Extradite killers to the USA.

Hachiko

In light of the tragic events in Glasgow, I see no reason why say the governments of Ireland and the UK could reach some agreement to send people convicted of crimes like this to the USA, where they can be put on death row.

Seriously, crimes like this are the lowest of the low and I am sure the cost of sending these vile people abroad can be subsidised by tax payers.

I am all in.

Why not just bring in death row here?

Chijj

What a stupid suggestion.

Completely pointless.

pmasterson95

Yeah because people love paying taxes. I'm guessing sunstroke influenced this.

I'm all for that but the do gooders in this country would never allow it.

Arsemageddon

Well apart from the fact that the crimes were not committed in the US and did not involve US citizens there is also the fact that not every US state carries out executions.

Plus I'd wager the yanks wouldn't really want to have to do other countries dirty work for them.

Good plan though, I can see you've put a lot of thought into it.

Reinstate the state executioner...I'll sign up for the vacancy

Spunge

wouldnt it make more sense just to implement the death penalty.

Why get the US to deal with our scumbags? Not their problem.

The Backwards Man

I can't see why we don't just send them all our criminals and save the country a fortune.

How would this help exactly?

Even if this had happened in the US the killer is unlikely to be given a death sentence. They don't just sentence every killer to death you know.

I think you'll find it would make them a fortune.

It would be the first policy decision in the history of the state dictated by facebook comments.

Closely followed by the naming and shaming of everyone questioned or suspected of anything because we are nosy bastards.

Not to forget life imprisonment for anyone described in a post as 'scum' if that post gets fifty or more likes.

OP what needs to be done here is an overall of the sentencing in this country. If

a person commits premeditated murder and is found guilty of same they should

never see the light of day again in this country life should mean that LIFE!. 17

years is the average term served by prisoners on a life sentence what a fcuking joke that is.

bjork

Death penalty is such a waste. Carry we not just carry out experiments on them?

Lets burn down the homes of all the Paediatricians!

They're evil scum!

What happens if said person is tried, deported and executed....and a year later they find out it was his roommate who did it.

On the other hand, the death penalty would be a useful punishment for those who insist on packing their voluminous shopping at the checkout in Lidl.

Send a Ham to the widow then send the roomate over.

Yeah mate. No point having voluminous shopping if you don't take it home and pack it in the dark.

I will come back with a revised plan B...

Although I agree it's a stupid idea, cost of flying them to the USA would be SFA compared to their annual expense in prison.

for killing someone like that, chances of getting on death row would be pretty high.

life, with no parole and a large big mac and extra large everything before you go.

I'm sure the American taxpayers will have no problem with spending serious cash on dealing with our problem, for no obvious gain to themselves. Sure they love us, the Irish built the roads etc etc

We need to outsource our prison system to private companies, there will be no perks for inmates then, work them to the bone breaking rocks.
Anyone convicted of murder straight to the electric chair within a hour.

This thread is a good example of why emotion has no place in lawmaking.

Give them a shovel and a pick and put them freeing blocked drains on the road side.

Its obviously that evil bastard in Glasgow that we are talking about here.
Why should he be able to get out of prison in his mid thirties and probably start a family and live his life after what he has done?

A lot of u.s states have outsourced there prison systems to private companies, these would be glad to take our inmates for a fee.

cml387

The US is a shining example of how the death penalty and inhuman prison conditions leads to a nearly crime free society.

They can't take non American prisoners convicted of crimes outside of the US.

The prison system in the U.S is a multi-billion dollar industry. Most prisons have capacity quotas, I would imagine they'd be delighted to take our prisoners. Have a read of this http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/the_prison_state_of_america_20141228

Not really - unless the State requires the bodies for some reason.

or even a country like Thailand, i am sure they would love our tax money to send these cretins to the lovely jails they have., the cost of sending them away to a place like that would be a lot less than it costs the tax payer in Ireland/UK to keep them in jail, and feeding the pricks.

Good grief man, do you know nothing?
You export criminals to Australia, and religious nutters to America.
