I hoep he is executed. However, if the childs family wanted blood money, would he be released?

I am asking based on the recent case where 3 people who burned a man to death were released after 1 year in jail because the victims family accepted blood money.

This guy was a repeat offender as well....

As for civil rights time, if killing a man can lead to just 1 year, they may have let this guy off with a few years as well.

But I am glad the child's family asked for execution.

I believe he'll get the death penalty nothing less "crossing my fingers" but look how some are driven by feelings more than facts. now just bcz the guy was a British well, lets give him a couple of excuses and be nice with him LOL this is from the other thread: I personally agree that the...

While it wasnt a necessity, its a great idea to brand the UAE. Amidst all the positives and negatives i encountererd in a trip to malaysia, the main image I have in my mind to date is that of the fully lit Petronas towers. The Burj will play a similar role. It would be great if on national day and n...

you guys are making such a big deal out of this bail out story, I'm telling you guys it's always been like this !

When "connected" people brag about how they average 20000 dhs a year in fines, and how they make it "disappear", no amount of "fines" is going to stop people. if you have such rules here, rich, unconnected people will have to pay them, while rich & connected people ...

How can you call Dubai your home, when you can be forced to leave if you lose a job and dont get another ?

There was an article in the National recently, where it was stated that one reason some people dont obey traffic laws is "not to be mocked by peers for not being above the law".

Y Take a look at India - Australia an the racial tensions between the two countries.

In some countries, like North korea, even true statements can be considered libel. The fact is that in some cultures "honor", and "reputation" are more important than anything else. So in extreme cases, a murderer will claim that he was "defamed" when the victims family...

He is definitely genuine, and lots of his words resonate with what I have heard other Emirati speak like. He is quite a nice person.... I enjoy having him here, as more often than not, he brings a new perspective into the mix. :) For e.g., if I remember correctly, Bad driving is ok because "Its...

Actually this case is not as baffling as some of the others that I am seeing in UAE 1) Waiter gets life in jail for having 0.16g of metamphetamine 2) 3 Men get 1 year in jail for burning their driver to death simply because they were rich enough to pay blood monet 3) 2 convicts get 1 year in jail fo...

Its about how unique the first/last name is.

On a similar note, Genghis Khan is more often referred to as Genghis than as Khan simply because Genghis is much more uncommon

You guys can argue all you want, but that wasn't the intention of this thread. Don't we have enough of those already?

i would rather they open stations late but completely up and running rather than opening them hastily to meet some day like 10.10.10, and then closing for "maintenance" for 3 weeks
