Thread: Karma - a true story

Great great story,

Has he a job? Or are we “keeping" him and his feral mates? Beside the stolen goods he has taken possibly from the persons that go to work to “keep” him, I have no sympathy at all for thief’s and junkies, and further, he or his mates should not be a part of our society and or culture. Let the feral go to the slammer (preferably located middle Simpson Desert) indefinitely. Don’t mind paying to keep “em there!

I don't like the precedent it sets.

I'm glad your neighbour got his bike back without too much damage and some thieves have been caught, though.

you are kidding aren't you,
too bad the guy that reversed over him didn't kill him, there is defenetly not enough Summary Justice in this country.

No, not kidding.
I think even scumbags' lives are valuable, precious and worth defending. I want justice but I don't want you or I to mete it out on the spur of the moment. If the courts decided that the guy needed 3 days in the stocks or a drubbing, etc. I'd be plenty happy. But a medical professional deliberately trying to hurt a patient because they have a personal beef with them bothers me.

Well, if the judiciary handed down reasonable sentences that were adhered to, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth attitudes in the populace might not be as prevalent.
There is a general feeling in the community that criminals have more rights than victims.

Well, let's do our best to change the judicial system. Rather than break the law to get our own justice we should change the law.

Or should we get a group like ISIS over here to show us what it's like when any group with a beef makes it's own justice?

Um, where in my story does anyone break the law to get justice? The criminal broke the law, and got what he deserved. Just because I think that is just, doesn't make me a monster. I laughed myself silly while being told all about this - as did everyone else there...

Well mate, that is one strange attitude you have got !

Living in the Tasmanian highlands must have removed you from the possibility of being a victim of crime.

As for ISIS, credit where credit is due, I'm all for chopping off any thieving bastards hand, its just their attitude towards women that I'm at odds with.

A good karma story.

That will likely happen when he takes up residence at Her Majesties..
