A cannabis-smoking delinquent was free to rape and strangle a 16-old-girl after social services admitted they were 'powerless' to stop him.

20-year-old Zakk Sackett is facing a life sentence today for the murder of Jessie Wright which was the culmination of a sustained reign of terror on the estate where he lived.

Residents and social services on the estate in north London had already expressed their fears in emails that he was 'going to end up killing someone'.

Sackett became obsessed with Miss Wright, a former convent schoolgirl, before attacking and strangling her while high on cannabis.

    He also ate cornflakes that day, took a dump and washed his hands! Therefore he is a cornflake-eating, shit-machine, serial hand washer who smoked ganja and killed an ugly girl!

    Really, the media in the UK love a story with any kind of weed input :facepalm: :mad:

    Edit - just saw it's from the Daily Mail

    Wow, that's the reason why everyone has such a down-looking view on Cannabis, as the media picks up on these stories and makes them seem like it was all because of the drugs. People like this should be shot. Drugs aren't bad, it's the people that use them irresponsibly or can't handle the effects which ruin it for everyone else.

    About as specific as prefacing those involved in school shootings with the title of chronic masturbators.

    Like the NRA's 'Guns don't kill people either, people kill people.' argument, the 'drugs aren't bad, people are bad' argument is just as flimsy. Socially, some drugs are pretty much fucking awful: alcohol, meth, nicotine1. Contrast this with caffeine, it has its drawbacks but people don't usually kill each other as a result of consuming it, however much they "can't handle it".

    1) As part of tobacco consumption.

    If there's anyone at that news place who'd like to write an article about how cannabis makes people into violent rapists, I'd be eager to hear it.

    Because all they've done is take one thing that the guy happened to be doing at the same time and decided amongst themselves that it was the cause, and to present it as the cause.

    The Daily Mail, like all newspapers, is in the business of appealing to its readership.Then again their association between [url=http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.d738.full

    Fucking cunt, why didn't they shot that fat bastard in the first place. If he was pulling that shit in PK he might have gottent killed in public. Drug my ass, that pervert was going to do her anyway. The drugs helped him loose control but he had made up his mind anyway.

    Britain has been dominated by left-wing 'progressive' politics for a long time, Dfg. Criminals have been increasingly seen as victims of social and personal circumstance by the liberal justice system. Consequently the victims of criminals frequently have their rights superceded, by the police, by the courts and by politicians, as the criminals themselves are regarded as being just as victimizied as their victims (if not more so).

    Yes, it's as big a fucking mess as it sounds.

    In contrast the guy has the look of someone who's surprised they've made it this far in life without being euthanized.

    Not necessarily saying it's bad, but as proof of just how Right wing the History of the Daily Mail is pretty well known here in the UK.
