    In this case I think the judge got the sentences about right. This case shows quite well just how bad things can go when people have faith or belief in superstition and the super natural.

    No..... the judge didn't get it right. Those two animals that did it need to be strung up. If they are that unevolved to be believe they were doing the right thing, they should not be in a Western Society FULL STOP!

    Re: Witchcraft

    Yeah I found this case absolutely shocking and while the sentences are quite strong perhaps also deportation at the end of the sentence, asset stripping etc should be considered in cases like these where the guilty have completely failed to integrate (assuming they came from somewhere).

    Be Careful on the Internet! I ran and tackled a drive by mining attack today. It's not designed to do anything than provide fake texts (say!)

    Re: Witchcraft

    I struggle with the concept that these people can even use witchcraft in their defence or a way of legitimising their behaviour. these people are just barbaric creatures and the sentencing has reflected that.
    Witchcraft is not a belief system that condone battering a young person to death the basic rules for Wicca people is "An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will"
