Another example of the violent rhetoric which goes without comment on
this list.

The death penalty is completely inappropriate for this kind of crime.
It should be reserved for the most serious of criminal actions, the most
egregious murders, terrorism, genocide.

An appropriate punishment for a judge who violates his oath of office
and sentences someone wrongly to prison would be a prison sentence for
the judge himself, some multiple of the unjust sentence.

Calling for the death penalty for crimes which do not themselves involve
killing only cheapens life.  Before long you too will support shooting
graffiti vandals and nuking London.

Well I can't say much for the UK AFAIK they have no constitutional
protections of free speech. Here in Amerika any elected offical or
government employee found to have willfully violated the Constution of the
United States of America should be put to death.

No, this judge is guilty of false imprisonment, if I kidnapped you and 
falsely imprisoned you for 3 years in a 6x9 cell where you would live 
with another inmate, and prison officers who may turn a blind eye when 
you were raped by the other prisoners, I should be expecting to die for 
my crimes.

No, I support flogging of graffiti vandals (killing for repeat 
offenders), and assasinations as a means of removing government 
criminals, nuking is too indiscriminate.
