Bash an old fella would ya!

[Grahameeboy]

Someone should ask the fella. Might already be in his victim impact report.

Maybe but suspect that is the last thing on his mind eh?

A young teenager like that will end up being some crim's 'bitch'. He'll get his arse cheeks parted on a regular basis!

Nope he will cry like a baby the moment he gets outta the van and they will put him in segregation,if hes that scared he will scream louder so as to get put in the 24 hour watch cell,justice would be put him in a mainstream unit and let them kick his head in.

Probably prefers to slit the guys throat with his bayonette... who knows....

[peasea]

Usual eye for an eye stuff......he like all criminals is entitled to name suppression and just because this case rightly tugs at what most people consider well beyond what is reasonable crime does not mean this guy does not have rights...I hear you say "what about the old guys rights"...but still does not prevent the Law process...shooting him is illegal and is a ridiculous behaviour response...makes you wonder who are the aggressors these days...

More important thing is that the old guy gets support and gets better and I very much doubt he would want to shoot the guy in the face and surely it is his view to voice not ours..?

I expect bad rep on this one but hey ho

Settle petal. Nobody is really GOING to race out with a gun, it's just your usual knee-jerk vocalisations. However, the perp isn't likely to get any kind of sentence that will make a lick of difference to his attitude/lifestyle etc. If/when he gets banged up he'll just get more street cred and when he gets out in six months he'll be 'da man'. I can relate to and understand why people (myself included) want to shoot these jumped-up dickheads but in reality you can't. But what DO you do? The longer his sentence the more likely it is he'll become institutionalised and gain that afrementioned street cred. Do nothing and he's not going to be 'rehabilitaed' is he? Where's the middle ground between shooting him and putting him on a pedestal?

I doubt any sentence will change him; the damage was done before he got to school age probably. I'd like to know more about his background to try and pinpoint what went wrong where. If we could learn that then we might find a way to prevent it happening in the future.

I feel for the old guy and his ilk, he and his mates fought for our freedom, freedom his attacker has enjoyed up to now but I doubt he's going to lose enough of it to make a difference. It's so, so freakin' sad that somebody who fought for a peaceful life is subjected to such an assault but what do you do? It happens so often too.

Nah... hes a tough cooooont who beats up 85 year olds...... he will want to be in the mainstream, coz he's so tough...

Nah... hes a tough cooooont who beats up 85 year olds...... he will want to be in the mainstream, coz he's so tough...

...and it's the perfect place to gain that all-important 'street cred'. Nup, what about solitary? A few months in the dark might have an effect.

[Patrick]

... If/when he gets banged up he'll just get more street cred ...

"Street cred" for beating up an 85 year old?????????? Most unlikely....

....try and pinpoint what went wrong where.

Being born, at a guess....

Get a gun??? I heard it somewhere.....

You are right..................

[peasea]

Ya sure have.

So, speaking hyper-pathetically, if you were on the bench and this assailant was brought before you, and found guilty, what would you sentence him to?

[Patrick]

Speaking hyper pathetically...

Out to the grassy bank/wall out back, so its safe for the cheering crowds who all paid me $$$ to view the execution, ya see....

"Any last requests?" and Just as he opens his mouth to speak, I say... "FIRE!!!"

And a volly of shots from the RSA members of the firing squad is heard......

Ok, sounds fine.

Next case please!

[ManDownUnder]

Get the jumped up little bastard that did it in stocks outside the RSA... and let the members exact revenge.

Huh? you have me all wrong.... I'm all for forgiving violent offenders, giving them a 500th chance, spending millions upon millions on "rehabilitation" for repeat offenders making our country unsafe....

oh wait, i'm taking the piss, sorry, actually I provide a valid solution to a growing epidemic, unlike Hitler it is not Jews i'm after, it's violent thugs, polluting the streets, killing, assaulting, raping, and none of this is knee jerk, I stand by my long history of comments such as "shoot him in the face".

Eye for an eye....pfffft, nope, i'm actually a believer in a second chance- depending on crime, sometimes people will actually change, if they don't, well you've had your lot i'm afraid, it's about putting down the dog that bites, not releasing it back into the community time and time again, locking him in a cage everytime he bites, and expecting a different outcome.......savvy?

Good on you though, there has to be some tree hugging hippy out there standing up for these monkeys and pointing out their "rights".....

Oh yeah, i'm not the aggressor, i'm the reaction to the aggression, and if my bite is due to being prodded, then you deserved it.

[awayatc]

I am jumping the gun a bit.....
but if this country would ever decide to use a henchman again.....
I would happily pay for the privilige....
I'd even pay double for overtime....
