Im not normally known to get angry enough to have an ouburst like this, but reading this story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/6170502.stm

has really annoyed me!

I can't belive that after what he has done, he's asking for a reward. Now before anyone says it, Im NOT a racist, in fact I have quite a few Asian friends, but this takes the biscuit!

This happened about 100 yards from my house in Bradford, so I feel connected to the incident in some way, and this muppet asking for compensation has really irratated me!

/rant over.

What with prisoners getting compensation for being forced to go cold turkey or falling out of bed, I think we're really losing the plot here. The law seems severely biased in favour of criminals these days in many cases :sad:

We really need to sort out the way things work in this country.

*I had written a big massive rant but I chose not to post it*

well I hope they dont give him the Â£10,000 and I have to agree with you, our Justice system has gone down the drain, you could run someone over and you'd probably get a week in jail plus compensation.

Bad if he is guilty

But at the moment he is only accused not been found guilty

Our justice sustem mentioned in the last does not automatically assumne guilt because someone is accused

So if he is found guilty then he has a lot of explaining to do

The man is a pratt! What makes me angry is that the BBC and papers have seen fit to run this 'story' and made me waste some of my valuable time reading it! :roll:

Agree wholeheartedly with you Toby, I just dread to think how much more will be done to ease the apparent discomfort that law breakers claim they are facing when in custody or prison.

The victims and families of crime appear to be forgotten and left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives whilst the murderers, rapists, and thieves are given more help than ever.

Lets bin this Human Rights Act for wrongdoers once and for all, in my view, anyone who commits or assists in a crime should no longer have any rights to claim compensation. A better idea altogether would be to confiscate any compensation these criminals are awarded and hand it over to the victims of their crimes, that way they will soon learn what it is like to be a victim themselves when shown the cheque and then told. 'It's no longer yours!!'

Sorry for the rant but I now feel a bit better for it!!

Well what can you realy say about this. ok here is my view.

1) what a low life, i think he has has reaslised that someone has to pay for the crime. so as there is no longer any honour amongst criminals he has ratted out on his fellow criminals.

2) As with most murders someone within a gang has not been able to take the pressure and as always happens the truth comes out

3) the picture most people don't see here is the aftermath of his actions. he has now become a marked man. both on the outside and inside jail. i would not be surprised if there was another article about his own murder.

4) When you phone crime stoppers they don't ask you if you have done the crime, so realy you can't blame them.

5) it's the goverments crime policy that favours the criminal. many moons ago there were tomany do gooders that screamed out against the punisment of criminals and as such the rules changed and now you have the situation that you can't actually punish the criminal for his or her misdoing

if he is found guilty then they should throw the book at him, odd's are he will get a slap on the wrist and don't do it again. but a previous statment states he will be found guilty within the skum court and will be disposed of. that's no consulation to the family of the fallen officer.

Historically, punishments have got more lenient over the centuries. Once justice was excercised without a court or even a judge. At later stages, public torture, disembowlment and execution were permitted. Those were abolished and imprisonment became the most common form and execution in severe cases.

ore recently, execution has been abolished, but in the last 50 years we have gone from that to serious reduction in sentence terms, shifting the emphasis from justice and punishment to "rehabilitation of offenders". Whilst this might work in some cases, in many cases, short sentences, low or unenforceable fines and so called "community punishments" have made our society more namby-pamby than our evolution in the same time should have permitted.

True, we are a far less barberous people than once we were, but in the last 50 years, the introduction of human rights laws and related legislation, has caused the reduction in severity of punishments to overtake the improvement exhibited by society in its behaviour. Thats my HO anyway.
