Sharpe's Opinion

Tom Harris Speaks For Everybody

And here’s what I’ve concluded: it’s okay to get angry at the people who killed this innocent child. It’s okay to hate them for the terrible injuries they inflicted on him. It’s fine – I would suggest it’s even desirable – to want them to suffer in turn, to seek revenge, not just justice, against these sub-humans who once lived among us and, infuriatingly, will do so again one day.

I think the best punishment the state could dish out to them is to do absolutely nothing. For once, the judiciary should just leave them alone. Release them. Put them back on the streets, with no protection, to fend for themselves. They’d be as helpless as that poor child.

Good.
