cop killer
Regarding David Beiber, The man jailed for life this week for the shooting of P.C. Ian Broadhurst, the judge ruled that in this case, life would mean LIFE.
I completely agree with this ruling but i think that should apply to all cases serious enough to warrant life imprisonment ie. child killers, peadophiles, and rapists not just somebody who kills 'one of the boys' .
Anyone agree ?

I think you mistake us for confusing manslaughter and murder - we are not. Repeat killing, killing a servant of the crown and making "hits" are all cold blooded. Killing for pleasure, serial killers, cannibals or for a kick including following a sexual assault is quite another .
Killing a burgler who is trying rob your house is not the same as raping then murdering a woman who is walking her dog.
The psychology of it is very different and to murder a policeman in cold blood is frightening - closing ranks is a natural group survival instinct and one that i think you'll find most communities and organisations do without thought. Removing the context of a situation, the frame of mind, motivation and desire of a killer - stripping it down to one man that deliberately takes the life of another, then yes you would be right that they are all the same. Add those things back in and you'd be wrong
I remember when I was 10 years old. I was sat watching the tv when the news came on about Jamie Bulger's death. This shocked me to the core. The boys responsible for his death were the same age as me. At a young age such as 10, to physically be able to carry out an act such as that is terrifying. Those boys must have had a serious problem psychologically and I do believe that there would be no way that they could be rehabilitated and brought back into society. And yet saying that, they have been given a new identity and are probably off living the life of Riley somewhere. That is just wrong!!!
I believe if you take a life intentionally then the penalty should be the same and life should mean life. It evens says in the Bible 'an eye for and eye' so why don't people take note and serve punishments that do not have any leniency to them.
I stand by my previous comment that unless there was deliberate intention to kill then it cannot be murder.
I would find it difficult to accept that killing a wife`s lover in a rage could be construed as murder.
Shooting any person, regardless of their occupation [or age] in cold blood and while they were begging for mercy is an entirely different thing.

A murderer......out on parole from a life sentence.....has just been jailed....would you believe for life.......for 2 knife assaults committed while out on licence.
It gets worse........the judge told him he would have to serve five years before he could be considered once again for parole!
