RIP Winnie Johnson

PMKeates, you sound like you pity this sick son of a ***** a little too much. I'm afraid whatever genetics or life experiences he has had still do not grant him my pity. Every man is able to make his own decisions and in doing so should suffer the consequences of their actions, such as those of Brady. As a country, we spend too much time feeling sorry for those who make bad decisions and try to change them into the good people they'll never be. Brady didn't simply draw the short straw, he tortured and killed because he enjoyed it.

They should do the Mark Chapman on things like this, no documentaries, no media, no one ever hears anything about the murderers again, ever.
They just go into a secure institution, and are never ever heard from again.

Not sure if two movies, a book, a couple of TV interviews and a host of newspaper interivews is "no media". :D

Why do I pity him too much? With pity, sadness and disappointment we can afford him a minimum level of human decency without conding his actions. He should not be forgiven.
 
Even in a thread as tragic as this you have people trying to win Internet points, I am embarrassed for you.


Once again RIP Winnie.

It's sad that people have such little control over their emotions that the death of somebody that have never met, albeit in the centre of a tragic situation, causes them to want to abolish basic human rights and return to medieval justice practices, with all the Internet hardman postulating what they'd do with their "five minutes in a room with Brady". They don't have a clue, and for good reason will never have any input.

Absolutely. However, it's a fairly understandable human response would you not agree?. Eye for an eye and all that. Although I'm not advocating torture of any individual as a means to an end. But that's not because I'm all 'touchy, feely' and don't think Brady deserves some payback for the horrific way he murdered those children, moreover because it's completely unrealistic to suggest so, because from a legal/law standpoint it's just never going to happen, not in my lifetime and most probably not in the lifetimes of some of you young folks here.

He's an evil, twisted monstrous piece of work and nothing is going to change that. But no one is going to walk into his cell tomorrow with their ACME Spanish Inquisition kit and extract information out of him. Because whether we like or agree to it or not, he has basic human rights that by law require to be respected. I think most people posting 'sort him out with the thumbscrews' understand the basic premise behind that, although understandably few agree with or respect the idea. Human emotion often over rules life's realistic practicalities. This is no exception.

Possibly but most people couldn't name who killed John Lennon.
He did it for the fame.
He hasn't got that, and in a way I feel those who published and those who interviewed him should not have done so.
