Still thinking...
But this story, just posted on the BBC website, is on topic.

Not funny, just totally reprehensible. Much like the utter bastards that drove past some poor woman being raped in broad daylight in the middle of the street the other day.

*Shakes head in sadness at the human condition*

I get the feeling
that this QOTW is going to be a real down-beat one.

What the twunge
Is wrong with people? Add to those you mention the guy who pissed on a dying disabled woman. Pure evil.

i see your ignored rape.
And raise you a 'man who abused and sexually assaulted his 7 week old daughter

The daughter who was visited by 30 careworkers in her life, about 1 every 2 days. And no one thought anything was wrong? Not right.

-sigh-
Despite the unlikelihood of it ever occurring, we should instigate a system in this country whereby police can not only respond immediately to these sort of things without warrants and all that red tape, but can immediately deal whatever punishment they feel is necessary BEFORE the subsequent prison sentence.

We believe that everyone has the right to a fair trial.

No.

Plenty of people do not deserve it, and yet we see murderers, rapists and paedophiles serving sentences that are too short, in prisons far too cushy, and then get 'legal rights' for anonymity after their sentence is finished.

Gone are the days when a lynch mob could kill the bastard and the local police would just smile quietly from the side.

...

Sorry, this quickly became the post of the week to cause my blood to boil. Feel free to ignore my rant.

linky
i looked at the bbc site and also read the article on the 'father' that abused his baby as mentioned above.

I wish I was religous so at least I could believe that fukcer will burn agonisingly for eternity.

Apologies for getting everyone so heated...
I haven't read the other link, nor do I want to; I think my already queasy stomach would give up the ghost.

People are scum. Except the ones who aren't.

(That just about covers it I think).

@ HomeWithTheDownies
Everyone deserves a fair trial. Seriously, if there's no evidence of wrongdoing (and, lets face it, there'd have to be with a 7-week old kid no matter if the abuse was violent, sexual, whatever) then they shouldn't be convicted of the crime.

If there is ANY evidence they should probably be put under surveilance- covert and overt- to see if they do it again.

If we get beyond "reasonable doubt" level, the perpetrator should be absolutely crucified for it. In public. Nails through the hands and a few through the arms to keep them up there as well crucified.

We can only hope that the 7-week old didn't know what was going on and won't remember (though she'll doubtless be reminded throughout her life by anyone who's read that story).

Sadly, the kid died.

In response to '...whereby police can not only respond immediately to these sort of things without warrants and all that red tape'

I'm sorry, but that's balls. Absolute balls. You can't just run around confiscating people's kids with no regulations.
