My feeling of relief is not simply because a) it must offer some small degree of comfort to the parents or b) the concept of justice is immensely important in any society, but also because c) while they could boast about "getting away with it", it must have encouraged other ignorant racists to think the same way.

Glad to hear that justice has been done. I have some much admiration for the Lawrence family and their determination to get justice for Stephen over such a long period of time.

What a pity it took so long!

Thank goodness for that - they have been bragging that they were untouchable for years and at last justice has been done.

Oh, that is so good. (Hadn't heard News)

I know it won't give Stephen his life back, but at least it's justice.

What is wrong with being glad that justice has at last been done? I don't think many of us were in any doubt as to their guilt - but for the family there can be no feeling other than perhaps some relief that this part of their ordeal is at least over.

absentgrana no you are not!

Praise be! Justice at last.

I feel for the Lawrence family they have served a life sentence themselves waiting for justice to be done.

Thank goodness!

Indeed.

Justice at last.

Gary Dobson and David Norris have just been found guilty of murdering Stephen Lawrence. AIBU to feel a level of satisfaction about this news?
