Snippets - crime - death sentence - and other stuff...........

Muslim man guilty of child cruelty..........
during a ritual known as Ashura - the guilty man forced two boys to flog themselves.
Now - I have no problem with practicing their religion at all and whatever it entails - so long as it stays within the laws of THIS country! The same as when travelling to any other country - we abide by their laws.
The boys did want to take part in the ritual - but heck - a flail of chains with blades attached? Yeah Yeah I know - bad girl should not question or criticise another persons' religious beliefs too much!
Thankfully the elders intervened and ensured the boys received treatment.
Zaidi (the guilty party) will be sentenced next month - in what I believe to be a correct judgment.

The things that make Britain great?!?!?!.............
Ok so I was skeptical on seeing this title and was finding it hard to come up with anything much myself before looking at the article. It is a humorous - tongue-in-cheek look at Britain - and by the looks of it - worth the purchase of the book itself! The extract linked will show you why!

Policeman jailed for punching a child..............
12 weeks inside is going to seem like a long time to him! It would to anyone - but you just know it will get put about straight away he is a copper!
I personally think he deserves longer and also deserves any crap he gets whilst inside for punching a 12yr old in the face - but hey ho - at least he was sentenced to something!
The police receive enough criticism from most quarters - long hours for piss poor pay as we would call it - and I am sure that most of us that are honest with ourselves would not want or be able to do the job. As with any profession - as I stated in a blog below (the one with the poster) from earlier today - it is the minority in the police force that act like complete idiots that spoil it for the majority who do a damn good job.

Joseph Edward Duncan III sentenced to death...........
I did a quick snippet about this a few days ago - about the jurors having to watch the video of him abusing one of the children he kidnapped after murdering their mother, her boyfriend and their older brother. He then went on to murder 9 yr old Dylan after torturing and sexually assaulting him.
I don't think there will be many tears of sorrow shed over this sentence!
