This is Dermutt retelling his life story through another person.... "De Goey is like me so he is going to leave his original club just like me, under similar circumstances"...

That’s for the justices system, they considered that and punished him just like you and I would get punished. That’s where it ends

True. He’s been punished.
It just seems like you don’t think drink driving is all that serious.

if he was black and lived in texas, he'd be on death row about now....
It’s not up to the club to punish him, I have never had a single point on my license for anything in 10 odd years of driving. But we have a justice system to deal with these issues they punished him and that’s where it should end

Yeah I know, it’s just that you said earlier it was a minor offence.
Well that’s how the justice system sees it

Yeah I know, would be great if penalties were tougher. Might save a few hundred people a year.
J - I've been a professional driver for over 30 years and speeding although a blight is not the major cause of accidents.
Stupidity is - in all it's many guises on the road but it isn't penalized because govts are obsessed with revenue raising through speeding fines.

The justice system isn't infallible and is criticised widely for often not being in line with community expectations or sentiment particularly as attitudes change over time.

I was talking about drink driving. De Goey was caught with an alcohol reading of nearly 0.1 in 2018. I see this as a major incident.
Well that too is a major issue but one that should carry a criminal penalty - after all if you have a reading of .1 you are knowingly endangering the lives of other road users.
To my mind it is on a par with standing on a freeway overpass and dropping huge rocks or chunks of concrete onto the freeway.

Not only that but continues to chose "The people's front of Judea", while everyone else choses "The Judean people's front

Does that make De Goey a felon under our law?

No. Try again. Felony isn’t a term used in Australia. It is a US term misunderstood by many.

Ok. What’s it mean in the US?

It is a level of crime - quite serious. Drink driving isn’t one. Neither was the initial charge to De Goey. It was a misdemeanour. Now downgraded to a “violation” - I think that is the class of the plea bargain charge but am guessing on the last bit.
So coming online and posting that JDG is a felon is ignorant, wrong and defamatory.

So would it be more accurate to call him a convicted criminal, under Australian law, due to the drink driving charge being a criminal charge?

I didn’t say he was a felon mate. Just asking a question.
Thanks for clarifying.
