why is ronnie biggs locked up?

Question

why did they let a murderer go free from prison and within 2 hours he had killed someone again, yet ronnie biggs who is an old man, with a terminal illness and no harm to anyone is locked up?

lovespear by looking at all your answers, is that the only thing you can say?

Answer 1

i totally agree with you, hes now really ill and as far as im concerned should be let out to die with hes family and loved ones, he is no threat to the community and so should be released. unlike these child molesters that are free to ruin childrens lives again and again.

Answer 2

Ronnie Biggs committed the henious crime of being part of a gang that stole old, out of circulation money that was going to be burnt. He then had the audacity to escape from prison and scarper abroad, and laugh at the British authorities. He didnt live the life of luxury some people think he did, and didnt kill anyone during the robbery. The driver was injured during the robbery, and died a few years later of leukemia, not from his injuries. His real crime was sticking 2 fingers up at the police and judiciary, a far more serious one than murdering a mere member of the public. This is why they insist on keeping an old sick man behind bars until he dies, while dangerous criminals go free because there "isn't enough room".

Answer 3

Because Ronnie Biggs committed a crime so has to "do his time". you can't make allowances for one person over another. Otherwise it stops being a "justice" system.

Anyway I wouldn't worry about him too much - prisons are more like holiday camps these days. He'll have everything he needs on the inside - any attempt to deprive a prisoner of this would mean massive payouts in the court for "breach of human rights" (remember the heroin addicts who had to go cold turkey?)

Answer 4

Because Ronnie Biggs fecked off abroad and sat laughing at the crown prosecution service while they couldn't get him. They tend not to like people who evade justice for several decades.

As for the murderer, I didn't say that the criminal justice system wasn't run by @rseholes, just that they'll lock you up if you p!ss them off............ that murderer probably gave the parole officer a BJ or something.......

Answer 5

Biggs is locked up because he didn't have a good
lawyer. OJ got away with murder because he had
the best lawyer money can buy. Now you know why
Justice is blind.

Answer 6

You are asking 2 questions here. RB was a thief who injured a train driver in the course of his crime. The train driver never really recovered, died early and it destroyed his life.

The other question - muderers should serve at least 25 years (as should rapists etc).

Answer 7

no he should rot and die in prison like every other con serving a sentence he did not show any compassion the the rail road engineer he and the others almost killed in fact he frequently used the robbery as some kind of boast. let him rot and then let his family pay for his burial he has cost the british tax payer more than enough

Answer 8

all down to the parliment cause he stole the royals money FREE RONNIE BIGGS canpaign lol go on ronnie?????

Answer 9

Don't believe the hype he's a cold and violent criminal who avoided justice,he came back to Britain in the hope of living off his notoriety and because he had no legal right to live in Brazil because his son had come of age.Old man or not if he came home to die he should do it in gaol.

Answer 10

fair comment but I guess he has to serve his time as he was on the run and evaded capture for many years and dont forget that one security or train guard was murdered during the robbery.
