Predictably, the usual suspects are always there ready to defend the indefensible and sod the victims and their families. Dangerously, they actually believe in the codswallop they come out with it, that all human beings are fundamentally redeemable when history has shown us that this is patently not true. How exactly does one redeem oneself having deprived another human being of their life? That human being's one and only life has been taken, left unfulfilled and unlived, and their loved ones are left with a lifetime of sorrow and pain.

There are some crimes IMO that are beyond redemption and beyond forgiveness and I don't give a flying ***** for the apologists and their liberal, so called "civilised" opinions which sadly have led to a society where justice has been turned on its head so that the rights and wellbeing of the perpetrators of crime have been set above those of their victims.

Every evil act is explained away and excuses made for the most abhorrent and vile behaviours - no wonder no-one is made to take responsibility for their actions any more when it can always be blamed on someone or something else. I wonder how liberal and forgiving any one of you would be if your dearest loved one had been randomly and brutally murdered like this poor man.
