Hanging is too lenient.

Cambridgeshire Police said a 30-year-old man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the incident had now been bailed and was ā€œunfit for interviewā€.

What does unfit for interview mean, and is it a good idea to release someone into the public domain who has just allegedly thrown a toddler into a crocodile enclosure.

Guess more details will emerge

Apparently the man had learning difficulties.

Probably a good fit for the mod team on here

WTF is going on, always focusing on mitigation of the circumstance of the offender. So here we know, it cant be a white male.

From the BBC article linked above

Cambridgeshire Police confirmed the suspect was white British.

Seeing that cunt and his performative grief when he found out the kid was dead was fucking sickening.
I agree with you, just hang the cunt.

Only saw this, this is really shit. I don’t whats the reason why the punishment is so light but it has to do with the age? I think the age of liability has to be looked at not just in the UK i guess but across the world and in this case, its not just a isolated case, its multiple rape and even filming themselves, its obvious they are not juvenile, they are monsters who happen to be young.

This is really shit. I feel so helpless when I see such cases when I imagine how helpless the baby is. They have been stripped of life because of monsters who don’t deserve life themselves.

Why bother with facts when you can be racist?

Classic double bluff by EasyJet as Castlelake don’t know about the extra charges for being able to choose which shares they get, charges for bringing in their own people and EasyJet headquarters being 40 miles away from the headquarters they thought they had bought. :wink:

There’s a big fire at a cardboard recycling facility in Liverpool at the moment. I saw the pictures on Facebook and initially thought it was something in Russia going up in flames.

All is well, thank you. Actually, this is the first I’ve heard of it. I better switch the telly on.

Well, whatever coverage there had been has now ended. Just goes to show how earthquake reisitant Japan can be. And how commonplace these things are.

I’ve just checked Japan Meteorologival Agency’s website and found that there have been eight after shocks in the Iwate Prefecture area and there have been two other non-related and much smaller earthquakes since the swarm of aftershocks in other parts of Japan. Maybe one of those was also an aftershock of the Iwate earthquake as it was in Hokkaido.

The JMA measured the Iwate quake as having a magnitude of 6.9.

I forgot to mention that there are two typhoons bearing down on Japan in the next few days.

One of them has already hit Okinawa and the U.S. military there has this on it’s webpage.

I saw there was an article recently in the new scientist about one of the big earthquakes about 15 years ago shifting Japan by around 5mm or something.

That was the big one in Fukushima in 2011. Apparently the entire island of Honshu shifted a little.

News from Venezuela are horrific. I wonder what the final death toll will be. But I also worry for the survivors.

Here is a little video of what can only be called a nightmare situation. A man running down the stairs of a tall building during the earthquake. You can see the cracks opening as he runs. Thankfully, he got out. Maybe I question why he spent extra seconds starting to film it, but it doesn’t matter (he was already filming the earthquake in the distance, so it’s not exactly like he started when it hit his building, of course).
