Sorry, no mob rule or lynch squads in Australia.

What will the rest of the world think if they read the comments from Land Rover owners on this site I wonder.

Where would people like to stop with capitol punishment?

What about that woman who has been charged with killing her baby and putting him in a suitcase?

Or,

...... an 80 year old being raped by a 16 year old?

...... a 16 year old being raped by an 80 year old,

...... bashing of an elderly person,

...... a 22 year old being murdered by a 24 year old which is alleged to have happen in Queensland's Sunshine Coast?

Need I go on?

As far as I'm concerned, and obviously the main steam population of Australia, is that we don't kill our citizens deliberately for crimes committed.

Others might like to go and live in places like China or Africa if they want blood for blood. There are heaps of 4x4 tracks in those countries as well .

Think about it!

Firstly, being blunt, who cares what "others" may think, being an LR driver isn't the be all and end all and certainly doesn't define myself. Do I think sentences and punishments should be harsher....definately. Ulitmately we are animals, survival of the fittest and all that, and as an animal I will protect my young at all costs.

As part of a society, I have an obligation to be a part of protecting those that need it. All the examples above may not require a needle per se, but I can guarantee you they do require a harsher sentence or punishment than they will receive. With all luck, they will meet an unfortunate fate and then burn in hell

True comments. We are a sad society over all. Even the court system is lacking. I don't believe many people are convicted to the extent of being 100% guilty.

I was amazed when I was 21 and picked for jury service. Sat on 3 cases and it really opened my eyes enough to 'keep clean'. Beyond reasonable doubt is a fine line.

Hope this critter and all like him get the help they need to make this country as safe as possible.

I'm sad to say it, but I feel that what I consider the most important thing in this whole episode has been more or less overlooked.


There has been quite a bit of discussion about what to do to/with the perpetrator - but very little to suggest what could be done to try and make the victim's lives easier. After all, they are the ones who are actually suffering now, and I imagine will be for quite some time.

Landyfromanuthaland, although I'm not actually in your shoes, I'd hope that you're being as helpful and supportive as you can to your neighbours. I can't imagine what sort of pain they're going through - in fact, I probably don't want to think about it.

I personally believe you should be trying to make life easier for your neighbours, perhaps by getting some of your other neighbours to help out with some things around the house, or invite them over for dinner or something like that. You probably know their needs better than I do.

Just my 2c.

Hope this critter and all like him get the help they need to make this country as safe as possible.

That's the whole problem, with natural selection, these types would be eliminated from the "blood line" so to speak. Because of that propensity from some to want to "help" these types, they are left to breed on and create the filthy little environments they come from due to a lot of the time the environment they have come from. We have the natural instincts of our ancestary, but with being civilised we don't take the measures that once we would have.
