BARRIE Hudson’s so-called joke about killing burglars and drug dealers and putting them under flower beds in his column was disgraceful.
He is clearly not right in the head to even think such a thing, let alone write it down.
If we showed more sympathy and understanding to people like burglars and drug dealers instead of stigmatising them they’d stop committing offences.
I wonder how Barrie will feel if somebody takes him at his word and he ends up accused of incitement.
He shouldn’t be surprised if detectives come to his house and want to dig in his garden.
