Yes and the spoiled brats burning cars in the shitty suburbs in stockholm are not helping the immigration issues in sweden either. Retards will use anything to justify violence like that. It is like the hate crime murders in the US after 9/11 where Sikhs got shot by rednecks or whatever. Stupid people doing knee-jerk reactions seems par for the course. | ||

From what I understand it was an armed response that took 35 minutes, regular police were on the scene but were afraid of confronting them because they wanted the police to come to them. | ||

Just hope this doesn't spark anymore violence, apart from against the murderers ofcourse, as far as I'm concerned they're rabid animals that should be put down. | ||

That is why we have the right to imprison them idefinitely and they don't have the right to behead a dude. There is nothing to justify what these men have done. I wouldn't want them in my prison system because it will lead to more violence. I don't see them lasting in jail. As for Ingrid Loyau-Kennett. She's a saint. | ||

Think about it, they get free food and housing for the rest of their lives supported by the taxpayers of the very community that their crimes damaged. Is that really worse than dying? Especially if we consider the option that they weren't in fact religious extremists, but insane lunatics who may or may not feel any remorse whatsoever? It's tricky. There's a realistic standpoint to this notion, not just a purely moral-based one, and both should be considered and weighed. I don't think the "giving them free food and housing" argument is very morally strong. I think that making that argument is implicitly if unintentionally also making an argument justifying denying them food or shelter at all which would definitely be barbaric. There is a realistic standpoint of "do they deserve to live" to consider. Britain as a country considered that standpoint and decided that assuming the moral authority and responsibility of execution by the state is not something that can be justified. I don't agree but hey it's their country. | ||

I don't know if you're aware but the joke you're trying to pull off makes the implication that "jihadis" and the Islamic community are one and the same thing, It's not comparable. The Western public should not judge Islam by the actions of a minority. Likewise, the community of Islam should not judge Western stance based on a minority's actions. "Jihadis" are not representative of Islam, they're extremists, they're, by definition, believers in a religious war waged against the West, and make no mistake such actions will probably enrage them further, like DEB said. | ||

They executed a guy, exactly the same thing you're advocating happen to them, and yet you say nothing can justify what they did. It was just a beheading, if you believe in capital punishment you don't think there is something intrinsically wrong with an execution. The reason what they did is wrong is because what they did was rob a man of his life, it was unfair, unsanctioned, unjust. The reason it is not that when we do it is because we put them through a fair trial before the authorities society sanctions with the power to dispense justice. It matters, in this case more than most. | ||

Well yes, but I willingly disregarded that option seeing as it would be considered morally wrong when weighed against either imprisonment or execution. | ||

The reason this is even in the news is because of how extraordinary the circumstances are. Reinstating the death penalty over a handful of cases like this will lead to repercussions that affect far more people, innocents being executed and such; that's why countries abolish the practice in the first place | ||

It's an enormous city and the northern parts of it in particular are more common for Islamic extremism. I live in South London and it's totally safe. There are just areas you need to be careful in, as in any city. | ||

Simple as that. | ||
