kids like the 2 scumbags that killed Jamie Bulger should have been strung up simple as that.
Everyone has the ability to reform and that's why I don't believe in it. You shouldn't take away their chance to make good of themselves.
Now, apart from the fact that those ******** were in fact kids themselves, and they certainly knew EXACTLY what they were doing by the way, this also must lead into the fact that even now, one of them has been done for the second time for having kiddie porn on his PC!
So, while everyone has the ability to reform the sad fact remains that they dont often reform at all.
There has been far too many cases when people have served their time and they have come out only to offend again.
No, in my eyes, the moment you turn into a sexual predator of any kind, the moment you do harm unto others, you have crossed the line. You may change, you may become the nicest person in the world, but in my eyes, you simply do not deserve it. You have gone past the line and for that, you need to be removed from society permanently, and prison will simply cost too much.
If you know the price to be paid, then tough.
