I'm sorry but this child killer deserves everything that is coming to him.

People who post replies such as "two wrongs don't make a right" or "he got punished by are justice system" and other similar sounding comments should really think hard before typing.

Wrong, everyone should.

SlugForAButt · 23 Mar 2010 at 02:15

Or howabout "don't praise his attacker because he's probably in there for the same sort of crap!".
Would you people be still wanting to shake his hand if he turned out to be Jon Venables?

From what I read and know from documentaries on TV, there is actually a sort of code of honour with criminals, so child killers/rapist are usually picked on/bullied behind bars.

So the guy who did this was probably not even in the same class of criminal.

neoboy · 23 Mar 2010 at 02:29

Yeah, maybe he's just an ordinary killer.

My God! Are you really as stupid as you sound? You probably also believe that all the Irish on the Titianic were riverdancing when the ship went down because it was in the film!
Do you think you get sent to high security Frankland for white collar crimes?
Bloody hell, you are basing your decision on guesswork and primetime tv rather than knowledge.
And you are allowed to vote...

I love the way these criminals like to look down on another. The other guy was probably a murderer but that's ok because he didn't kill a child. So he went for a bit of notoriety by trying to take huntley.

I wouldn't want to shake his hand, i'd like him to leave jail and stop being as equal a leech on society and my taxes.

You should try and get some sort of tax relief so you can take a course on how to use the apostrophe.

AH, so rather than correct him and make him aware of what ACTUALLY happens, you just have a moan about how wrong he is?

If you're gonna have a moan about how some one is wrong, at least mention what exactly it is that was wrong.

As opposed to those who post diatribe like you calling for vigilante justice? Right because that is what a civilised society needs.

What next? Oh won't somebody please think of the children or If you had kids you'd think differently or some other tripe?

It's amazing how many people support such a revenge or vigilante based justice system and yet somehow think they can take the moral high ground.

Code of honour? What sort of code of honour do you think someone in a high security prison who is willing to slit someones throat has? You seem to have a highly romanticised view of prison.

High security prison, willing to slit someones throat. This is not someone to be admired.

The authorities should do all they can to protect Huntley because he is in a living hell.
He's attempted suicide 3 times and hopefully he'll never succeed.
He's probably got at least 30/40 years of his personal hell - now that is part way to justice.

I hope Ian Huntley dies soon, I still think to this day my nan would still be alive if all the nurses at the MK hospital were treating my nan rather then Ian Huntley in the next room. I hate this man, for what he has done and for he has been doing.

EDIT: I think you are lying, you were expecting people to join your lynch mob. That much is pretty obvious!

*sighs whilst rolling eyes*
As I've already said I wrote the original post to provoke a response, to see which side of the fence people are really on.
Aside from the Moron and Idiot, very constructive and mature I might add, I think it provoked the response that I was after.
I was not after people joining a lynch mob I was after peoples opinion as I had had a fairly even response yesterday once it had been announced on the news.
I wrote the op in such a way as to get immediate responses and it worked.....almost all on here wanted nothing to do with being in a lynch mob which I find kind of comforting in this day and age.....
If you make a statement that way you will get equally straight statements back.

I don't know why some of you are giving FatBoyObese a hard time. I'm pretty sure 'I'd like to shake that mans hand' simply translates to 'I am pleased Huntly is having a hard time in prison.' I don't think he actually hails the attacker as a hero figure regardless of his other crimes and literally wants to shake his hand.

I reckon some people just like to take things literally to cause an argument.

^^^^^^^^
Eureka........thanks

This chap and others recently are receiving far too much media attention for my liking. We appear to big up these perpetrators and remember them more than the victims. How can a victims family ever have justice and rest when things like this keep hitting the head-lines. All the more reason to bring in execution where the 100% certain then things like this can't happen. It's the only true justice.

Banzai_Joe · 23 Mar 2010 at 08:45

Rehabilitation is certainly NEVER an option for people like Huntley.
Jesus, rehab doesn't seem to work on lesser criminals; drug dealers, burglars etc. It certainly wouldn't work on a child killer; they are a special breed of sick**** that should NEVER EVER be released or treated.
I would like him to suffer...slowly until he dies [of old age]....i don't mind paying my share of tax knowing that his twisted soul will be tormented until his demise. He tried suicide before didn't he? **** him, let him rot!

I'll spare no compassion for this sub-human scum.....absolutely zero.....and i'll not feel the least bit bad about it!

If you knew what his attacker was in for, you would not shake his hand.

Huntley is a convicted child murderer and has been given a 40 year minimum tarif and it is likely he will never be released.

In not condoning vigilante justice I would like to think that is what makes me more civilised than the mob mentality that inevitably pops up when such things happen.

Anyone who thinks that Huntley's incarceration is an easy way out really doesn't understand what a tinderbox the likes of Frankland really is. He has killed two young girls, he is universally hated, he is a marked man, he has tried to kill himself at least 3 times and he has another 33 years minimum to think about it.

Isn't that a more fitting punishment than bowing to mob justice and having him swing from a rope ?

JayToukon · 23 Mar 2010 at 08:50

Death sentences might be an easy escape for people like Huntley but it cuts out the risk of him every doing anything like that again. People with the mental ability to commit a crime like that will never be fully recovered and safe to let back into any society. At the end of day, we're pumping money into the prison system to keep them alive, in cigs, feed them, clean them....

I think in some cases, capital punishment should definitely be brought back. Huntley in my opinion is one of these cases. As well as the Jamie Bulger guy - who gets a protected identity then released back into society - look what happened there.

Seems fair to me so i agree with Dimple.

Quite surprised to see a Pedophile defended though but then we are All entitled to our Own opinions aren't we.

Hate mob - no! rope - yes..

Understand your comments 100% but there is always the financial burden to his imprisonment and the open reminder for the victims family that he is still alive. It must be painful for them when headlines like this break.
