Are PPL even shocked anymore at people being brutally murdered in this COUNTRY?

Question

i'm talking about the uk

Answer 1

No. Our culture and society has been poisioned and de-sensitized by the mass media (television, music, movies) and to hear about people being murdered is something that just doesn't hit them, until it happens to someone they know/love.

Also I believe that there are people who are convicted of murder who get off way too easy. Forget about life in prison. If convicted of 1st degree murder, I believe there should be 1 appeal. If that appeal fails, then however the convicted murdered thier victim, is the same punishment that the condemned should recieve. "An eye for an eye...."

Answer 2

If you're on about UK, yes. Recently there has been the father who killed his son, and attempted to kill his daughter too, in a selfish suicide leap from a hotel balcony in Greece. After an argument with his wife, who wanted to divorce him. He is in a hospital refusing food and pain killers, saying he wants to die. I want to see him face up to what he has done, and be served proper justice.

And police found an asian woman and her 3 children slaughtered by the kids father - their bodies having been laid in a house for about a month. Poignant was the fact that the 11yr old son's body was laid next to his mother, he having died with massive head injuries. He must have watched his father murder her, tried to protect her, but then the other children watched him get bludgeoned too, before the father snuffed them out as well.

Its horrendous to even try to reason how someone could even contemplate doing such awful acts, to themselves, to their wives, to their own flesh and blood. To murder your own children. I simply cannot believe anyone would be capable.

Yes, I am still shocked by murder and mindless violence. My heart goes out to the victims whose lives were cut so short, by the hands of some one who should have protected and loved them devotedly.

Answer 3

Are you thinking of the woman and her three children? Cheadle is just down the road from me and everyone I know is really shocked by this - I think because children seem to have been brutally murdered, possibly by their own father - how low can you get?

Answer 4

What'sUp, It is the same way here in the US, in one California city alone, there has been 89 killings this year. Too bad all our assets and the Government, State and Federal, are not as concerned with what is going on than with getting re-elected and waging war. People are less than numbers; here today, forgotten tomorrow. Cold News!

Our concerns are much the same, even a continent apart.

Answer 5

I am more shocked at how people refuse to see that it is becoming an increasing problem. Particularly since it is young kids that are committing the murders.

Answer 6

I think it is less shocking than it used to be.There seems to have been a huge increase over the past few years of murders etc.

Answer 7

We sit there and say how horrid and dispicable it is but how many people actually try to do anything about it. We feel bad for a short time then move onto something else.
It's time good honest living people could live good honest lives without fear of violence or even death.

Answer 8

What country do you mean? If you mean Iraq, yes. It shocked the world with news of daily murders by Muslim terrorists.

Answer 9

Yes, it still shocks me! I will never get over the fact that someone can take a life away and not care about it. It saddens me greatly.'

Answer 10

Not as much as I used to be,awful,isn't it?But i'm often shocked at the leniency shown to the murdering scum when they are convicted.
