Egbert Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 So - another murder arising from mindless violence in Warrington. What sort of a town do we live in? A young man, with his whole life before, struck down before he had a chance to make his mark. And apparently the whole thing started at a party organised for college students in a local club. I repeat - what kind of a town do we live in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Unfortunately the same sort of town that suffers the same kind of problem with a population of around 200,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Sparing the rod, would appear to have produced a generation of sociopaths, with no sense of limitation to their behaviour; add to this a daily diet of violent TV progs and vidio games; plus binge drinking at all hours with little or no policing - and this is the result.

Sparky71 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 As stated previously, the punishment is no deterent. The Guardian article a few weeks ago high-lighted 10 court cases in a typical day at Warrington courts and only one was given a custodial sentence. I personally know of a similar death a couple of years ago where a youth died after a fight in the town centre. The other youth responsible got 15 months and he was out with a year. There should also be a hard hitting TV campaign on say, Friday and Saturday evenings about 7pm, similar to the present one where the lad falls off the scaffolding, telling reminding that a punch up later that evening could result in them being banged up for 15 years.

asperity Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Unfortunately these days the only way to get banged up for 15 years is to say something nasty about the government. You can commit the most horrific crimes but if it doesn't affect the ruling class (Gordon et al) a slap on the wrist is seen to be too harsh if you're not a taxpayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
