Literally getting away with murder.

[RantyDave]

Well, manslaughter anyway.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/2752949/No-jail-terms-for-exorcism-manslaughter-culprits

tl;dr - Family in Wainui who killed their niece during a "mataku", found guilty of manslaughter, get 300 hours community service. Yeah, eight weeks litter picking for manslaughter. How long would I get?

[scumdog]

And oh how harsh the 'penalty' - pffft!

[Mully]

Disgusting.
If a dog had done that, the dog would be put down so it couldn't do it again.

Except a dog can't pour water, cos they don't have thumbs.

[short-circuit]

Except a dog can't pour water, cos they don't have thumbs.

Ahahaha. Is that really you Gareth Keenan?

[RantyDave]

t a dog can't pour water, cos they don't have thumbs.
We were taught that, in the Army.

[Hitcher]

Apparently this is the first reported time that anybody has died as a consequence of waterboarding.

It must have been a really stubborn demon.

[tri boy]

14yr old mentally troubled girl, dies due to the siblings cruelty, and they walk, with the gallery clapping applause.:angry2:
FFS! NZ justice system, hang your head in shame.

[Murray]

Living the rest of their lifes in Wainuiomata will be worse than any prison sentence

[XRVrider]

Jeez, and dont even start me on the Kahui twins. No-one guilty... BULLSHIT!!!!!

[SixPackBack]

I fail to see an issue....not like they were caught doing 92 in an 80 zone:whistle:

[Nagash]

I remember a post was put up not so long ago with a video showing native Africans brutally beating and burning several people who were accused of being witches.

Many people said they were barbaric and were shocked this sort of thing still goes on.

Just gotta look in your own neighbourhood I guess...

I'm truely shocked at what they did, ignoring their sentence which was just bollocks. They picked at her eyes for god's sake.

[rainman]

Now I'm about the furthest thing you can get to a Sensible Sentencing/David Garrett fanboi... but that verdict sucks.

"all five were to have counselling or assessment for any treatment they might need to address on going issues resulting from the death." WTF? Hope that is just bad journalism.

"Justice Simon France today told the siblings that their understanding and knowledge of their culture was not complete." Yeah, I'd say.

[riffer]

Meh. It's recognition of Darwin's Law in effect. They wiped out their own family.

Horrible sentencing though. I'm astounded if that's true that the judge commented that them having a different culture would be a mitigating factor in sentencing. That's a clear breach of the Treaty of Waitangi, in which signatories became subject to the laws of this country.

[Slicksta]

Just another day in NZ eh sad reality of criminals being treated as victims, while there is prison space for the guy who does the odd recreational drug

[StoneY]

Jeez, and dont even start me on the Kahui twins. No-one guilty... BULLSHIT!!!!!

Amen bro- and my current home-burb gets the rep of having the inbreed demon slaying righteous 'spiritualy misguided' population..........

Oh lady Justice- I cry for thee:crybaby:

[ynot slow]

So when mormans or jehovahs or brethrem annoy me I can drown em,and say I didn't know their culture of demon cleansing.

Bloody good lawyer they had(at our expense).

FFS do they still think maui fished this bloody country from the sea,seems they do.

[puddytat]

How long would I get?

Dave

A lot longer I'd say Bro....your from the wrong culture.:whistle:

Lucky they're not up on a breach of the geneva convention.

Why does this kind of shit always involve niggas?

[Slyer]

Is what they did really much more barbaric than all the people that believe I'm going to burn in a fiery hell forever?
At least it's after I die I suppose.

[Deano]

So the 'dunking' test for 'witches' wouldn't be worthy of a jail sentence either ?

The mind boggles.

[Devil]

"He accepted they had not realised the danger of what they were doing..."

Are you fucking kidding me? The people who did this were in their 40's and 50's. I'm sure you've learnt by then that even the smallest amount of water can result in drowning.

[Devil]

Will the loser with the "racist" tags own up?

[325rocket]

now i have to search for the "whats wrong with new zealand" thread and change my reply.
what a fucking load of shit.

[Metalor]

That's fucking disgusting... imagine the terror the poor girl must have been in the entire time. Fucking animals, they should have the same done to them but ten times over. Absolute fuckwits, they definitely need a bullet.

[98tls]

Get used to it,no doubt theres far worse to come.Sad but without doubt true.Dont smack your children but hey drown as many as ya like,madness.

[Dave Lobster]

They picked at her eyes for god's sake.

Heh heh.. very good :)

[Okey Dokey]

Yet another sad day for "justice" in NZ. I wonder if this stuff gets reported overseas...embarassing, really. People will think we are running around in grass skirts with bones in our noses and maybe a bit of cannabilism, too.

I know this sounds redneck, but FFS

Off topic (kinda), but did anyone else see the photo of the rabbis flying over Israel and blowing into rams' horns to try and stop the spread of swine flu?!? Every religious belief seems pretty laughable if you are not a believer.

Posted a link to it on the TL site,plenty of the English guys saw the similarities with there justice system.

[Okey Dokey]

They say misery loves company, but it just makes me sad that another country could come up with similar verdicts...the world is crazy, except for me and thee..

Sadly "little England" was never more right.

[Swoop]

It might have been undersized, but since it was for a hangi, it was acceptable.

[bsasuper]

Next time I im standing in front of a judge, who asks why I was going so fast, Ill explain I was recreating the first launch into orbit of the taniwha, should get me couple hours litter collecting.
