Then we have this lovely little tale:
A 15-year-old boy has been locked up for 15 years for murdering a father of three who was stabbed to death on his doorstep after confronting a gang who verbally abused his daughter.
The teenage killer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was ‘out of control’ when he murdered stonemason Jamie Markham, 45, after spending days shouting and swearing outside the victim’s home in Chingford.
He had been caught in school with a knife when he was 12 and Mr Markham believed the boy, then 14, and his friends had broken into the shed at the back of his flat in Old Church Road, where he kept his tools.
His killer was well known as a trouble-maker and had wrecked the local branch of Morrisons by hurling red wine and eggs down the aisles. He was caught on video spitting in his mother’s face and breached a criminal behaviour order five times by being in the area where he killed Mr Markham. He has appeared in court 12 times and been convicted for 22 different offences since June 2020, when he was 13. His previous convictions include battery, criminal damage, using threatening, abusive words and behaviour, sending threatening messages and theft.
I have a simple solution for this kind of thing.
The evil little shit should be hanged in public (not hidden away in some prison), and the gallows should be set up right in the area where he and his little friends terrorized the residents. The body should be left dangling for a week.
That would take care of his worthless ass, and it might make his gangster buddies think twice about perpetrating similar shit in future. (And if it doesn’t, repeat the process until they all get the message, or they’re all dead. Either outcome is acceptable.)
None of that will happen, of course, so the Reign of Terror will continue.
