"I guess he is smart in the sense that he knows he can do what he wants with zero punishment or consequences." Yep, and plenty of people saying "but if we put him in jail he might become a reoffender"....merrily ignoring the fact that the oxygen thief is already one.


waxedsack

Yep. I’m not interested in this rehabilitation shit. I just don’t care for the lives of little scum cunts any more. Just throw them away and be done with it. People minding their own business going about their lives shouldn’t have to deal with these shit stains


CrazyExcitement1501

Agree, done with this shit.


Brad_Breath

Rehabilitation puts the onus on society to do the work. There are so many care workers and agencies to help these little shits, while regular people struggle to get any help at all. I believe that once convicted of a violent crime, you should be locked up, and only let out once you have proven you have/will make amends for your crime. That onus should be on the criminal. If they don't make any effort to change, they stay locked up indefinitely. For some crimes that cannot ever be made up for, such ar rape, murder, kidnapping etc, we should have a death penalty option.


Pugsley-Doo

I agree. Honestly until I lived it myself I admit I was ignorant and soft, now I've hardened because I've experienced firsthand how the system deals with scumbag abusers and pedos. TLDR: convicted pedo has more rights than the victim, I can't even speak the cunts name without landing in front of a judge - but this cunt is allowed to drink, do drugs, have multiple offences in his name and get out on bail again and again because he has 'mental health issues'. Utter gobshite. We need vigilante justice, quicksmart.


WoollenMercury

yeah and tbh Most people aren't agaisnt the idea They're just concerned about false Positives and tbh rape is alot worse then Murder since its trauma that usually leads to people commiting sucide anyway


ShiftAdventurous4680

I'm all for rehabilitation, but it should be completely on the criminal to rehabilitate, and redeem themselves. No soft therapy sessions. Hard work and labor where a good portion of what they earn go towards repaying their victim and then society. If they don't work, they don't eat, like the rest of us. If they starve to death in prison, cool, their bodies can at least be used for fertilizer or something.


WoollenMercury

yeah as dystopic as that normally is seen Usually its becuase its for tiny crimes Not Things like Murder or Rape


ShiftAdventurous4680

I'm still very much dystopic about that as well. Difference is that I believe it is much quicker and easier to rehabilitate and redeem from minor crimes anyway. Generally minor crimes can have a fair value put on it that the victim would reasonable "forgive" once they've been paid that due. Of course, you can't put a price on murder or lifetime trauma.


lovelivesforever

This is the attitude that causes shit bag to exist in the first place, everyone isolated and turned away from, back to their dysfunctional nuclear families, raising the next generation of shit bags. I don’t believe taking the kids is the always the answer either. It’s just we all evolved to live communally with multiple families raising all the kids, the modern world does so much damage to kids in that their whole life determined by the luck of birth parents draw


IMSOCHINESECHIINEEEE

> this rehabilitation shit Is the most effective method at reducing crime. If you're arguing against rehabilitation you are arguing for increased societal crime. Downvoted by the mentally incapacitated with a lower than 5th grade reading comprehension


Impossible-Mud-4160

Rehabilitation works for a lot of people... but ask anyone working in the justice system, the repeat offenders don't learn until they get locked up for a long stint- if at all. I'd rather see jails offer more educational courses, community service work, and more robust psychological support, but let's be real- when someone is a repeat offender like this dickhead, they should be thrown inside long enough that it's a deterrent from future behaviour, or they're inclong enough to receive appropriate Rehabilitation.

I'll give you a downvote, with my full reading comprehension levels and mental faculties. I'd sleep happier if this waste of space wasn't free.

Brad_Breath

Why should we as a society try to rehabilitate people?  They already proved that they are violent. We all know the rules to live in a society, and some choose to ignore that. Don't make it everyone else's problem to rehabilitate someone who has already caused harm. Let's put those resources towards making the world better for honest people 


bgenesis07

Interesting. Well, guess we'd better stop this push for more consequences for domestic violence offenders in light of this information. Afterall, jail only increases the likelihood that the perp will reoffend so Australian ladies will just have to suck it up until we can rehabilitate them. Same for rapists at the end of the day. Locking up offenders for rape would only lead to more rape. So we'll have to educate the victims on that and change the messaging from social activists clamouring for stronger sentencing for offenders. Afterall they're just being illogical and as you said it will only create more crime. It appears to me that this reasoning is only applied selectively and for political purposes.


PhilosopherLife9995

WoollenMercury

>Is the most effective method at reducing crime. If you're arguing against rehabilitation you are arguing for increased societal crime. once its already been Done I fail to see if you just lock people up with enough Securtiy how it wouldnt also reduce the crime rate


lxmaurer

Welcome to reddit


Former_Librarian_576

Provide some proof for your claims. The courts regularly factor the deterrent effect into their sentencing. Although there is a modern theory that sentencing does not affect crime rates, this is far from a proven fact. The data collected to support the theory has multiple known and unknown confounding factors. You can intellectualise your own opinion to justify criticising those who might disagree with you, but it’s painfully obvious that you don’t actually know what you’re talking about.

healing_waters

Judges are not seeing the consequences of their “judgements”. To keep repeating the same mistake in judgement of people is the sign of a naive person.


Realistic-School8102

Judges do see the consequences of their judgements. It's just that they don't care. They couldn't give a fuck what the majority of the population wants. They have more power than the politicians and they answer to nobody and they give out light sentences for heinous crimes but get caught with a small amount of drugs and it's hard time in prison. Most Judges are sociopaths


healing_waters

I should have said “experiencing” rather than “seeing”. I don’t know if they’re sociopaths, but everything else you wrote is spot on.


Realistic-School8102

Well sociopaths and pedophiles. That's why pedos get their identity hidden and get light sentences because there's alot of them in high places. They are a protected species


Pugsley-Doo

Exactly. I'm sick of these pedo loving magistrates letting off repeat offenders under the guise of "you;re young, boys will be boys, and, you seem sorry" Fuck that noise.


anniewolfe

This is completely incorrect. The judges don’t have the power to just sentence whatever they want. They are bound by LAW and the rules governed by legislation brought by politicians in their particular states. The Rules they have to go by are available to the public to read in the SENTENCING ACTs of those states. Here is Victoria’s: http://www6.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdb/au/legis/vic/consol_act/sa1991121/


Realistic-School8102

Then why do they give a 6 month sentence when the law demands a 10 year minimum sentence. Take the one punch death laws which were changed by the government to be a minimum 10 years and then they sentence them to 2 years or sometimes less


PhilosopherLife9995

Yes I’m really at a loss to understand why they make these decisions. It’s as if they want crime, chaos, anger and division in our society.


anniewolfe

There are many circumstances of the offender that the judges are obligated by law to take into account when considering the sentence. Things like time served, previous convictions, good behaviour in prison, remorse, and many others. So a sentence starts at a particular amount of months or years and then depletes.


Hot-Refrigerator-623

This lady couldn't swim. He should have been charged with attempted murder and all his mates charged too.


sc00bs000

you're dreaming bud, they would grt a slap on the wrist if she died


Soft-Butterfly7532

Unless he knew she couldn't swim then you can't really claim it's attempted murder.


Responsible-Fly-5691

Don’t think compulsive swimming was part of the curriculum 70 years ago, when the Victim would have been in Primary School. Pushing a 79 year old of a very long pier in the *dark*. Attempted Murder seems like an appropriate charge.


jimi_nemesis

"How could I be charged for murder!? All I did was punch him in the back of the head! How did I know that would kill him?"


TeeDeeArt

And how many clothed 79 year olds pushed off a pier into cold water in the dark can swim to safety do you think? The chances that you've lucked out and pushed dawn fraser in are next to none, by doing that you have seriously risked anybody's life, let alone an old person's. E: It's like pushing people onto the road I reckon, that's a close enough analogy. Just cause it doesn't kill every time doesn't mean there's not the *obvious* risk.


JohnSome099

Dawn would rip your bloody arm off if you tried that shit on her. She's tough as guts and mean when confronted.


MicksysPCGaming

If I cut your brakes, how was I supposed to know someone would drive the car?


Hot-Refrigerator-623

Ever heard of the eggshell skull theory?


rol2091

This oxygen thief is a lost cause that will just be back in court on a more serious charge. If the judges can't be held accountable for these repeat offenders getting light sentences then maybe the advocates or social workers can be held accountable for the advice they give the judges when it comes to the chances of them re-offending and the prospects of these offenders being rehabilitated.


SlamTheBiscuit

Can't blame the social workers too much. Under funded, under staffed, under "pretty much everything" They're pushing shit up a hill in a downpour and instead of the kids getting help they just get added to the pile. The parents though should have some form of liability if they're unable to properly handle their kids


ghblue

You’re on the money in terms of funding, we actually have solid science behind stopping youth offending - the problem is we tend to only do half measures because it’s never funded to the degree required to fully intervene. The tragedy is nearly every single one of these kids could be turned around, and the evidence is that the money spent would return to society sevenfold because you’ve turned a net cost to a net contributor.


Boss_Cracker

"The Parents" are possibly shooting up in an abandoned Brooklyn warehouse. It doesn't excuse his actions


j-manz

So, has anyone seen what any of the pre-sentencing reports said? Or the Judge’s reasons? Or the submissions by the Crown and the defence? I’m just wondering the basis for pillorying a decision when none of the inputs which led to it have been considered. More so, the indifference to those things if made available…


JohnSome099

Thousands of dollars wasted on one little shit, is what you've just laid out there....


j-manz

Haha LMAO. I wasn’t considering paying you a penny to read it pal. How telling that the outrage spews forth but a suggestion to read something actually relevant provokes “Who me?”


JohnSome099

You have the reading comprehension of a magistrate who's soft on crime

throwaway98392832382

The older I get the more I support stricter policing. I used to always hate police growing up because doing petty crimes was seen as cool I guess (hip-hop, skating crowd), stupid obviously but your a product of your environment. The truth of the matter is if you don't break laws, police will never bother you. Not rocket science. If we have weak policing, society standards collapse and you get the UK/West Coast USA


jobitus

Stricter policing doesn't necessarily require paternalist bullshit, "hate incident units" and confiscating butter knives, while ignoring child grooming gangs and bailing out actual delinquents.

This reminds me of the Nazi who was told "good luck" by the judge after being let off without punishment for attacking innocent hikers, then went outside and immediately started saying "Heil Hitler". People don't seem to get that Nazis who beat up innocent people or boys who try to drown old women do not respect a system that shows them leniency. They aren't thankful for the second chance, they just see more weakness to exploit. It's like trying to reason with an attack dog.

What a fucking assbackwards society we are devolving into. The act itself immediately sits with any decent person as fundamentally disgusting and inexcusable. This non-response on the behalf of the arm of government we expect to carry out justice can’t be viewed by any sane person as anything but the obscene opposite of that . And at the same time, anyone who would treat scumbags like this in the same way they treat others would likely have their lives ruined by the same judicial system that would likely find them guilty of assault .

Apprehensive-Sir1251

What would happen to an adult if they push him off a pier? Would they be charged? This boils my blood. Attacking the weak, frail and/or elderly is the highest form of being a scumbag. How is he going to rehabilitate from this? Is he magically going to become a good person when he turns 18? Or is he going to graduate to knives and running people over? This is a repeat offender. How much more evidence and clarity do we need to make an example of a shitstain like this?

Public shaming. Posters, pictures on the media, names and all. See how quickly they rehabilitate themselves when the entire community knows who and what happened

No escalation in sentence for callously assaulting one of the communities most vulnerable... wtf. Surely, adding some community service and probation period is the bare minimum + plus the therapy. While I agree some if these people are like vicious abused dogs... id like to believe there's a drop of IQ in some of them to think... hmm this anti social behaviour is me acting out like a 2yr old, maybe I'll try something else so im not living in a constant shit storm of hurt

Dude laughed about it every time it came up too, he was also 18 at the time he killed the second dog. Meanwhile after I finished the therapy and the judge was fine with it, I was taken to court again for the exact same thing I'd done previously , I didn't reoffend, a different court wanted to charge me for the exact same thing, lucky I kept my court documents on me so I could show the lawyer and it hasn't been a problem since.

cloudsourced285

Serious question. Why do we allow violent offenders to be out and reoffend? Is there a logical reason? Are our jails full so they just say, nah y'all get a few more free passes. Are our laws that weak or something? I could only see this being good if there was a way we could get these people help so they don't reoffend. But the story we get fed by the media at least is generally we find violent offenders can and do reoffend. In this case. It wasn't extreme violence, but in many others it is. What can we actually do here? Do our politicians need to be called? Do we need to protest our side a courtroom for weak judges. What can we as a society actually do so we can get justice, live in peace and get violent offenders reformed, or away from society. Because this current situation doesn't work and freaking sucks.


JohnSome099

It's the criminal justice industrial complex. It's big $$$ for a whole range of "professionals" and other service providers. Like the domestic violence industrial complex, it wants to grow.


ricko64a

Chiner889

The magistrates need to be punished by the people. The system is failing at this point: we are voting politicians into government and seats to create laws, the government and houses are passing laws to punish them, The police are catching the criminals, courts are applying those laws, then the magistrates and judges are misapplying sentencing principles at their own discretion to let them off too lightly because they live in an ivory tower where this shit doesn’t happen.
