: "It's an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." //

Which is why I wrote...

// He would never 'fight for his country' because his country was killing innocent civilian muslims in Iraq. He committed the murder to right that wrong - an eye for an eye. //

I look forward to my apology AOG :-)

No intenstion in giving these evil pieces of sht publicity, but when you think that there are hundreds of decent people within the UK that can not feed their families, can not heat their homes, pensioners have to choose between food / heat, then you have these dregs of human evil life going to prison, been fed, never to have a cold room, can watch whatever they like on TV, get paid to do work, at times have the right to demand their case be reviewed, then you have the family of Lee, no Dad for their Children, no Husband, no Son, call life justice, I would gladly pull the handel to rid this verim of life.

[berniecuddles]

well said TWR totally agree

[emmie]

it could well have been, they could have got a determined sentence, or time in a mental health hospital, secure unit. The fact is justice was served.

[emmie]

there can't be many who haven't seen the footage Gromit, i have watched it any number of times, and i am sure others have seen it at least once, and read of the case in the papers, as to the motives.

[Gromit]

Yes Emmie,

Most people remember that chilling video. I'm not holding my breath for my apology.

[emmie]

and quite frankly i would rather some didn't have a ruck on this thread.

[emmie]

i was concerned that had it gone on, it could have been pulled.

[anneasquith]

I don't quite understand why they both didn't get full life in prison.

[emmie]

i think it was something to do with the second guys age, i am not sure, but that is what i thought the reporter said.

[naomi24]

I think the judge said the elder was beyond rehabilitation. I assume he thinks the younger isn't. Nevertheless he will be in his late 60s before his release from prison. I would still plump for a short, sharp lethal injection for both but since that isn't an option, well done judge. Those two have been removed from society for a very long time.

Gromit

Yes I also saw that on TV, and I apologise to you regarding the way I addressed your post, but by the very way you had worded your post, it would appear that those were your words of explanation for the deeds of this killer.

Perhaps we can now get on with a more constructive debate, and I also hope in the future that you yourself won't take me to task for how I sometimes word my threads or answers.

[anotheoldgit]

Pity there isn't still a sentence to 'hard labour' perhaps they could then be shipped over to Iraq or Afghanistan to repair all the constructive damage that all those drone attacks of ours have supposedly created?

[mushroom25]

at the end of his sentencing remarks, mr justice Sweeney said "I make a Notification Order for the maximum of 30 years".

anybody? sorry if it was asked earlier in the thread, but I didn't spot it.

[emmie]

no i didn't, as far as i heard, as it was pretty close, the sentence handed to Adebolajo was life, and Adebawale 45 years, going on his age which is 22.

It was said that the one whole got a whole life tariff was the leader and played a bigger part.
