"To those 'hang em' types who seemingly only need hearsay and rumour to convict someone I will say one name: Bijan Ebrahim. A shocking and shameful case in the news right now but most likely ignored in favour of David Smith's suicide. " Im not a hang em type person believe it or not but David Smith wasn't wrongly accused of being pedophile he had 22 convictions for sexual offences against young boys. Big difference !! | |||

Big difference !! old convictions do not equate to new guilt" with these type of previous convictions people will always think the worst, as you have rightly said in another post that just because he had 22 convictions it doesnt mean it was with 22 different people, but because of the nature of the crime then mud sticks | |||

"He was the disabled guy beaten to death by a couple of guys who thought he was a paedophile wasn't he. " No they beat him unconscious then poured white spirit over him and burned him to death. A mediaeval punishment in an allegedly enlightened age. Which no doubts suits plenty of the 'hang em' type argument. | |||

"an innocent man would not commit suicide ,i will never feel sorry for anyone who has been charged with crimes against minors no matter how long ago it was !" Sorry, but his cause of death is unknown! Meaning it could be a heart attack, or any other natural cause. Not neccissarily suicide! | |||

"an innocent man would not commit suicide ,i will never feel sorry for anyone who has been charged with crimes against minors no matter how long ago it was !" not being personal, but that is utter shite! maybe he couldnt face a court case and have his hostorical conviction dragged into the public domain? maybe he was just an old man that couldnt face it all? unless you have an insight into this particular case, or indeed any other account of suicide then you may well need to keep such short sighted opinions to yourself | |||

"Relating this thread to the bring back capital punishment thread, I stated in favour of it in cases of serial killers where the evidence is overwhelming in MORE than one case, to decrease the potential for miscarriage of justice. Likewise with repeat sexual offenders, justice should be more strict (eg: three strikes and you're out, or rather in for life). It should be doing exactly what the legal system is designed to do: punish the guilty (rehab if possible), protect the public (even more so in the cases of the vulnerable) and deter others. If justice served it's purpose then there could be less occurrences of vigilantism. " | |||

"Burglars, car thieves, even druggies and muderers can all repent and change their ways, if they wish. Paedophiles are programmed to reoffend by the nature of the 'condition', despite imprisonment, counselling, 'treatment' ( the very vast majority) so by that reason and the fact the guy was chosen to run the most prolific paedophile this country has lnown, around to visits, why howl ' until proven' at us? He deserves absolutely no compassion, however he died. Let's not forget how many lives he and others like him, destroyed and affected forever. That stuff does not go away." You're wrong. First off the BBC report stated he did not chauffeur JS. Secondly - over the last 25 years I have seen the term paedophile to cover any person who has sex with children. That many years ago the term was only applied to people who believed they have done nothing wrong in having sex with children. It is this group that will not/cannot rehabilitate because of their mindset. Give them a conscience and let them feel guilt, then you have half a chance. The other group of people have a "defect" in their make-up that has allowed an act of self-gratification to over-rule societal rules/laws. The same with some rapists. They do feel guilt if they do not go into denial. They may also condemn other perpetrators of the act. "Success" of such an offence may lead to more. There are grey areas. All I am trying to state is there are some who won't go onto offend and others who will. It's just extremely complicated and one needs to look into the psychological make-up of these guys. SOME may have been victims themselves. THIS will never excuse them becoming abusers but distorted their perception of right and wrong. Therapy is needed. | |||

There is not enough availability on the NHS for every abuse victim to receive the counselling they deserve. Victims have a variety of reasons why they do not come forward - they are unaware of being abused, they have been threatened/manipulated not to tell, they have the fear of not being believed, they fear the processes involved (such as police/court), they love the abuser... | |||

No seriously, did the programme suggest anything for those who have been released on licence? If it was a prescription, I do not know how they would enforce someone to take meds, unless part of their licence was regular blood/urine tests to prove the chemical is/was in their body, or they return to incarceration. | |||

I see. No, it was just an over_iew of the history with a few case examples (cheesy channgel 5 style) rather than being a comprehensive documentary. I think your suggestion would make far to much sense for them to implement anyway. I'm not even too sure they still give this treatment (I forget the reasons). | |||

"My point exactly. All my posts were about paedophilia because it was relevant to the neighbouring posts and added to the points being made at the time This thread is about vigilantes and the outcome. As I said way back, let's not lose sight of that. Please." My points have been relevant due to the treatment potential. And FYI I have tried to bring this thread back to the subject of poor Ibrahimi more than once and with less patronisation imo. Rightly or wrongly I have observed you to redirect the thread back when you've found it difficult to fully respond to a point made. However threads do go off on a tangent, sometimes as a blessed relief and othertimes less so. | |||

"I feel sympathy for the abused and those who were abused and become abusers ... They need support and help and punishment where required " Some people may think it abhorrent to have empathy with an abuser, but if you can find the reasons of the abuse, you can attempt rehab. If this results in less victims (since justice never locks the door and throws away the key, unless murder is involved), then this is an excellent thing. | |||

I have been factual, exact and straightforward in my posts and responded fully. Unfortunately, the goalposts shifted after all of my responses, meaning that they were musunderstood, intentionally or otherwise. I leave other readers to judge which ends of the professional specteum we are. Nothing more is to be gained from this and I bow out. | |||
