    2 kids killed = Community service

    Once again, the NZ justice system lets down those who are least able to defend themselves. I just cannot believe that 1: Lindsay Rowles was not charged with manslaughter, and 2: the soft-cock judge gives him community service? her summing up (what I saw of it) painted him to be the victim.

    No way is he a victim. He has learnt nothing from his stupidity and pig-headedness that killed his children.

    Pisses me off.

    It never seems to amaze me how 2 children can lose their lives and the person who contributed to their deaths gets so many hours of community service work as punishment. What a bloody joke the law is and how wrong it is. 2 beautiful healthy children died through no fault of their own and thats all their lives were worth. Why is it that a person can kill another person and get off a jail term thru being given community service work as punishment and yet someone who robs a bank or assaults another person can be given a jail term. Wheres the justice in that?.

    Yeah, I felt sorry for him when it first happened but then angry when I read what actually happened. What a moron. And then to read about biting the head off a mouse and his other offences - well, I rest my case.

    I was really pissed off when I saw the judge offering sympathy to him last night on the news. He, of all people, deserved to have the book thrown at him.

    Hopefully they were their only two kids and they are now too old to breed so their genes will die out when they do.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Well you would think having his kids taken off him would be punishment enough but it would be hard if I was the judge to just not give him the full manslaughter and gross neglagence, child abuse etcetc charges just out of anger

    One with strong genes will ensure the survival of their offspring and hence the continuation of their lineage.......

    He was probably a real family man and losing his kids the biggest punishment in the world , if he was like most people he would give up his own life for his kids alive, he would have a life in prison to have his kids , he would chop his arm off to have his kids alive, it was an accident theres no point punishing him anymore than what hes got and what he carry for a lifetime , some funny attitudes on this web site

    No - there is a difference. Farmer Brown was not pissed or stoned. I consider that incident to be an unfortunate (but not entirely unforseen) accident - however his duty of care was to his daughter, 'an ommision without lawful excuse' if you like (hence the reason he was charged). a bit like Lindsay Rowles' actions, although IMO Rowles had futher aggravating behaviours that made his actions even more culpable, however maybe outbursts such as those by GSXer and the wider public have probably gone some way to form Police and public opinion of possible outcomes when adults kill their offspring, so now it just appears that it is more acceptable, and that if you kill your kids through stupidity and/or recklessness, that YOU are the true victim, and you should be spared, as obviously you have already been punished enough.

    Have to disagree with you on that.
    The kids drowned because they were wearing lifejackets and were told to get into the cabin when things started to turn pear-shaped. The "adults" were being protective of the kids but ended up doing the wrong thing.
    If pisshead-stoner had drowned, then that would be darwin in action.

    Remember the passenger jet that crash-landed in the water very near a beach? Most people drowned because they inflated their life vest inside the cabin...
