Reading about tragedy in Tenerife which was the triple murder in Piedra Hincada of two adults and a four year old boy I just don’t understand the act of murder.
You achieve nothing except causing misery, upset and pain and you leave so many questions in the wake of you devastation.
Why are there so many different reasons to murder someone? Money, robbery, jealousy, lust, shame, embarrassment, hatred, sex, fear, escape, revenge, pressure, religion, in the name of war, mental instability the list goes on and on.
You only have to look at America to realise that the solution isn’t in the penal system but having said that how do you reduce the murder rate? By strengthening the criminal justice system, dramatically raising the probability that, if you commit a murder, you’ll be caught, investigated, prosecuted, convicted, jailed, and, in time, let back out into the community in a way that minimizes the risk that you’ll do it again.
Until you’ve fixed all of it, you’ve fixed none of it.
I feel extremely close to this subject as a victim of a section 20 myself “wounding with intent” in 1998, and my best friend was stabbed to death as a victim of a revenge attack in 2007. When my friend was killed I was angry at everyone who played a part in his death. His family, the police, circumstance and eventually the man that did it himself. But to have such a simple end to a life didn't seem right, it didn't seem big enough! I wanted the world to sit up and mourn the loss of my friend.
There will always be “freak attacks” those that have no motive or reason but I’m sure that most future murders can be prevented by changes to society.
The murder rate has increased sharply from 1950 to present day in most countries. Why?
In these hard times people do become desperate, desperate people will do desperate things.
Poverty and unemployment on one side of the scales and Dishonest MP’s and “fat cat” bankers that are being rewarded for making insane financial decisions on the other side.
Religion and the belief in the afterlife. These religious nuts actually think they’re sending someone to a better place.
Islam and the 40 virgins waiting in paradise!
Reincarnation?
The governments have got to realise that their mismanagement of their country’s affairs have put the residents of those countries at risk from crime.
You cannot blame a desperate man for his actions but you can prevent him from becoming desperate.
Child murderers and sex offenders, the sickest of all! Even they are sickened by their crimes! But why do we sell schoolgirl outfits as a sexual fetish? Why was Britney Spears’s Oops I did it again video so popular? That sickens me!
Groan men (and women) fantasising about schoolgirls sorry but that’s ****ed up!
Society has got so many problems but we are not dealing with any of them.
Investment in our future is needed, gangs need to be dealt with, kids need to learn respect again, and the police need their authority back. The PC brigade have got a lot to answer for, lets start by kicking them out and repairing all the damage they’ve done
