aloisia Posted March 24, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I'm sure it is some relief for the family. The story is in most major papers across the country today. http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/607001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbcruise Posted March 24, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I heard about it while on a tour last Thursday in Barbados. Death penalty is what I understood would happen if this person was caught. My prayers to this lady's family, how tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aplmac Posted March 24, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Death penalty is what I understood would happen if this person was caught. Oh quite definitely! Only thing is, it'll never be carried out and then We The Barbados Taxpayers get to keep the little darling at a public cost of around U.S.$ 25 per day, for the rest of his sorry life. :cool: -along with about 40 others! No apologies for sounding a bit sarcastic and bitter about the silly Politically Correct anti-death-sentence plague that now hangs around civilized society's neck,globally ..but if the matter was put to national (per island)referendums Death Row here on this island, (and up and down ALL these islands, make no mistake!) would get cleaned out very quickly indeed save taxpayer dollars send a huge signal to criminal morons and the tourism product would benefit from the boost in public safety where anyone could then walk any beach -on any of these islands- in perfect safety! :mad: God Bless Amnesty International, if yew ketch ma drift.:mad: ________________________ Yours Truly, Straight Talk -as usual! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wanting to sound callous but we need to start breaking some necks on the gallows. Then and only then will we get this sort of crime to stop in Barbados.:mad: I prefer my tax dollars to be spent on keeping the gallows active than to fattening the criminal element(and I mean fattening literally) To all those who say death penalty is not a deterrent. How would we know until we implement it?? I share your sentiments about Amnesty International....:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
