A Comment from My Blog - Is this harsh
 

Before i started my blog i made a promise to myself that i am only going to speak from the heart and i have, i will only write from my heart, i am not going to bullshit.

Here is a comment from my blog about something that happened here in Australia not long ago.


Our Justice System fails us AGAIN
Posted by Batts on February 2nd, 2006

Why does this not surprise me, our justice system in Australia is like a funny show on the comedy channel, with our Judges and Magistrates playing the part of a comedian. The court system is a complete joke and it is failing our community again and again.

Sadly two beautiful sisters Colleen and Laura Irwin were murdered by that dirty filthy scum William John Watkins. He stabbed them to death in their own home, Watkins was living next to them at the time. My condolences go out to the family and friends of the sisters.

Now here is the part that I find disgusting. William Watkins was a convicted rapist, who was in 2000 sentenced to four years and three months jail with a minimum of two years after pleading guilty to rape, aggravated burglary and theft and then in 2000 again he was sentenced to an extra years jail after pleading guilty to intentionally causing serious injury, a grand total of four years and three months jail time. The maximum jail sentence that a judge can impose for rape is 25 years, but he got just 8% of 25 years.

In 1998 William Watkins bashed a blind elderly pension senseless, after he bashed her, he then tried to rape her, but her loud screams were heard and he left. Watkins received 12 months jail for bashing the poor elderly lady. Maybe the judge was having a bad hair day that day or maybe the judge is a complete moron who holds no respect for human life whatsoever. How could anyone in their right mind sentence an animal like that to one year?s jail for such a disgusting attack? And because of this Judge, two beautiful humans have been killed, the judge needs to be held accountable for this sad tragedy. It is us the tax payers who pays our judge?s yearly income and this is what we get in return for that and mind you it would be an income well over $ 100.000 per year.

As I guessed, Neither the County Court chief, the judge in question nor the commissioner of police would comment yesterday about this tragedy and they wont, they will just sit back and let it happen again and again, why would they want to do anything about it, they are all sitting on there six figure incomes for the rest of their life?s, they don?t want to rock the boat. Something needs to be done about these clowns that we have in power, someone needs to stand up and say ?We are not going to take this anymore and we are going to change the way the court system works and make it better for the community that pays our income?, but it will never happen because our politicians don?t have the balls to change this.

The court system can be very simple in my view and this is how it should be:

If you rape a person ? 50 Years Jail, Minimum

If you rape a person again after you have severed your 50 years ? Death penalty

If you murder a person ? Death penalty

If you steal ? 50 years jail, Minimum

You may call me harsh, but this is the only way to deter others and protect our community. We do need the death penalty in Australia. It is time for a change and for our Government to protect our community and do the job that they are being paid for by us.


Now this is how i really feel about it and i will post a comment from someone that read my blog:

You are absurd?..what if a judge decided what you do is a form of rape, or one of your models lost her mind and said you forced her?I guess you?d have 50 years to think about that one huh?? No legal system is perfect. The judge made a mistake. People die and terrible things happen to good people. No need to go blaming someone for everything that goes wrong.

I get this all the time, becuase i shoot porn, i cant have any views on anything becuase i am such an evil person.

What fuckwits.

50 years for stealing something is a little harsh.

cliff notes?

That is one of the most idiotic things I have ever read.

50 years jail costs the taxpayer about a million dollars per prisoner... and you would have someone sentenced to 50 years prison for stealing something?

Grow a brain.

The more popular your blog gets the more negative comments you'll get. It's just part of the blog game. Consider it a sign of success--if no one is hating on you, you maybe doing something wrong with your blog. The key is to get animated, get personal, get DEEP. Then they'll lap it up and come back for more. It's not a question of whether your opinion is wrong or right, its whether your audience will come back for more :)

I alreadyhave a brain. Thanks :thumbsup

So i am guessing it was you that left the comment on my blog :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i see your making new friends. :thumbsup

There's never a reason for the death penalty, Batts. Human life, in whatever form, should be the most sacred thing to all human beings. If it's not, you should question your own humanity, not the criminal's.

Oh, the humanity!

:1orglaugh

Get some, punk. :321GFY

No, that's called a delusion. :1orglaugh

Why do you think he only got 8% of 25 years? I will tell you, because he pled guilty. It is called a plea agreement and they do it because the court calendars are do full that they make these arrangements to save time.

Remember, they have to prove their case. They don't have 100% chance of winning. It works to their benefit also.

But blame your legislature for the laws, not the courts.

What your trying to say, is that it is ok to run around and bash,rape and murder people, he deserves to live, thats what you are trying to say.

Quote: Human life, in whatever form, should be the most sacred thing to all human beings" He is not human, he is a monster.

punishment for stealing is 50 years of imprisonment?
that's injustice...

the logic behind penalties (criminal law) is that punishment should be commensurate to the offense. unless stealing is also known as robbery with homicide... even though, it is not fair!

We need to deter people and the only way to do this is to have harsh punishements, criminals enjoy a great life in this country, they get pay tv, play stations, lap pools, what more could you ask for.

You gave more thought to that post than he did to his blog entry. Congrats.

Maybe you should start your own blog and make some money that way.

Then fuck the 50 years in jail crap, just do like in Saudi Arabia and cut off one hand for stealing. Much cheaper and more effective.

You start seeing one-handed people walking around it probably becomes a pretty good reminder to keep your hands to yourself. Literally.

for fucks sake can you PLEASE start telling people you are from Uzbekistan

If you think his life should be forfeit because of how he acts, how is that different to him thinking another person's life should be forfeit? You're thinking the same way he does. Kill the 'bad people'. Can't you see that?

Your missing my point, why is everyone so against the death penalty. If you kill a human, you should die, what right have you got to kill a human, they dont deserve to he here. i am sure if it was someone close to you that was killed, you would be all for it, it is just no one has the balls to come out and say what thye are really feeling, everyone is scared of what people will think of them.

In some places they chop off your fingers for stealing something, then set you free again.

That seems to work pretty well. Maybe Batts could petition Howard into cutting off peoples digits.

Its funny how Batts feels sorry for ugly people...but then he thinks they should die when they fuck up.....

Batts should stick to bloggin. :2 cents: :1orglaugh

Can't we just talk about something light like religion? ;) See too many affiliates in here to give my opinion.

His maths sucks that's how he got 8%.

There is a HUGE difference in pleading guilty to get 4 years and being proven guilty to get 25 years. I think what you missed is that batts is saying this discrepancy is ludicrous. :2 cents:

Killing is killing. Putting a criminal to death is essentially the same act as that criminal murdering someone.

If someone killed someone close to me, I'd be happier to see them getting 40 years of suffering for it, rather than an easy exit.

It really is.
There is so much wrong with the justice system.

If you think that's bad, just look at what it costs to keep 1 person in jail per day. In QLD the cost on the prison farms minimum security costs upwards of $160 a day, almost $60,000 a year. Now considering some of these places hold upwards of 300 prisoners, this is over 18mil a year. Off the top of my head I can think of at least 5 prision farms like this around Brisbane, thats almost 100mil a year; not including Wacol which holds thousands in medium and max; and this is only one sub-region of Australia. The cost alone of keeping prisoners in the system is ridiculous; hence judges who know this sentencing dozens of people a day probley hold back to save some money depending on if they think the convicted can be reabilitated.


It's not harsh, its crazy. Unless there is 100% positive way of identifying every crime then penalties such as these, especially the death penalty are unfair. Everyday you hear of stories of innocent people convicted on nothing but circumstantial evidence with no physical proof.

You'd quickly change your mind once a family member or friend was convicted.

you sound like you come from a crazy regime like iran or something

Batts sure is one dumb motherfucker. :1orglaugh

castration for convicted rapists would be fine by me.

minimum sentences never work. and i don't think jail or even death is enough to stop someone who is determined or mentally ill. rather than sticking everyone in jails and trying to use a fear based approach to really solve these problems you have to get them at the root. what made the person a rapist, murderer, etc. but no one wants to do that.

The death penalty issue is a personal one. No amount of debating is going to change they way you feel about it, so if you are trying to just explain your position, great, but if you are trying to change someone else's, you may as well save your breath.

Unfortunately, that would only keep the dick out of someone. Since sexual gratification has nothing to do with rape, castration would serve only to make the rapist use objects to alleviate his rage.

Your just a complete fuckwit, where in aus are you .

Ok we have the death penalty is the US. Guess what people still get raped and murdered. In the old west days they hung people all the time even for stealing. If it was such a deterrent why did they have to keep hanging people? Texas executes more people than all the other states combined and they do so every year. If it's such a deterrent then why are they still having to execute people? Why did they have to pass laws where everyone is allowed to carry concealed weapons to defend themselves? If the deterrent is working there wouldn't be that need. There wouldn't be any crime.

People who commit rape and murder do not think about "deterrents". You'd think thinking spending just 1 year in jail and getting anal raped every day for that year would be deterrent enough, but it isn't. See rapists and murderers don't think logically. In fact most don't think they'll get caught at all so why would you think about being put to death if you don't think you'll ever get caught? And if you think you might get caught then why take the risk in the first place.

Personally if I was found guilty and my choices were life in prison with no parole or the death penalty I'd take the death penalty in a heartbeat. Who wants to be raped every day for decades on end and also have to live with the possibility of getting shanked? At least when the state puts you down they put you to sleep like a sick kitten. Trust me, being stabbed to death would not be pleasant.
