Sad isn't it.
My best mate got attacked out side a club this time last year, he died 12 days later. The lad who did it admitted manslaughter and turned out he had
been jailed for GBH out side a club 4 years ago. He got 3 years..... jesus i could get more for running someone over.... something ain't right
in this country!
Rany over
Adam
lad i knew got 4 years for killing someone who pulled out in front of him, cos he was speeding. Though bad, its not the same as attacking someone.
I wonder what the sentence would have been if the victim had killed the idiots who threw the bar into his car, a damn site harsher you can bet!!
The judicial system has been driven arse about face by politically correct interfering do gooders......
Could be worse, like on the west coast of Canada - liberal beyond belief. We don't have a "justice" system, we have a
"legal" system. Couple of months ago a guy here tried to chop off another fellow's head with an axe, just for something to do (no
fight, didn't know him, was just walking by). The victim lived, but is a bed-ridden, brain-dead quadraplegic. The bad guy? Got two months, but
no jail, as the time in trial was considered "time served". Things like that are a daily occurrence over here.
the druggies who broke my neck got 2 years each
and today i saw kids throwing rocks off the same bridge as last time. Really should've broken them instead of calling the police.

in Belfast some joyriders were travelling in the opposite direction to a taxi and decided to throw a brick through his window. Thats a closing speed
of at least 80mph i reckon. The taxi driver was lucky he lived but had to have full reconstructive face surgery. I don't think the people were
ever caught. They also regularly throw rocks off bridges as well. Lucky i don't live in built up area were there is a reasonably low crime
rate. You could probably still get the story on the BBC site. That's only a few weeks ago!
I think I'll spend more time in my garage from now on.
Hey Zetec7: are there going to be charges in the ICBC scandal? A bit weird if there aren't, don't you think?
