We really need to stop using the United States as our yardstick to compare/measure ourselves against.
The US is not the only country that still uses capital punishment, and I'll be interested to see those other countries statistics concerning crime levels and re offending!
Maybe we should start thinking that it's our obsessive fascination with America and it's capitalistic "Get the money by all means necessary" culture that could be the route cause of most of our social ills!
After all other western European countries that don't follow the US's example don't seem to have the same amount of social/crime problems affecting their youth!
Edit.
Just announced on Sky news....
Members of an animal rights group have been sentenced to 4 to 11 years for attempted blackmail of scientists at Huntingdon life sciences research laboratory.
4-11 years for an attempted blackmail, but 4 to 9 years for gang raping a child who has learning difficulties, then destroying 50% of her skin by throwing caustic soda over her to cover their tracks!
Absolute disgrace!
This countries laughable judicial system should start looking after the little people as well as the companies, institutions and the wealthy!
