I haven't said anything that either undermines or is disrespectful to #75 & #76, and I fully respect and understand their view ??? My response was to you and I believe it to be a fair one and without the overwhelming desire to be patronising.

Calm down, talk about rambling and being febrile ??? Can one not play devils advocate in a discussion anymore? Debates would be pretty dull if people dare not make thought provoking comments. Sorry that I made you and others feel so riled by this and that the Becky Watts case isn't worthy of...

It hasn't, the conversation is fluid and you brought up the burden of collective conscience which relates to anyone ordering it or carrying it out as an order, family or otherwise. I went on to say as an example; to order the execution of someone via drone strike doesn't seem to have been...

Yes I understand that argument, and also psychological burden put on the person carrying it out. However we can target British ISIL members with a drone without too much of a conscience.

I don't see a problem with the victims’ relatives having the final say on execution in extreme case like this. It's too easy to get all righteous about the principles if one is not directly affected. Life is about consequences and he knew he could carry out this horrific act without any.

Do behave, nothing to think about, it's not about "really disliking" someone. You might weep for him if he was executed, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

I'm not recommending it, it's for discussion, and I am sure this case will bring up the debate again in the UK. Some would say that it would be a deterrent which could be a good thing. Becky's dad said he would like to see him hang for it and that is why I brought it up.

Not really. It's not a robbery gone wrong or diminished responsibility. It was premeditated, sexually motivated and involves the dismembering of a body.

I'm not sure if they actually knew what was going on.

Such a sad and evil story, but surely with extreme cases like this there should be justification for capital punishment? especially when the accused pleads not guilty and drags a family through an extended living nightmare. Killing is bad enough but dismembering a body takes It to another level...
