With regards to the Rhys Jones case. It made a change to see a human being as a judge. The sentence handed out is possibly the only one he could have handed out. I also think its a shame how deluded these kids are with regards to handling guns and ganglaw. This little boy was killed because he was aiming for a member of a rival gang who he detests.
Many questions have to be asked. But one for me is this, how is it, these kids are able to get there hands on a gun in the first place?
The arguments for the kid firing the gun, and lets not forget he is a kid, is he wasnt aiming for Rhys. The argument for his girlfriend "He is a hero, he didnt do it". There is a total ignorance there. And not just on the kids part. How are we expected to stop this kind of thing happening? How are we expected to stop kids being killed, gangs having weapons (teenage gangs especially), and terrorists.
We live in a country were the laws are so lax, so fragile, that those who challenge them have the upper hand rather than those who abide by them.
The simple question should be. If the civilised people of britain went to war, fed up with the laws introduced and the repercussions of those laws, if the people of britain all said enoughs enough, we are sick of being treated liked idiotic animals, we are tired of bowing to teenagers (because you, the government stopped us disciplining them), we are sick of being bombed by terrorists (because you, the government allowed them here) , we are sick of young kids being killed (because everything is based on budgets, or indeed cost effective methods which save money caused by, you guessed it, the government) and said, thats it, I see a gang walk down my street they will be met by my gang, my gang being the street itself, if you are a known trouble maker I will beat the living cack out of you, better you than my son, nephew or niece, why not? isnt that in our human right? to protect our own?
Human Rights should exist. They should remain in place. It cannot be all one way traffic...can it?
