Anne Maguire murder.

[merehazle]

Will Cornick the teenager was 15 years old when he stabbed teacher Ann Maguire,61, to death as she taught at a class at Corpus Christi Catholic Colledge, in leeds in April.

He excchanged messages with a friend early on Christmas day on Facebook. ''In those messages he spoke of 'brutally killing' Mrs Maguire and spending the rest of his life in jail so as not to have to worry about life or money.''                                            

He continues to show no remorse.  If ever someone was evil it must be him.  The only sentence for him surly is a whole life sentence.  

At the moment the judge say's 20 years in prison, and he may serve a whole life sentence. Why give him any hope? He did not give Ann, any. And who should have this monster living next door to them without knowing it?  The judges  perhaps?

Warning there is a picture of Will Cornick on my attachment.

No, it's not the same as video games where the object seems to be to outwit and "kill" as many of your "enemies" as possible and you walking past a shop once a day isn't the same as wierd people spending hours and hours, often for days and days locked in "combat".

It's not long ago when there was either life-changing violence or a killing (can't remember the details) where a bloke (it's always a bloke innit?) was angry because he'd been disturbed while he was playing one of those games.

I don't know if there's any link between the current lack of respect for life but there's very aggressive, nay violent video games of all sorts. When you've done all sorts of things, then stop and re-start the game again, all the "people" you've "killed" have all come back to life again.....

Fantasy/reality all mixed up?

I doubt they are a huge problem but then we don't have such games in the house! Probably more of an issue that they are not outside blowing off steam.

Point taken! 😀

A few years ago a report by Parity suggested that more than a third of domestic violence occurred where the male was the victim!

There seems to be very little support for such individuals.

If the man is the guilty party there are immediate calls for him to be incarcerated without bail, (in many cases the best answer), but I have never seen calls for similar action to be taken against a female. 

There are refuges set up for women to escape to with their children and social services support for women to keep them and their children together - there is very little such support for men or their children where it is the woman who is the guilty party.

One of very few support groups for men is the Mankind Initiative

Yep, I was a victim 20 years ago, my course of action was for us to go our seperate ways, but that's not so easy for some, especially if children are involved!

I totally agree, but once again you have the stigma of a man complaining & being laughed at, very wrong in my opinion it shows the mettle of the man in as much that he doesn't retaliate!.you say a third I suspect the numbers are higher because once again they don't come forward. Im sure there are many men in torment but unless they press charges the same applies to them the same as abused women, & as the other poster has said if there are children involved it can be difficult & I'm sure women in this same situation feel the same,,leaving both sexes in further danger!.
