Rapist threatened
November 24, 2014 at 1:39 pm
I week ago on my thread about rapists I ended up talking about paramilitaries inforcing their "justice" on criminals, well it so happens that a news article about rapists being threatened turned up this week.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ir...t-30178807
The public and paramilitaries are described as "baying for his blood"
What are your thoughts on this?

I'm not a fan of vigilante justice, personally.

Why are you making a new thread to have the same discussion? I posted in the other thread that I think it's wrong. Chas posted that he thinks it should be illegal but he'd do it if the victim were someone important to him.

Rape is a particularly heinous crime meriting particular heinous punishment. In NO case should a mob determine that punishment.
Whether he committed this rape or not, Hyland has only been charged, not convicted (though I admit to not fancying his chances in court). The public and those semi-savages, the paras, are 'baying for the blood' of a man who, as of this moment, is innocent of any crime.
When and if he is found guilty, I don't want him turned over to a mob. I want him to spend long, long years in a dank, uncomfortable prison. I want him to be denied civil rights. I want him to pay restitution to his victim. I want him to suffer and suffer and suffer for what he did. But at the hands of the law.

What are your thoughts on this? Add them to the list of people that need to be incarcerated? Supposing, of course, that they aren't just blowhards? They making threats?

Yeah, incarcerating NI paras only works with the Catholic ones. Prods get a pass.

Tis. Things used to be worse when the cops were the Royal Ulster Constabulary - that they were in league with Protestant/Loyalist paramilitaries was an open secret. Things are marginally better now that it's the Police Service of Northern Ireland, but only marginally.

Crowds are stupid.
In one particularly stupid incident a Paediatrician was attacked because a crowd thought it was the same as being a paedophile.
