Anyone dying is obvioulsy just as bad as anyone else dying, I just think it is more sad and tragic if it is people who exist to help others and who put their lives on the line for the community. The media and Government hold this view too, you only have to look at the coverage and about who comments. You would not have had front pages stories, top billing on new programmes, comments from the PM, the Home Secretary and even the Queen today, if it had been two people off the street. Nor would you have had so many people signing online books of condolance and so on. It is always somehow sadder if it is someone whose job it was to proect the community.

Death penalty for kiling nurses, doctors, social workers, lollipop ladies too then? After all, they exist to help others? Also, is it only if they are killed on duty?

Give up on what? We live in one of the most just, least corrupt, safest, fairest places on the planet. There is always room for improvement but relatively speaking, we're laughing. How we treat murderers is fine as it is.

You make it sound like we live in some sort of warzone.

Max, take no notice of Johnson and Slater,they are just groin scratching bedwetters who still live at home with their parents, stick to your views, many of which make sense, don't allow anyone on here to bully you, keep your own council. right time for a brew and some toast.

Well, there is always room on this forum for an intelligent post.

And this isn't one of them.

Dale Cregan on bail, Max

Post by David Johnson »

Max,

Fortunately in this country we have rules as to how long people can be kept in jail without charge. That is why Cregan was released. The police did not have enough evidence to charge him.

On Wednesday, the force's chief constable, Sir Peter Fahy, issued a statement defending the decision to bail Cregan. "It is absolutely normal in the course of complex crime inquiries that when people are arrested there are occasions where there is insufficient evidence available for them to be charged," he said.

"In those circumstances suspects have to be released on bail as there are strict time limits covering how long suspects can be held in custody without charge. That is exactly what happened in this case."

What would you prefer? A system where people are arrested and left to rot in jail on the off-chance that the police might be able to get the evidence to charge them with some offence?
