Subject: RE: BS: Lockerbie bombing fall-guy to go free?
i can't help but think that if HE is guilty, then what is to stop him carrying out some other atrocity? i know what ending i would choose between quick and easy or slow and painful.
i can remember thinking at the time of his conviction that he was a scapegoat and although i am not scotish i am proud of their reasoning, taking the moral high ground and not wanting to come down to the level of, it doesn't matter if he is guilty or not we will keep him here.
although the celebrations of his return were indeed in poor taste, wouldn't we do the same if the boot was on the other foot? ... micheal shields? is that the guy who is accused of attempted murder of the barman?
didn't we all breathe a sigh of relief when he came home even though he is still in prison.
i am worried as to why he was allowed home as long as he dropped his appeal, this does smack of something fishy, but we will never really know.
take care all and remember, there is nothing so important as those we love so never take them for granted.
