The most 'sensational' thing is many high profile offenders are able to walk free after 10 years in prison. while the victims try to cope with their attacker been released. Crime is a serious matter and should not be called 'senationalist rubbish' the death penalty is the only answer for victims who suffered the trama and pain of their assalt. Many families suffer everyday knowing that criminals walk free while their family member is either dead or at breaking point . Many victims cannot speak of their pain and hurt and left wondering about how unfair the justise system .

I remenmber when Larry Murphy was released from prison Lonergan was on the radio and said Larry Murphy should be "left alone" yes you heard it right Larry Murphy should be "left alone". Lonergan is completely mad its no wonder the prison system is the way it is with the likes of him running it.

JuliusCaesar wrote: » "Run wild"??? Where, exactly, did John Lonergan say that? Please do give the source. There's a big difference between 'left alone' and 'free to run wild'. I can believe that Lonergan spoke against vigilantee-ism; but sure Larry Murphy was under observation by the Gardaí.
