715377 2008-10-28 20:52:00 Maybe its time to forget vigilantism against the offenders, and target a few judges. Scare the rest to get in line

As for the offender, yeah this is yet another in the long list of boyracers who race their flash cars and kill yet another pedestrian, all for the sake of pumping up the ego of their 2 inch dick.

No point blaming the cops in the end, they go ahead with proceedings, only to have some limp dick judge throw it out, or pass a jokeable sentence.

Christ couldnt have said it better myself.

715379 2008-10-28 23:03:00 from the article:
"He said people should not regard home detention as an easy option.

"People feel desperately trapped in their own home. The loss of liberty and the ability to leave the house to enjoy social recreation is keenly felt and it is not an easy sentence," he said."

So you mean for some of my friends who do nothing but choose to stay at home and play WoW all day, the enjoyment they get from that is actually quite difficult? If it were the judge's daughter killed, the life wouldn't be viewed so cheaply.

715380 2008-10-28 23:45:00 Oh what I would do to this guy if I had the chance...

Not an option the daughter wants to to take Jen - the Police there got long memories (and from previous experience, she learnt her lesson).

715382 2008-10-29 02:53:00 Ah the "Sensible Sentencing Trust". A great example of modern day newspeak.

I would imagine most New Zealanders have engaged in reckless driving at some point in our lives, but most of us are lucky enough that nothing came of it.

On the other hand, going 120kph in suburban Christchurch is pretty out there, and he 'should' be treated similarly to a drunk-driver.

Looking at some other drink driving manslaughter cases:
www.safe-nz.org.nz = 5 Years.
www.victimsupport.org.nz = 4.5 Years.

Would the outraged masses be appeased by that sort of sentence? It seems reasonable to me.

Yeah, right!

715384 2008-10-29 05:18:00 I never know what to say in these cases,except to say,how does a person kill someone and virtually walk,how does a chap torture a girl, rape and then kill her then walk after a few years in the slammer,I just can't see the justice!
There are endless cases of this nature.

715385 2008-10-29 14:18:00 About 40 years ago the was a Magistrate named Stuart Hardy on the Bench in Hamilton.
His daughter had been killed by a drink driver.

Anyone who came up in front of Stuart Hardy SM for drink driving got at least 30 days inside - no exceptions.

That is how it should be.
