Lets hope the same thing happens to them in Prison, Filth.

Why will the law even keep this animals in prison….castrate them..!!!!!!

I see that castration has been mentioned and I would support this 100%.
Obviously there cannott be any doubt about the perpetrator.
But incarceration alone is not a fitting punishment for this crime.
On good behaviour these criminals will be released after only a few years only to be given the chance to reoffend.
But if castrated their twisted sexual urge will be completely removed and therefore rendered harmless.

I am right behind you stray mutt & I would happily do it myself!

Most definitely agree with you Dave

Dave im thinking of the chopping board for these animals…what that be good enough..

I think possibly put them in a prison cell with a Honey Badger and see how long they last. The Honey Badger is the most vicious animal in the World and when it attacks it always goes for the balls

Donal is right, the honey badger is vicious. The honey badger don’t give a f***. These two animals need to suffer, I’m sure lots of people have seen girl with the dragon tattoo. Rapists should be treated accordingly

totally agree.

Green from me, but i would rather he suffered first.

I’d pay for ur bullets to be aimed lower. Lower spine maybe. While your right they should be put down but I think they should suffer and that kid should some day get retribution. If its cruel to test drugs on chimps these are the type of animal who having taken from the human race should be used to further it at their expense

Warren, unfortunately as with the rest if Europe we and the UK are subject to European law. Each referendum that I’m sure most posters here voted yes for gives ultimate Human Rights to the perpetrator and not the victim. I voted against Ahern’s referendum on getting rid of the death penalty. Unfortuanily the rest of the populace were duped towards and ultra liberal EU agenda.

Ya won’t get a red thumb here mate… I would gladly take over from pierpoint… And for those who know me, they know I speak the truth. This poor young fella is ruined for life, no amount of support or councilling will allow him be free of his nightmare…. We would seriously be looking at bringing back the death penalty and before the amnesty brigade start on me, I am talking about putting animals to death who unequivocally have been found 100% guilty of killing another person. These two guys should be chemically castrated and sent o a prison of Siberian standards, not Hilton hotel standards.

In 2001 62% of the Irish public voted to remove the death penalty from the constitution.

Explain what this has to do with the EU Paul please,you absolute clown.

Exactly!

At least they will be tried as adults, unlike Jamie Bulger’s killers, who got new lives. Britain’s laws seem to be able to keep people in for longer, unlike other countries where life is 14yrs

Mary
Maybe they look evil after the fact…trouble is nobody thought they looked evil enough when they dragged this poor young fella across a busy Manchester street on a busy Saturday afternoon, if they had this evil act would never have happened. This lad will find it hard to get over this, it would make you sick to your stomach.

Very good point. A shopping centre is a fairly Brazen way to try this act for the first time….I’d say theyve done it before. Castrate the two of them

Tommy to answer your question as to where in the world a country might practice something like castration ..the answer is easy…Saudi Arabia will comfortable remove a hand for those convicted of theft.it would seem that a majority of contributors would be happy in this case to follow such practices and a logical extension of the thinking in this appalling case would be castration as a standard penalty in all cases of rape.
When this is written down and one has a moment to consider the issues surrounding such demands I have to be courageous enough to face the baying mob and say that Society should not behave in such a premeditated and animal like way. Surely we are better than the evil perpetrators of these appalling crimes.

Total up the amount of bytes they would record in one year and you would get a fright. There would be no point in having really high def recordings if you couldn’t store it for any length of time, a trade off has to be made unfortunately.

Totally agreed. When it comes to the safety of my wee daughter, just give me a shotgun, shovel and afternoon in the Dublin mountains and I’ll gladly save the taxpayer having to “treat” these “people” for their “sickness”.

Once again, roll on the red thumbs from the gobsheens who don’t believe in the punishment fitting the crime. Let’s all hold hands, adjust our chakras and think happy thoughts, because that’ll make those poor, misunderstood “men” realise they’ve been naughty, which will automatically make it all better for the little boy involved. Ignorance, bliss etc etc etc.

So Paul and warren it’s your way or the highway? Agree with death penalty or you’re a pussy?

I’ve a little boy, only 3 years old, and what happened sickens me to my stomach, but I’m sorry, I don’t agree with the death penalty, it’s not a choice I make, it’s just me! I would be all for the perpetrator being tried, and if convicted locked up for life in a lot of cases. I also would advocate the most basic of food and zero privileges, never allowed out of his tiny cell, and never allowed visitors.

This to me personally is the most harsh sentence I can think of while not being eye for an eye. It would completely satisfy me.

If they did that to my children it is my way,I’m sorry but they are not thinking of my child’s future while doing them horrendous things to them…..just look at the lives the priests have destroyed by abusing kids,would you like that to be your child……..

I haven’t thumbed any comments either way but I can offer a possibility.

I for one am uncomfortable with the calls for blood – especially when the death penalty is called for (and more especially when it’s called for as an option to save money versus an appropriately long sentence).

A few have commented on law favouring the perpetrator – it may be hard to swallow but law protects people until they are proven guilty – I’m not defending these guys but just look at the sheer volume of comments which call for blood versus the number who express concern for the victim.

I’m not criticising anyone, I’m just saying that while this is extremely shocking and I hope for as much justice as is appropriate for the victim. I hope too that this horrible event is something he can overcome.

I agree Tommy. The two pictured haven’t even been charged with the crime yet, much less convicted. Let’s wait until they are actually found guilty before passing sentence.

Personally I would still oppose death sentence or castration however, since I have yet to see a judicial system that is 100% fool-proof and accurate. Sending an innocent person to jail would be terrible, but the possibility of killing or mutilating an innocent person to satisfy a public thirst for vengeance, however justified, would be unthinkable.

Lock the perpetrator up and at the end of the normal sentence if there is a risk of them reoffending give them the choice of chemical castration or serving an extended sentence – possibly indefinate so long as they remain a risk of reoffending.

Well they are directly looking for those two so I would assume they are guilty and I think it’s fair enough for people to make that assumption considering they are being chased down and I’m not going to be serving on a jury for their case….

I just see it as pointless to call for vengeance rather than justice while forgetting the victim.

As for the whole castration thing – is there any state in the world which practices this? I think I’ve read before that those who commit sexual assault are likely to re-offend. It’s certainly something I’d like to see some stats on but it seems like a genuine consideration given it could also save other potential victims.

We dont know that they’re guilty though – we’re just assuming that they are because the police are looking for them. We dont know that the police think that these men are the culprits, though its probably a fair assumption, we certainly dont know on what strength of evidence such an assumption of guilt would be based.

Terrible and unthinkable as the crime against this young boy is, it does not set aside the right of judicial due course – the purpose of the law is to punish and rehabilitate the offender, not make more victims.

I just red thumbed your above comment – since not knowing seems to bother you so much. I especially find it hard to see where you draw the link between disagreeing with capital punishment – particularly the somewhat bloodthirsty brand that seems to be popular at the moment – and supporting rape.

Ah I see what you did Graham,you glanced at handful of comments and commented on mine.So basically what you are saying is comments like Lisa Saputo’s comment for example “Poor kid, that’s horrific” deserved the 14 red thumbs her comment got ???

Ah I see what you did Ru Ni Digs – you assumed that because I had responded to you, I must not have responded to anybody else, when in fact I have a couple of other replies posted in this section already.

Suffice to say I don’t feel a particularly strong need to repeat myself – particularly with comments that would equate my abhorrance of violence, whether criminal or state sanctioned, and support for judicial due process with a sympathy for the perpetrator of the violent rape of a child.

In that case Graham,you should contact the Prison Service and inform them of your confidence in the conviction,imprisoning and rehabilitation of pedophiles and rapists and as a result you have no problem with having one living on your street.I would imagine they would be very grateful for your assistance,as there has been a problem in the past with housing such offenders.Let me know how that goes ???

I would also like to add that no such link between “disagreeing with capital punishment and supporting rape” as you put it,was ever made by me.You just assumed that,when in fact as the example in my previous post shows,that giving a red thumb to such a post as “Poor kid, that’s horrific”,is not a comment on capital punishment,either way.It’s actually a comment on the mentality of some people on this site. How are you not getting that ???

I work nights

The banks broke ye country so I had to leave :(
