Default The Execution of Gary Glitter

Drama program on the telly box at 9pm tonight. Whats the TRC collective thought on this? Seems to me to be in pretty poor taste to be honest, using a real person and situation like this for entertainment.

Isn't that more or less what he did with children?

You reap what you sow.

I agree, The thing that I find in poor taste is turning the whole thing into entertainment for the lynch mob types.

I suspect that the point of the show is not entertainment, but to show how barbaric the death penalty is - do we really want it here, or is it just something that people think they want?

Do not rely on anything I have said. Ever.
Looking for ZZR600 E parts?

It's poor taste. One awful thing doesn't warrant another IMO.

Big brother, I'm a celebrity, x-factor etc etc. Are they poor taste or have they not just got to that line yet? Or is because of them that the line has moved?

Im pretty sure if the death penalty was re introduced it wouldn't cover child abuse.

How cool, I get to copy and paste.

It will be. When someone is found to have abused children in a new and horrible way the standard response will take over.

I'm waiting for the standard response to this
  • This is terrible, it must never happen again
  • Something must be done.
  • Something must be done, done right now.
  • Something must be done, done right now, we demand it, it must never happen again.
<new rules get put into place>
  • The new rules are totally wrong, they make us all suffer.

Problem with having the death penalty for things like that (rape included) is that the perp does the act then figures that they are going to die if they are ever caught anyway and kills the victim hoping to hide the evidence.

Means the victims more likely to be killed.
