Private Thoughts Made Public

According to this news story, as many as 1000 people were killed in a stampede when panic spread over rumours of suicide bombers. If there were actually any suicide bombers in the crowd, and they had managed to blow themselves up, there’s no way they’d have been able to take this many people with them.
Let’s hope this is not the start of a worrying new trend.

This just beggars belief. He doesn’t need a community order and a drug rehabilitation order. He’ll ignore those. Just as he’ll ignore the order to pay compensation to the shop owner. He needs a short sharp shock. As I said in my original post, he should be put into solitary for 20 days (one day for each year of his life) and then after that I reckon he should be put on army basic training. That should get him off the drugs and knock some sense into him. I’m not in favour of just locking people away and letting them fester in their own stupidity, I’m in favour of rehabilitation. Give people an opportunity to shine, and they will. This kid just hasn’t had any opportunities yet.
