Robbed ... Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs
GREAT Train Robber Ronnie Biggs couldn't escape his jail sentence this week, to many MY Sun users' dismay.The robber, who was jailed for 30 years for his part in the robbery of £2.6 million in 1965, was set to be released but was left stunned after Justice Minister Jack Straw refused his parole.
But Biggs, who cannot walk, eat or drink, is no longer a threat according to some on MY Sun.
MugginsNo1 said: "This is an old, sick man in his 80th year who played a small part in the Great Train Robbery 46 years ago.
He should have been released years ago. He is no threat to anyone.
"This is a matter of what is justice and injustice. Before the Great Train Robbery this man worked as a carpenter and paid his tax, which is a lot more than many have done these days."
Despite his crime, weefatshug reckons the time behind bars is excessive: "There are folk who commited worse crimes that have already been released!"
jojo873 added: "He has done enough time. Why is it okay to keep him locked up so much longer than child killers?"
He stuck two fingers up at justice and now should do time for it.
Biggs, who was rushed to hospital after declaring he has "nothing left to live for", doesn't get any sympathy from mombser2.
He said: "Here is a guy who committed a crime and was sentenced for that crime. He did a runner, he is no hero. His sentence should stand as he normally would have had it increased for absconding.
"He should certainly have the medical treatment for his bad health - IN THE NICK".
hottenrider has nothing but contempt for Ronnie: "He did the crime then he should do the time. He went sunning it up in Spain, laughing at the justice system and now he wants back in so he can get full medical help for his problems."
It's time Biggs did his sentence, reckons Mikethecarebear.
"Ronnie should stop whining on about his 'injustice' and bloody well do his time. If he didn't want to do porridge, he shouldn't have gone round robbing trains."
Was Jack Straw right to refuse parole for Biggs?
Or is his place behind bars?
