I understand all the issues with capital punishment, but i also think this country is a soft touch when it comes to punishment

I think something that puts the aggressor in the place of the victim, can work - we live in such a 'safe' world, that people aren't being confronted with reality, enough.
I found that out when a 'youth' decided to step in front of me, hurtling downhill on my bike, for a 'laugh', there was no way I was able to stop & I ploughed into him..
the look of shock on that kids face when he realised that even a 60kg bloke on a push bike is going to hurt when he hits you at 20mph, was priceless...
cause & effect appear to have come undone
