We’ve come to the point where it’s said with a straight face that it’s inhumane to imsprison a man to life in prison for literally butchering someone in the street.

While I agree the gallows would have been a more appropriate punishment, I am impressed by the speed of the British court system. Their crime occurred in May 2013 and in less than a year they have been tried and convicted.

Compare this to Maj. Hassan, the Ft Hood, terrorist, where it took nearly four years for him to be tried and convicted and potentially decades before he is executed. This despite there being no question of his guilt. Ditto for the Boston Marathon bomber who will likely not stand trial for at least another year. There is no reason that in either the Ft. Hood shooting or the Boston Marathon bombing the terrorists should not have been more quickly tried especially when there was little doubt of their guilt.

I thought 15 years was considered the normal max in Europa

From the Article:
The struggle in the dock was triggered when the killers, both wearing Islamic robes, reacted angrily to comments that Mr Justice Sweeney made about their extremist beliefs.

He told them: ‘You each converted to Islam some years ago. Thereafter you were radicalised and each became an extremist, espousing views which, as has been said elsewhere, are a betrayal of Islam.’

Elsewhere in the article:...Adebowale called out ‘that's a lie’ and ‘it's not a betrayal of Islam’ as the judge told them they had been radicalised. Adebowale WAS telling the truth! The judge WAS lying, or at least too blind to understand the truth!

They should be burned at the stake like witches of old
