| 647312 | 2008-03-08 08:56:00 | **** me, They refer to 17 break-ins they have charged him with, There is probably a couple of hundred he got clean away with. And its a little harsh to call him a recidivist? The 0ffered 19 grand reparation was declined by the state? WTF? Fire the damn fool who came up with that crap, Put the lad to work scrub cutting the minute he gets out of jail and hand over 70 percent of his wages as reparation until he is 25, He will still have plenty of time to look after himself after he has made amends. But no, Lets look upon the thief as a poor victim, after all, he has a couple of months of jail ahead of him, then a lifetime of collecting our tax money...... Oh Metla. This person is seriously disturbed. After all, on the stolen list was an iPod. :yuck: Seriously though I agree with your sentiments in general. We do have a court and law system but there is no justice system. |

| 647314 | 2008-03-09 01:38:00 | To have an effective Justice system, there needs to be two things, A reasonable certainty of being apprehended for the crime, and A punishment that is a sufficiently severe deterrent that, anyone caught won't want to have a second dose. The NZ Justice system lacks in both these requirement. The Police are under manned, under supported by government and the public at large, and controlled by such a politically correct regime that it makes it difficult to effectively police society. Enough of the turn the other cheek, and a slap over the wrist with a damp bus ticket, make those caught regret their actions - a lot more deterrent punishment is sorely needed. Years ago I sent one of my airmen down for 6 weeks for steeling from his comrades in barracks, he was a cocky little sod, when he returned to unit after his six weeks corrective training in an Army run Glasshouse , he had undergone a major personality change, the cockiness gone, quiet and very respectful of authority. The Army does not want the job of cleaning up society's scum, but it could teach the Justice Department, how properly applied corrective training can produce lasting attitude changes. |
