Pretty ******ing barbaric is right. But I'm referring to what they did not what some posters said they'd like to do.

My personal belief is that they should be taken outside and shot in the head. No fuss, no ritual, no bills for their care for the rest of their lives. As far as I'm concerned they threw back my concern for their welfare when they did what they did.

Well I break a lot of hearts naturally. It's what I do - so don't think you're special!

How many atrocities have they actually committed on our streets though? We kill more of our own people through poverty than any islamic terrorist has ever managed either alone or combined. We're so appalling blinkered by the latest shiny news item where everyone can join together in mutual rage, that we fail to see just how equally bad we can be.

I understand that most people would just want to put a bullet in their heads, but you're all wrong. There is no middle ground on this where I'm concerned. Human rights are human rights and need to be fought for and protected for everyone. Yes, even the most despicable kind of person we can all imagine.

It's weird, because all I'm actually advocating is that we don't either murder or torture them. Who'd have known that would ever be a disagreeable statement?

You mean our Government not us as the average joe on the streets.

But I agree that our Government is vile and corrupt but it's hard to really punish them when there is no actual evidence behind their corruption.

After they've been raped and had their food pissed on, we can all pat ourselves on the back that our moral superiority has kept them alive.

My point was that the establishment of this country does far more harm, and causes more death than Islamic terrorists ever could, yet isolated events like this make us ignore what happens everyday.

So far as I remember, the establishment has never run over a member of the public going about their business, stabbed them and attempted to hack off their head before raising a firearm toward the police. I wonder at your reluctance to acknowledge what a freakishly dreadful event this was and take the focus off a pair of dangerous, murdering scumbags who, aside from everything else they've done, cast a very long dark shadow over honest, law-abiding Muslims.

One of your more giddy posts I think, Jesus.

Not for the first time in this thread, you have completely missed the point. Why wonder at my reluctance to acknowledge what a dreadful freakishly event this was, when I've actually referenced a number of times how dreadful this crime was? So wonder no more.

My only issue, is the completely abhorrent revenge killing/torture being called for in this thread. That's it. I'm not excusing the killing, I'm not ignoring it, and I'm certainly not giving cover to Islamic terrorism.

Murder and torture are equally wrong, whether committed by a so-called soldier of Allah, or whether it's done on my behalf by a government, for the sole purpose of revenge. That this should be so controversial is completely incomprehensible to me.

Punish these men for their crimes within the legal framework that exists. Nothing more, nothing less.

in a nut shell, good people have to kill bad people to keep the rest of the good people safe.

bad people kill good people and good people kill good people without wanting to,

all this eye for an eye making the whole world blind is utter nonsense.

the human race has survived for thousands of years killing each other, it can be with a gun or a knife, or starvation.

I don't quite agree with you Sheriff we aren't savages anymore we shouldn't live by those standards.

The fact is these people were given trial and sentenced within the system of our law and that's good enough for me.

Making examples of these people will turn them into martyrs and that's exactly what they want. Sentence them like you would sentence any British citizen and let them rot away without ever gaining any more publicity.

I think we'll all be pretty safe if they're locked up in prison, so anything extra to that is purely for revenge, and not punishment.

It's not utter nonsense at all, and if you claim it is, then you need to expand on your reasons for it. We have laws in place to deal with criminals, that don't include murder.

The last point doesn't make any sense to me, because it treats the starting point and conclusion as the same, regardless of what happens in the middle. We know better now, and our morality has demonstrably evolved.

Because tbf while I hate all the parties in this country, they can't solve all of our poverty issues over night.

Terrorists however and this is from any country, deliberately go out of their way to hurt innocent people for petty reasons a lot of the time, and in this case they did it in the worst form of cowardice ever, so yes if they are gonna be kept alive then they need to suffer more than the victim did before he died.

Good points Mock, what these 2 did was for me beyond forgiveness and beyond any kind of accepted behaviour anywhere.

It is obscene that the family of Lee Rigby have to live with this loss, in such a savage and barabaric way that it was done,for the rest of their lives.
These miserable rotten excuses for human beings wil get all they need for the rest of their lioves except for the fact they will not be able to have their freedom.

For me that is a very tiny price they are going to have to pay for the rotten savage and pure evil of the murder they committed and the way they went about it too.
