In the light of comments on this thread regarding crime between America & Britain I thought it might be worthwhile showing these stats. They were taken off a graph (which I couldn't cut & paste for some reason) & whilst you have to bear in mind that the way crimes are reported in England & Wales has changed since 1980 there's some value as a general trend. Perhaps other countries have managed to control their crime rate better than we have, the U.S. figures caught me very much by surprise.

Catches me by surprise, too!!!

the U.S. figures caught me very much by surprise.

Peter - is won't be too palatable on here but the US violent crime numbers have dropped dramatically starting pretty much at the same time as Florida changed their laws to seriously liberalize the granting of handgun carry permits for normal citizens (basically, no felony convictions) and as that policy spread across the US, the violent crime numbers continued to drop.

 

All - the pictured assault and several of the similar ones mentioned sound very much like the work of young sociopaths who will almost certainly escalate to similar actions against people unless they are caught and kept caged. I don't know of any effective way to 'cure' or otherwise control the anti-social behavior patterns of such folks short of placing them in a strict custodial setting such as prison or killing them.

 

Best I have ever been able to understand is that a sociopath does not see other creatures (animal or human) as being real so that damaging them is no worse than damaging a doll would be. They also tend to think of themselves as smarter than the non-reals around them so are convinced they will not be caught or punished even after they have been previously caught and possibly punished.

 

Sad but true and the 'guess' that they are youngsters is probably accurate since they are still working on animals.

 

Lastly, as John S has said several times, please keep this topic to the issues rather than direcely slagging each other for opinions you don't agree with. Disagree with what they say if you wish but quit the personal attacks if you want this to remain an open topic.

The people who did it are scum.

 

the only way to stop things like this happening in the future is to catch who did it and make and example out of them.

 

what on earth posses someone to do that is beyond me.

I am a young male and yes i do drink on the street and in pubs and me or my friends dont do that sort of thing and to behonest if they wanted to i'd be my best to stop them.

 

being a dog owner it makes me sick to think that the dog was loved by a family, i know damn straight if i found my dog like that i wouldnt let it go, id want some sort of justice done, justice to fit the crime.

hi all

 

thats the trouble we as human have tried to prolong peace and stability and have become comfortable which is what its about.im for that!!

 

that includes bonding with animals be it cat/dog etc etc even creepy ones:)

this has ment we treat are pets like real family which as far as my cat goes ,he is family.

 

and when someone does this type of thing its heart breaking but devistating if its your own animal.

 

god knows what id do but i wont go there(rage )

 

i hope this little dunce brags and gets screw`d over by someone with any feelings(lets hope)

 

if this person did this to look hard hes a coward with mates with just as low brain capacity.

I once read a book where it was stated that "a mother wasn't fit to raise cobras", let alone children. Unfortunately this same behavior will most likely be perpetuated into yet another generation.

why not then, if killing them all is to harsh, why not lock them up in a cell but do to them exactly what they have done to someone else or thing.

mind you you would then be in the same category as them.
