If complaining doesn't work, and protesting doesn't work, and you can't think of anything left to do, try changing the world around by changing the way you think about it.
So what give up and accept killings not such a bad thing and worthy of only a couple of years in Prison?
Accept that government knows best?
Accept it, or do something about it. Never quit. You can't be outraged that someone murdered someone else, and then wish murder upon that murderer. It's a flawed system, and needs revision.

So true, and on the money. Who knows if this story is even real. It sure got the murderous response it was looking for tho...
what you expect?
Someone kills a baby and they get to walk after 4 years when a pot smoker or tax evaders gets more!
What do I expect? Rationality. I don't want to turn into one of them by harbouring similar thought patterns.
So now thinking is a crime now? what I should be arrested for my thoughts?
Sorry but this sentence is not rational. So one should be forgiven for non "rational thought".
I would not kill him.
But if a he dies in prison? Dont expect me to shed a tear.

I suggest the state utilize the death penalty for those who fit a specific criteria, ie any adult who perpetrates a crime against a child; among other things.
Ah! You've hit on why I dont like the death penalty. The children!
In the case presented by OP. The guy killed the child while suffering a loss of control.
What if the guy has other older children. Children who the father has never hurt. Children who worship the ground their father walks on. Children he thinks the world off.
When we sentence that guy to death we inflict the worst punishment possible onto those children. How do we tell those children - "Sorry kids, but today we're going to kill daddy"
Your thoughts?

Do you suppose then that maybe complaining isn't enough?
Well that when vigilantes will appear
What else can you do other than complain/protest?
How much you are willing to sacrifice, is determined by your effort. How important is the issue to you? If it's that big, you'll always find more ways to get to the end goal no matter what. That's what [red pills] are all about. If complaining doesn't work, and protesting doesn't work, and you can't think of anything left to do, try changing the world around by changing the way you think about it. Wishing murder upon someone is never a good thing. That's all i'm saying.

Not sure why the BBC would fake the story, etc? Yes it is emotional and will be received that way. One thing can tell you-these injustices do happen. I knew someone whose toddler was murdered. The one who did it served two years, this happened in the US. If that makes any difference but often not expected in this country.

Changing the way you think about it is harder said than done. I live with that every day as a survivor of homicide inflicted upon my family. I know better now, I have protection(which in itself is a challenge due to what I witnessed) but in this sick world at anytime for any reason someone can decide to end your life. Might as well be prepared, right?
Can't say the same for the babies that are victims in tragedies like this. Sure wishing death to the one who creates is never healthy, saying that I agree, but it's hard not to blame people for feeling that way when a system fails so horribly.
Sometimes these can't be changed not matter what people do, but in this case there's still time. Hopefully the court ruling can be overturned, to let the little soul rest finally.

Sounds about right for manslaughter. It's certainly not murder. He didn't set out to kill the baby. a reply to: crazyewok

Like you never thought about killing someone? Never wanted a bad thing to happen to someone? I somehow don't believe that

I'm the total opposite I don't think things through I just do it. After I do something stupid and my head clears I think about what I've done then hate myself for a few days but it doesn't stop me from doing it again. I spent 27 years screwing up but this year I decided to make things better so far so good.

People kill babies everyday and call it a 'choice'. It isn't surprising that a society doesn't value a babies life anymore.
