A single heroic act.

Here.

I am sure I answered that already.

It's a tough one and one that does trouble me greatly. Thing is with many of these terrorists, they seem happy to die anyway, so it doesn't work from the deterrent angle. Bottom line is, this scumbag shouldn't have been released.

You are getting bogged down by one single word. heroic /hɪˈrəʊɪk/ adjective 1. having the characteristics of a hero or heroine.

No idea. One would be one too many. Seems justice was served yesterday though by the brave people and police at London Bridge and I am very grateful for that.

Ha. Nice try.

Sick to the stomach. This has been an issue debated and debated throughout the ages. We bring back capitol punishment, innocent people are going be killed by the state.

How do you think I would feel? Completely devastated. You are getting away from the point though. We are talking about this one, single, isolated event yesterday. The guy yesterday seemingly acted heroically.

I am always so disturbed by the notion that innocent people would be hanged, or killed by whatever method was chosen. It has happened before and would happen again. I always think how would I feel if that was a relative of mine and they were wrongly convicted and executed.

Exactly.

If it was a heroic thing he did, he would be a hero for that one instance yes, if he risked all to save someone's life. You are looking at it too globally, as if in saying he is a hero for this, he is a hero in anything and everything. What I said makes perfect sense. We need to look at...

How does your logic work exactly? So, if you were there yesterday, not knowing anything and you witnessed the intervention, it would be 'Well done, mate, you're a hero.' He then responds with 'I was convicted for murder some years ago.' You would reply with 'Then you are not a hero at all.'...

Yup. Totally opposed to the death penalty and the knowledge that there is always human error and will always be mistakes, is reason enough. The killing of one wrongly convicted person is one too many.

Disagree. On the surface, based on the information we have at hand, that was a heroic thing to do.

True. I actually meant he should never have been released now. This should have never happened. 20 or 30 years down the line, who knows, but this was way, way too soon.

Nope. This incident yesterday has to be treated in complete isolation.

Mother of that 2004 victim. "He is not a hero. He is a murderer out on day release, which us as a family didn't know anything about. He murdered a disabled girl. He is not a hero, absolutely not. ' Yesterday, he WAS a hero. Murderer, or not.

He she never have been considered safe. They should have listened to the judge from 2012.

Yes, Robinson. Couldn't stand the man.
