The poor fellow needs "help".

Edit: why not provide this after he's served his time?

I ask again, as I have many times before when this type of story emerges..............

What party of government is going to change this tide of lenient attitude towards criminals so that those who aren't can lead safer, better lives?

It would, I should imagine, be one with right wing leanings, but, when this type of party emerges they and their policies are classed as fascist or authoritarian.

We have to make a choice - whether we want the liberal society that we have at the moment, that which many people complain about on this and other forums.
Or a society where wrongdoing such as that highlighted in this thread and in many others is not tolerated and is dealt with accordingly.

You can't have it both ways!!

You can have it both ways. We can have a society that has human rights, when you cannot persecute people for being different, a right to fairness in the workplace, a right to be heard etc. but one that is also tough on ASB and crime and refuses to reward trumped up claims for 'isms' and flimsy excuses for wrongdoing.

Just reading through the posts on this forum, the majority of posters are fair minded people who believe the punishment should fit the crime. We need a party of common sense.

I don't! I think the punishment should be way over the top in terms of the crime.
