Thread Name: Who was Bobby Sands?
Subject: RE: Who was Bobby Sands.......
It is true that some murderers were released early - and I use the word murderer, not in any emotive sense but because that was crime of which they were convicted. Perhaps they should all, as super ted suggests, have been hung but hanging British soldiers would have such a bad effect on the morale of the rest of the Regiment. No, no. The best idea is this - after they have been in gaol for three or four years welcome them back into the army.
