1133926 2010-09-04 05:53:00 Those will be the judges and lawyers that are blank. (opps, sarcasm muted now)

Yeah. I imagine the blanks are a mixture of unknowns and unemployeds, although I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bit of occupational protection going on among those figures as well.

1133927 2010-09-05 00:04:00 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.

Whether you like it or not you live in a country that is a liberal democracy and therefore gives its citizens rights and freedoms that the type of Government you appear to favour doesn't.

The down side of having freedom is you get people abusing it, although no system you choose to come up with will prevent tragedies happening, in fact if we became the sort of country you seem to want we can almost guarantee there would be more.

You generally appear to confuse the three branches of Government in New Zealand in pointing the finger at Judges. Your constant ranting about how the failure of New Zealand Government (albeit usually dressed up as attacks on one arm of the Government) makes me wonder why you don't hop on the plane to Iran.

Surely Iran wouldn't sicken you, they appear to have implemented all the Criminal Justice initiatives you want and a few more. Damn I know, too liberal for you and stoning people is so bleeding heart soft-cock isn't it?

1133928 2010-09-05 00:15:00 well, that justifies it then.

Excuse me while I smoke some crack, grab a gun, walk into a school,put on a blindfold and fire off a few random shots.

Lets see if I get stopped before the inevitable happens and someone gets killed.

Lets see if I can do this 17 times spread over a number of years, surely here in NZ they will just smack me on the hand and then let me go do it again, and again, and again, no ones dead yet, lets do it some more...

Whether you like it or not, stopping people from killing others is a good thing, But for some queer reason you do it with a car while boozed and its viewed differently by the justice system.

Not sure what your school shooting trip fantasy has to do with it, but in the western world at least, intentionally causing a death generally gets a higher penalty than accidentally causing one. To cover off where an idiot drives a car where he could reasonably have expected to cause a crash, you have the charge of manslaughter.

Now you can quite rightly argue about the penalties for those offences and I'm sure everyone would pretty much universally agree this guy got off lightly, but in a case like this if the Police don't use the manslaughter charge (and I can't see what he was actually charged with), there is not a lot the Judge can then do impose a longer sentence.

The guy who did it sickens me - not the whole country.

Anything I can do to make you feel sick is all my pleasure. Take a panadol and stop sniveling for a week and you should feel better.
