Subjectively, we are all full of anger towards people like Huntley, and towards Thompson and Venables, etc.
We want to see them "get what's coming to them".
But, objectively ... do we want our system of justice to be ruled by lynch mobs?
When we see clips of Muslim mobs dragging people into sports arenas, and hacking off their heads, or stoning them, do we think ...
"Yep ... that's REAL justice."
Or do we think that we are more civilised than them?
Just a thought.
