#5 am I wrong to hope his next victims will be those who made his release possible?

#6 Apparently, Spain's democrats love dead Spaniards as well.

#7 Sounds to me like those guys are trying to make appeasement a way of life. Unfortunately, that way to peace is paved with dead bodies, and the terrorists are driving the steamroller.

#9 Sounds to me like those guys are trying to make appeasement a way of life.

We let out a whole heap of N Irish nationalist and loyalist murderers to keep things sweet a few years ago, so Britain is guilty of a similar case of contempt for their victims. Our terrorists don't try to shoot people or blow them up as often as they used to, though. They're more interested in robbing banks. Ah, the romance of thuggery.

#10 Problem was that the post-Franco Spanish Constitution was adopted at a time of intense political correctness. It marks that the only goal of the penal system is to reinsert the criminal . Not a word about deterrence. Not a word about caring for the sufferings of the victims and their relatives who see the criminal walk free while their grief will haunt them for life. And not a word about preventing further crimes by reincident criminals (ie don't release "multi-shot" criminals ).

So the constitution tells nobody can be kept for more than thirty years. No matter if you are a multi-reincident child-raper and killer a la Marc Dutroux. And some a..le has added a provision that the simple fact of enrolling a professional course (even if you don't take a single class let alone succeed at the exam) is enough for getting a reduced sentence (why they didn't deduct iut from its 3000 years?) because /sarcasm_on like we all know it is poorness who causes crime and terrorism /sarcasm_off.

A few years ago, ETA placed a bomb in the houses of Guardia Civil. One of the victims was a six month girl. None of the perpetrators was taken alive. Pity they didn't do the same thing with this scumbag.
