Justice

[Baggers]

Analogous but at the same time different in my mind. I just can't see reason in cases like this as you do, you clearly have a experience in this area and I appreciate your voice of reason. Thankfully I'm not in charge, prisons would be empty and cemeteries would be full (of the scourge of society). I have issues with scum who have priors, lists as long as your arm, who just don't learn and are put back into society. Or dangerous individuals who are granted bail only to commit further serious offences. I am not as naive as to think we can stop this occurring altogether, but I do think a lot tougher penalties and reform around granting of bail is needed in this country pronto. Our legal system seems to favour the perp rather than the victim IMO.

Same page. Absolutely on the same page. So often the leniency given to perps (blue collar or white collar crims) is a bloody great whack in the face to the victims. And a system that knowingly sends dangerous/broken/mentally ill people back onto the streets is seriously fckd up, seriously in need of an overhaul - huge overhaul. It's a cliche that judges, once setting a certain crim free, KNOW they'll see him or her again soon.
