The Stephen Lawrence case was an absolute travesty caused by, as the MacPherson report said, "instititutional racism" in the Police Force.
But it is not down to you, me or anyone else to decide that, because *we* don't like what happened, we should start "administering justice" (read "getting revenge") ourselves.

Simple he should not of broke the law in the first place then he would not have needed the protection. |
So anyone who breaks the law is thereby "fair game" to any bigotted vigilante?

Wonderful, great.
Now try reading
this story about a guy who did *NOTHING* wrong, yet, because of the actions of some narrow-minded (or should that be "like minded"?) individuals who share your opinions, had his business, his family and practically his whole life *DESTROYED* by petty vigilantes.
Read it and tell me that you think the people who persecuted him were doing the "right thing".

Well said. But don't let the tree hug-in loony libs near them. They will end up letting them sue the victim.

Yes, we've seen your prejudices, thank you.
Now try doing a little research and a bit of thinking instead of trotting out the same tired old bigotted nonsense.

I would think he needs security because the majority of right minded people abhor the fact that we have a system that allows people like this to settle in open society. |
I think you mean "right wing minded"...
We have a system whereby someone who is convicted and found guilty of a crime is sentenced to jail and then released "having paid their debt to society".
Unfortunately it seems that some "right minded" (or, as above, "narrow minded") people aren't willing to accept that.

He was in jail. He has served his time. His sentence is *OVER*.
It is not for you or those "millions" of "right thinking" people to take matters into your own hands if you don't like the way the system works.
