When Careless And Unlucky, Hurting, Parents, Via Extreme Offenders, Challenge Already Bad Law

Very rarely, and very unfortunately, in a world of erring human beings, there is a coincidence of a number of circumstances, which leads to a terrible tragedy.

Sarah Payne, James Bulger, Madeleine McCann, April Jones etc, the list is relatively short, but very real. This is where parental responsibility has been lacking, even dangerously-lacking, but, paths have been crossed, with men in extreme mental states (usually), bent on carrying out unacceptable and, ultimately, devastating acts.

With these incredibly rare cases, comes the backlash, regret, grinding consciences, self and group recriminations, ill-informed, spineless and votemongering political populism, knee-jerk reactions and the dangerous input, of those with financial and other vested interests.

At these times, bad laws are created and regressed.

April Jones’s family bid to keep sex offenders on register for life - but Home Office says it would breach their human rights 

"Five-year-old April was snatched from outside her home in Machynlleth by Mark Bridger, who was sentenced to a whole life term for her abduction and murder."

We are not sure why the campaigners are surprised, we told them many times.

(N.B. Ms Coral Jones, and her youthful daughter, Jazmin, talking absolute and dangerous rubbish, about the issues, in the videos (Piers egging them on, with passive glee). The 'April's Law' campaign, is replete with such ignorance, emotive claptrap and downright idiocy; of course, in Westminster Hall, yesterday, the politicians applauded them - so it goes).

The Highest Respect For The Law

The law of solitude

The cause of everyone’s misfortunes is their inability to sit quietly in a room.” Blaise Pascal

*****

"The many possession offences include possession of certain drugs; racially abusive or threatening material; various forms of pornography or depictions of abuse; firearms or ammunition without a certificate; explosives; false identity documents; or even a television without a licence. And, of course, the object does not have to be in the same room (or same building) as you; you just need to have sufficient awareness and control for a prosecutor to show that the banned item was in your possession.

Wrongful thoughts

And it is the possession offences which bring the citizen in England and Wales the closest to pure “thought-crimes” where, if there was some confession or if the prosecution could prove your culpable intention beyond reasonable doubt, the possession of any object can in limited circumstances be a crime."
