that poor woman getting stabbed at work doing her job, for no reason whatsoever by a 13yo. what is happening this world today ?
and adult crime adult time laws bought in by the new premier just weeks ago doesn’t cover attempted murder . where do you start with these clown politicians . really
The infatuation with deflecting away from the actual abhorrent crimes to whichever right wing shadow you wish to sook about is such a ■■■■ weak character flaw of far too many these days
Really ! Why the Fark would you blame politicians for a 13 year old stabbing someone ? My first question would be to Parents, then maybe Teachers and then anyone who knew him.
Law makers need to take stock of the current state of the system. The kids a psycho who recently caused horrific burns on a social worker, if my memory serves me correctly, by throwing boiling hot milk on her:
It’s like all of these kids conducting aggravated assaults , car jackings and home invasions only to be let back on the ■■■■■■■ streets 14 minutes later to reoffend.
Then there’s a chorus of wankers accusing people of being right wings facists if they talk about the facts of this offending.
The politicians pander to who’s going to keep them in power and its now only that’s there’s a growing chorus of scared citizens taking to the streets to voice their concerns that perhaps their will be further law reform.
Agree that the parents are likely non existing or smoking shards somewhere but the courts have an obligation to the citizens to punish these evil ■■■■■■ accordingly and stop giving them countless soft warnings
What, specifically, should politicians do? Because you’re making broad statements about "pandering ". To whom? Who exactly doesn’t want a reduction in crime.
Yep agree with that, but it is not up to Politicians or Governments to tell Courts what to do. Mandatory sentencing does not work, and makes young offenders become hardened crims. The Court needs to ensure the community is safe by good sentencing guidelines.
not sure I blamed the politicians for the attack . my point was that Lnp got swept into power on youth crime , with this big idea of adult crime adult time, and didn’t include attempted murder as one of the crimes . I said nothing whatsoever about politicians being responsible
We need to talk about wrap around services, because for many kids who I was chasing when I was a cop, came from dysfunctional homes, poor socio-economic outcomes, etc.
