Should the Germans Have Dropped Their Investigation By Now?

Some people seem to hope that The McCanns killed Madeleine.  Now that's a strange one since they can't possibly know.

So it must be hope.

It most certainly.
Personally I don't know who hopes for that. Neither do I know anyone who hopes they didn't.

Can I ask - have you never hoped for anything, ever in your life?  Does the phrase "I hope...." simply not exist in your verbal lexicon?

I know you asked it of another poster, I once saw a proud woman reduced by cancer to look like some one who had just emerged out of Belsen, I hoped she would survive, did it help, did it feck, gave up on hope then.

Thanks for cheering us all up.

That's sad, but hope is an understandable, normal human reaction - what I find sad is cynical judgement of those who still have hope.  And I'm pretty sure you still have hopes on a daily basis, whether you consciously notice it or not.

I think what they actually hope for is that the McCanns will be punished one way or the other, regardless of what actually happened to Madeleine.  They believe the McCanns are the most contemptible and terrible parents who got away with it and were rewarded for doing so, and they can't bear it so want them to suffer and to be punished.  Some people are very vindictive and emotionally invested in the fate of Kate and Gerry, IMO.

I really don't care if they're never bought to justice.

One day they will both be dead regardless, & that brings me great comfort.

That's really weird IMO, but thanks for sharing - you might get a few likes for that one.

I was told that life's a beach and then you die.  But to each his own.

Accepting the possibility that Madeleine's parents could have been involved in her disappearance isn't the same as hoping they killed her.

No?  You could have fooled me.  It's the glee you see.

Thirteen years of chucking muck at the parents and along comes a Convicted Paedophile and Rapist worth defending.

Why the random capital letters during the sentence?

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't defend Brueckner?

He hasn't raped or molested me & I'd never have even heard of him if not for the McCann's preference of tapas over child care.
