Wonder whether the people day Shamima Begum was only a child when she decided to go out to Syria will be quite as forgiving this time around?

I would imagine that naming a minor is a complicated procedure. Remember his parents haven't done anything wrong so that will have to be taken in to consideration when naming.

Dr Faustus Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Scottish law is different too if I remember rightly; sherrifs and all that. Am I right in thinking it was targeted- revenge against her father? He's gonna meet something suitably grizzly sooner or later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but I absolutely assure you that everybody within the parents' circle of friends, acquaintances, neighbours, etc., will already know the name of the lad who did it. As for the rest of the population, I'm not sure knowing or not knowing would alter the way anybody would feel about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give his mum the benefit of any doubt. But she would have some serious explaining to do when the police came across the recording. Even if it was wiped.

Members bolty58 Posted February 22, 2019 Members Share Posted February 22, 2019 Horrible. Me and the missus were sat there with tears in our eyes watching the video of the little lass playing. I know it's viewed as 'reactionary' or 'populist' but cases like this do make me wonder if we were right to abolish capital punishment for absolutely all crimes.

Dr Faustus Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 This kid is fucked up; but the emotive journalism surrounding it (Scottish Sum) is typical tabloid sensationalism. I hate the skewed perspective as I feel it shrouds the true horror of his acts. I hope her family find peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
