Scousers won’t like this, it’s a bit of a knock to their pride I guess. Aren’t you sick of hearing the people and officials of
Why this “attack” on Liverpool…well it doesn’t seem that long ago that the Bishop of Liverpool was holding a memorial service for Rhys Jones, the 11 year old boy shot dead in a pub car park as he walked home from football practice. This poor lad was murdered in August of this year, his family devastated by the loss of such a young person. And yet….have the police discovered the killer yet? Has anyone come forward and given them a name? Has any parent
come forward to name their child or their friends child, other relatives child as the killer? Someone somewhere is hiding this information, someone close to the killer, someone in the killer’s gang or family knows who pulled the trigger.
And yet, displaying the full depth and breadth of the “community” spirit in
Fucking cowards the lot of them.
If any of my children or my relatives kids did such a thing I would not hesitate to hand them over and let justice takes its toll.
All the fuss over the murders of Stephen Lawrence and Damilola Taylor finally identified the killers despite police cover ups and cock ups. In Stephen Lawrence’s case the killers are well known but through legal loopholes walked away free…..no-one doubts they did the killing though. In Damilola Taylor’s case a conviction was secured against two brothers in 2006.
Surely someone, somewhere in

Agree - Its all very well feeling sad for Rhys Jones family and his death was tragic but do people not want justice as well.
Probably won't be too long before he is forgotten about and just another name added to the list of innocent young men killed.
I have read rumours of a name all over the place but Police have not got the concrete evidence to charge anyone which is a shame and sort of proves your point.
Somebody (fellow gang members?) are hiding this murderer.
Mind you if he gets caught the law in this country is so weak he would probably only get about 10 years or something as the defence will claim Rhys' murder was an 'accident'
Agree in principal but then it’s easy to take the moral high ground when you are not involved. I doubt there is anyone who believes that this person(s) shouldn’t be bought to justice for taking an innocent life. I would like to think that I would not hesitate to hand such a person over should such an awful crime happen in my community, but then would I? If I thought by standing up for my values and convictions and plain common decency that this could place my own child/family in danger then would I do this? Honestly, hand on heart I’m not sure I would!
Having read this post I kind of think I know here the author is coming from.
Jack I would like to say spot on with your analysis, although I was disappointed by a previous bloggers comments something about ‘taking the moral high ground’.
Well fuck me if you want be knifed, bottled or shot when you walk down the road or have your kids sold drugs on their way to school I suppose they are right you can afford to take the moral low ground.
Now it seems to me that there appears to be no deterrent to crime.
There are currently 139 prisons holding men, women and children in England and Wales. 139 to few I would say.
I think we need to go back to basics like the last three successive governments of our time have suggested.
So why not go back to the beginning of the penal system which had its origins in the 16th century. Bring back public events, which were designed to shame the person and deter others. Resurrect the ducking stool, the pillory, whipping, branding and the stocks.
At the time the sentence for many other offences was death.
Anyway you get the idea, I just suggest that we don’t continue to allow this weak willed ‘head in the sand’ stance to continue.
There’s nothing glamorous heroic or manly about the behaviour of these shits. They have no chivalrous, moral or ethical code that they live by that raises them above the law-abiding taxpayer.
Therefore they should be locked up for as long as it takes society to decide they are no longer a threat. Prison is not or should not be for rehabilitation it is to punish the perpetrator/s of crime.
Perhaps 'moral high ground' was not the correct wording - i certainly did not mean to imply that such a terrible act should be condoned, ignored or unpunished! What i was trying to put over is that it's not always so cut and dried.
Not cut and dried? The law has been broken, a boy lies dead. What morally sane person would still cover that up if it was their child who had committed the crime? What favour are you doing them - they get away with this, they know they can do it again.
I wouldn't hesitate to grass someone up to see justice get done. And it isn't really grassing for crimes as serious as that - it's a moral obligation isn't it?
Yep your right - i'll shut up!
