"Restorative justice"

[tigertim20]

And he thought he had gotten away with it. He hadn't. Somewhere along the lines someone has believed him and given him a second chance. T'would seem that some fuckers just don't believe in second chances. And over a phone of all things.

ummm, This:

And I wonder if he had ever done stuff/taken stuff and NOT been caught...

Glad I'm here to state the obvious.

Yes, he lied. It wasn't theft, it was dishonesty at best. And it was dealt with. Same as any other fucked up situation where a person is caught. Hope he doesn't do it again.

Fuck me, how the hell can you argue in favour of his actions with such certain and complete conviction? were you there to see it? are you a fucking psychic, capable of reading his mind and feeling his repentant feelings?

How would you ever know if they are a repeat offender? They could leave apology notes everywhere. Get a bulk discount at the local office supply place, or nick a business copier...

What if the first offence is a car, the second a laptop but the third 'only a cell phone'?

Fuck it - give him his second chance - we all know that post grad students will never amount to anything anyway, have more money than they know what to do with and don't have any need for technology. They're lazy fuckers too, never doing any work or going out of their way to take advantage of life's opportunities. Probably never go on to contribute anything to society like our friend the caretaker. After all universities don't exist to advance the cause of students, they are there to provide social justice for the dishonest.

I'll take the first obvious answer on the right please... a repeat offender is indeed a person who has been caught more than once. Didn't some guy in the Us do that. He broke into someone's private residence and stole some goodies and 17 years later returned some of it with a letter of apology? But you should find a second hand copier and go into business with the underground caretakers association of misappropriation.

Ooooooo now that's a really tricky one... did the "perp" keep and use the car, the laptop and the cell phone?

Don't knock the system man. Accountants are really important.

Is that what I've been doing? Glad you were there to put me right. Thanks for that

Why are you all bullying me?

What do you mean "caught"? It was all a misunderstanding. It was only found, not stolen. There was an apology and all was forgiven and is now well with the world. what do you mean "repeat offender"? What are you trying to accuse them of?

He got caught and deception is a crime. I'm so weak. I wish I was so much stronger, just like you.

I forgive you. I'm sure you will be stronger next time.

Fuck this is easy.

Really? You promise?

What is?

[Smifffy]

Really? You promise?

What is?

yeah. accepting a bullshit excuse and waiting to be shown how insincere it was at a later date.

I wonder how much success I'll have at proving a repeat offence?

Is that what I did? Fuckin good job you guys are around here to keep me in the learn.

I'm going to assume that if a person has committed an offense once, that the next time they commit one will be seen as a repeat.

[Virago]

...Why are you all bullying me?

Why are you taking offence?



Oops, sorry - you didn't take offence, you just found it, eh...?

[Akzle]

I wonder what part of the process was "restorative"?

it's definitely restored my belief that your society is fucked and getting fuckeder.

have fun with that...

[mashman]

Why are you taking offence?

I did. I found it in your hurtful and belittling words

[Berries]

Burn him.

Not mashman. The thief, or treasure hunter depending on your point of view. Actually it would be a bit like Time Team but instead of digging a hole in a field and finding lost valuables they would knock out a rear window, climb in and rifle a few drawers and then find a wallet. And a cell phone. They would have to rename the show Police Ten 7 or some such shit.

I've never accepted the PC push for calm resolution using fuzzy feel good words. The way the justice system has dealt with wrong doings against me is rather disgusting, or in fact how modern society handles many touchy issues like this. I did Jury Duty once and it was a JOKE. Bunch of useless pricks all dressed up like that makes any difference to what they did. When all my racecar spares and car was vandalized by 2 guys escaped from a detention centre I was devastated. They were 2 underage kids, so the police basically dropped them back and when they went to court got told to say sorry then got diversion. Should of pulled out the .22 the minute things were discovered and taken them out at the kneecaps, the 12 gauge would be ready for if they still felt like proceeding. There is no justice like your own; I've discovered that many a time after things fail to be resolved at all by feel good letters or accepting forgiveness as my savoir.

Thankfully half the time I don't give a shit and do my own thing to resolve such problems. Haven't shot anyone over it........yet
