...I had thought that this amounted to treason, too.<br /><br />There was <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/9551483/Calls-to-reintroduce-death-penalty-for-police-killers.html" rel="nofollow">something in the news recently that the killing of a police officer should attract the death penalty</a>.<br /><br />The same should apply to killing soldiers.<br /><br />These people uphold the laws and freedoms in this country so to attack them is to attack the country itself.<br /><br />Notice how the two men accused of killing Rigby did not seem at all interested in killing anyone else - just that soldier and then the police, when they arrived.<br /><br />It was a very deliberate attack on the country's pillars of protection and democracy.<br /><br />Treason or just the highest form of murder, I do believe that the death penalty should be imposed here.<br /><br />The likelihood is that these two men will stay in prison for the maximum possible term.<br /><br />I think that it is time to send out a tougher message than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
