well said hoobity boobity

If we cant hang them by the neck, how about hanging them by something else

Simple answer from me - no

If there's doubt that the person in question is likely to kill again - then, yes, obviously. Protecting society has to be our first priority.

But I'm with Lynda on this - you can't have a situation where someone decides to take the law into their own hands. I quite understand how he felt, but we have to let the law take its own course.

If we confuse revenge with justice, we take a very rocky path.

out of the world more like!!!! what justice is that

If after all the hard evidence is heard by the jury...not only for murder but for other henious crimes such as rape, child abuse etc etc...and that person is found guilty and the mandantory sentence is life... then yes life means life!!

regardng the man who was jailed for beating up the burglar - I really didn't realise the extent to which he went in attacking him - I've changed my mind on that one and feel he did deserve a prison sentence - that really was a couple of steps too far

Depends on a lot of things for me - couldn't give a blanket answer. I wonder how many people who have said yes would feel differently if it was their son or daughter who had been sentenced to life.
