There's always been the narrative that kids over 18, give "assignments" to younger kids, because they get off scott free.
We should not tolerate it, it encourages older criminals to corrupt children.
If some children need to be imprisoned to break the cycle so be it.
Or go outside the box...
It appears to be a case of the legal people looking after their own, but we have no idea what the extenuating circumstances were.
Also , while he went to a forum and stated that he "wanted" to do certain things, there is no evidence that he ever harmed a child, unlike the Ditterich case.
There was a department of health warning, i think just last week.
Recent rain and mushrooms were sprouting/.
In Melbourne suburbs there were more poisonous mushrooms than edible ones.
It could be very difficult to tell the poisonous from edible ones.
Hard to prove that though.
You "think" they are a serious threat.
So you want to imprison them cos "ya reckon".
Can of worms.
Its something they need to be considering when they give out those light sentences in the first place.
Not sure if there is any legal way that can happen.
You do a crime, you get a punishment. Makes sense.
They "think" you might do another crime if they let you out......? Thought police.
What's the criteria for parole?
Behaving well in prison?
What if bad behaviour was never an issue?
Might as well let them out if they pass a math test, its irrelevant to the crime.
It still gets me that money becomes untraceable in this day and age, yet they know well enough if you bought something from china and didn't pay the 50c GST.
I guess the fake ID's are the thing, and uncooperative agencies in those countries.
The character witness thing seems kind of outdated, from a time when people believed that certain occupations , or positions in society are more highly regarded than the commoners.
So if a doctor or a lawyer :/ or a priest gave you a character reference , then it was a big deal.
Same goes for...
So you think we should remove character references from the legal system entirely?
Fair enough , but as it stands its part of the system, not sure what the difference in sentence would be if person X think's you're a good bloke or person X thinks you are a bastard.
I think the legal issue is that someone who has committed an out of character crime shouldn't get the same sentence as someone who has made a habit of that sort of behaviour.
If i was the one who was falsely imprisoned, and i had the choice that he do equivalent time, or i get what i consider "reasonable" compensation. I'd take the money. Might have been something along those lines.
Apparently it is. He seems a bit hard done by in the big scheme of things, i'd think people like him would have had trouble resisting Bunting. I wonder if Jail was actually the best, most stable part of his life...
I'm thinking that real hit men probably don't kill as many people as people would think. Dale Flannery back in the day ( with the help of our most corrupt cop ) probably averaged one hit per year. $50 000 in 1984 would have been good money if you were working a normal job, but hardly...
Prison facilitates release in some cases.
They tend to look at their "behavior".
Many of them never had problems with general behavior in the first place.
The same can be said for mental treatment.
Not everyone in those circumstances is stupid, so you can just "pretend " that you no longer have...

Girl, 12, on Sunshine Coast torture charges a violent drug user likely to reoffend, judge hears
That's pretty horrible.
Statistically there are only around 100 homicides from burglaries ( home invasions ) in the USA where they have more than a million burglaries and 300 million people. I think that includes the deaths of victims or perpetrators.
So its not the common crime you'd think.
