and to the opposition....you only fear that more vigilantism will result,

so we risk the children to protect convicts? :blink:
a child that, probably, has done no more harm than break his/her sibling's G.I.Joe? :blink:
ffs ppl, this has to be one of the saddest threads I have ever seen,
and no, not because you disagree with those for the publishing,
but because you risk innocent children in your disagreement
ok I made a smartass remark about it before, but now it's an honest question:
how many of you opposed actually have children?
-edit- spelling :wacko:
oh yeah, and I have no beef with vigilantes getting strict punishment,
especially in the case where it's not an "impulse crime" or whatever they wanna label it,
i.e. the person's own child was not involved
Sorry, but I think that is irrelevant.Quote:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and is entitled to voice it. Much as I will pour scorn on them for doing so.
didn't mean it in that sense JPQuote:

I could be wrong in this, it is just something I read.
I understand the perpetrators are out now. But those innocent folk have the stigma for the rest of their lifes. That is too much of a price to pay for knowledge that will do you no good unless you want to take the law into your own hands. You should always be on alert as far as your children are concerned no matter who your neighbour is. I remeber reporting a suspicious chracter who was hanging about the school. The police said there was nothing they could do unless he broke the law. This was before the new laws came into force.Quote:
