| 1426501 | 2016-09-26 20:44:00 | Wellington rugby player Losi Filipo unpunished for brutal street assault www.stuff.co.nz All good if he can be kept out of prison & turn his life around, but he should still have had a conviction & some level of punishment . Looks like different laws for different people, again. Rugby stars and the wealthy get lesser sentences . |

| 1426503 | 2016-09-26 21:11:00 | There was a comment on Stuff re the rugby/stripper thing saying rugby players get a free pass, and that got hammered with thumbs down. They are untouchable, even those with a "promising career" Bizarre. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1426504 | 2016-09-26 21:18:00 | Whilst this country is ruled by the wealthy, rugby-worshipping, so called elite, we will continue to be outraged by this sort of double standard. Meanwhile, the rest of NZ must cower at home, unable to walk the streets safely, in case a drunken lout who happens to be good at a stupid field sport, happens not to like the look of you and coward punches you, yet escapes any form of meaningful justice. Pretty ****ed system if you ask me. |

| 1426505 | 2016-09-26 21:19:00 | Most of us would loose our jobs if we went to jail. Not sure why some are deemed on another level where it wouldnt be fair for them to go to jail & loose their job . If NZ Rugby were really so concerned about this guy, they would have signed him even if convicted . Or do NZ Rugby think its OK if let off, but the same crime is not OK if convicted ? |

| 1426506 | 2016-09-26 22:19:00 | This isn't the New Zealand I grew up in. I would hate to see what NZ will look like in another decade or so, but being an old guy it won't worry me too much. | Pato (2463) | ||
| 1426507 | 2016-09-26 23:43:00 | Beyond my comprehension, so can't comment, apart from I think the game is made up of thugs, so what do we expect. | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1426508 | 2016-09-26 23:58:00 | .. apart from I think the game is made up of thugs, so what do we expect. Its a game when "big hits" are seen as good thing. A tackle so hard , the intention is actually to hurt the other player . Big hits, why not just give them 2x4's . |
