| 1133917 | 2010-09-03 22:03:00 | Prefect is talking the usual nonsense about Judges who are constrained by the law. The Police for whatever reason chose not to lay manslaughter charges so more serious penalties were not available to the Judge. Not sure why one would be sickened at the country as the country didn't do the crime, some idiot did. Unfortunately there will always be idiots and this won't be the last tragedy that will hit the news. Remedies like lowering the alcohol limit will achieve nothing in preventing people like this driving, they will only bring more people into the Criminal Justice system who have a one beer and go home. Heavy penalties won't change it either, in fact as we saw in ChCh recently it just makes it more likely the idiots will try and out run the Police to escape. We all ready have life imprisonment as a penalty if the Police choose to lay a charge of manslaughter. So for all you folk that want to start shooting people, we can be sure that approach in itself would cause injustices (people shot in error) and wouldn't actually prevent tragedies happening. For those who want a criminal justice system like that, move to Iran and you can start having the joys of stoning people. |

| 1133923 | 2010-09-04 03:21:00 | Not sure why one would be sickened at the country as the country didn't do the crime, some idiot did. . It is our justice system that has facilitated the killing of this innocent person by not taking appropriate action against the filth responsible. 17 convictions? Every Judge he has gone before has blood on their hands, every single bleeding heart soft-cock has blood on their hands, Every person in the justice system has blood on their hands, and we the population of NZ let it happen again and again. So yes, sometimes I am sickened by what we allow as a country. |

It also gives the opportunity to study the various trends regarding offenders age, blood alcohol levels and occupations. Of those 45 and over, the occupation 'driver' seems to appear too often! I have observed this before, where the more elderly citizens seem to think the law does not apply to themselves. Also over represented is people in darned boring work... plasterers and gib stoppers. Perhaps the drinking is in response to a job that isn't very stimulating... or conversely, perhaps a job that requires less care also allows the workers more latitude regarding their being fit to work. |
