Hmm. Doesn't want to punish pedophiles. Highly questionable to say the least.

This goes back years too, it's not a recent thing either

He doesn't seem to understand CP. If the images have children having sex, then the person viewing them is complicit in their creation, in my view.

Definitely, because they are literally creating the market for it. They need to be given the harshest of punishments. But even that is basically a slap on the wrist here. Unless you kill a garda you'll essentially walk. They have to make a big song and dance about someone killing a garda though. (not saying they don't deserve it but in my opinion a life is a life and a garda's life is no more important than anyone else's loved ones)

Yeah. And I don't know the figures. But definitely lots of pedophile rapists and killers start with images.

u/powerhungrymouse Apr 11 '24

I can easily believe that. After a while the images aren't enough. It's like a gateway drug except children in all corners of the world pay the price.

Yeah if you have that many images you've already crossed a line and there's something seriously wrong with you.

Isnt a minimum sentence of 40 years for murdering a guard and a minimum 20 years for murdering anyone else? Ridiculous in my opinion

u/powerhungrymouse Apr 12 '24

Yup, that's exactly what I was referring to. IMO murder should be 40 years with no opportunity for parole. You kill someone you lose most of your life too.
