So i take it if an afghan shot a member of your family in the same way you would say "it's war" x he was going to die anyway jo so I think he did the guy a favour awful good of him, he might get a job in Nhs when he gets out he would have bled out in the hospital corridor waiting for a doctor if the nhs were involved i was thinking more for pain relief for the elderly no your thinking of shipman not blackman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Same result either way surely? Murder is murder in my eyes sorry if that offends anyone x I'm not offended in the slightest. But neither am I naive ! If you pick a fire fight with one of the world's elite military units, you can expect consequences......for me, it's THAT simple ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If a burglar broke into your house tonight and you caught him, tied him up and tortured him before stabbing him to death I'd agree with what you done but you know the law was going to f**k you right up. No doubt plenty laws are needing changed..?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In an ordinary situation, I would probably agree with them - but this was a far from ordinary situation, so 'ordinary' rules shouldn't apply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,437 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Has anyone on here actually said that he should go back in for longer? I certainly didn't, in fact in my first post I said his sentence seemed about right considering his mental illness. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jacknife 2,005 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 At the end of the day the law saw sence and he has the backing of millions of British people No one really cares what those think who would have rather the taliban fighter received the best medical care so he could return to his country to rape or even carry out a Westminster style attack 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he has done the time then that's it. Whatever the judge says he should do he must do it and get on with it. It's a shite position to be in but he put himself in it. Been thinking more about it and at purely a guess I say some of the army lads that don't condone his actions might be pissed off that he has done it and they have had to hold back. So if he was to walk away scot free I can see the rule book being thrown out th window. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm afraid it is an ordinary situation on a 'battlefield'. That's what the signed up to I'm afraid. If you however asked me to vote on changing those rules I would.
