Woolwich Killer gets Teeth Knocked Out

I'm not at all sorry it happened, but it's a bit disconcerting to hear it was done by actual police officers. People who are actually meant to be "keeping the peace". Police officers are becoming violent thugs these days. Imagine if that had been someone innocent. Quite scary.

I seriously doubt that police handles this way with innocent people... In other words, I don't think that it's a coincidence that it happened to him, not some other prisoner.

Yes he is vile person for leaving killing such an honorable man and leaving his wife and 2 year old son without father. However recently police have been shown to be extremely dirty (Stephen Lawrence case), using unnecessary force and now this--it's disgusting. The police should be setting an example and not sinking to such levels

I think the reason the police officers did this is because everyone knows he violently hacked down Lee Rigby on the street. It's a horrible, horrible crime, and they wanted to exact some pain for what he did to a British soldier.

I don't think they go around treating each prisoner like this.

Anyway, I agree, that this is unacceptable if true. No matter how low and disgusting the prisoner is, the police have a duty of maintaining appropriate conduct.

Revenge is not justice.

Arguably, as this individual claimed to want to die for his beliefs, we should make him stay alive as long as possible.

Is prison revenge? If not, why not? Seems like it is just a matter of degree.

His intentions and wishes should be irrelevant.

This man should have been hanged by now.

The hardest fight may not be defeating monsters but preventing ourselves becoming monsters in the process.

Worth remembering, all of you, that if this has happened as reported then the Police had sod all to do with it.

Prison Staff are not Police.

Prison is removing someone from society for the benefit of the rest of society.

His wishes are entirely relevant. he wanted to die. He should not be afforded that 'escape'.

Justice.

No. That would be vengeance.

This sounds like a cheesy line from a rubbish movie.

In fact it's pretty much a mash up of a line from the Dark Knight trailer and a line from the Pacific Rim trailer.

Anyway, if I was fighting the Taliban in some desert, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't consider the 'hardest fight' to be maintaining my morality. I'd be far more concerned about all the bullets.

This man should have been hanged by now.

That would only make him a martyr to those that support him and have the same beliefs as him.

That's OK. They're next.

I agree with this. The bloke is s scumbag. However, it is vital that the authorities treat him like any other prisoner, so we can keep the moral high ground.

Absolutely disgraceful.
