    I find anyone being attacked quite disturbing. I don't feel sorry for him though, I'd just prefer that people didn't celebrate it. That sort of thinking leads to a mob mentality and we've seen the damage that can do when (as usual) it's misdirected.

    Well, if your issue with Sutcliffe is that he attacked defenceless women and brutalised them, what does it say when you think it's ok for a mob to do it?

    It's a slippery slope that one.

    I know, it's a contradiction. But I'm full of those.

    He did he attacked a 14 yr old girl .
    On 27 August, Sutcliffe attacked 14 year old Tracy Browne in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silsden"]Silsden[/ame]. He struck her from behind and hit her on the head five times while she was walking along a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footpath"]country lane[/ame]. He ran off when he saw the lights of a passing car, leaving his victim requiring brain surgery. Sutcliffe was not convicted of this attack, but confessed to it in 1992.[5]

    I should have been more specific, he never sexually assaulted children. And in the case you quoted, he didn't know how old she was.
