Cowardly Mongrels

[artme]

I have just spoken to my eldest son, who lives near Grafton. He is in hospital with a fractured skull, fractured eye socket, broken jaw, broken arm and a couple of broken ribs. He is bruised all over and has too many stitches in him to count.

Why?

At about 4:00am on Tuesday morning a carload of 6 thugs arrived at his home. Three broke in and demanded money. He was worked over with and iron bar or pipe, threatened with death and left in the above state. His car was stolen and torched.

He was able to phone 000 and was taken to hospital. He is ok but very sore and sorry.

The only upside is that one of these mongrels, the one who stole the car and torched it, then tried to steal another car. He was spotted by a passing motorist and arrested by the police. He was shirtless and covered in Stuart's blood.

Apparently this is a collection of well know miscellaneous scum who have many convictions for this sort of thing. One is only 16.

I am wondering how the law will deal with them and what smart #### lawyer will cook up some cock and bull excuse to justify their behaviour.:!

Not good Arthur hope he's mending well and soon out of hospital.

:~:~:~

Glad your son is still with us, sounds like he was lucky.

[Scott]

Begs belief. I hope those lower than low life forms get buggered in jail.

Hope your son heals well and is back on his feet soon Art, honestly.

This sort of s4hit make me mad as, where are their morals? Grr.

[tdrumnut]

Sorry to hear that Arthur here's hoping Stuart has a speedy recovery

[fxst]

Unfortunatly its becoming very common and the courts are helping make it happen as they won't jail the plicks just a hit with wet lettuce leaf and a way they go to continue on wrecking peoples lives. And the jails are full so I guess that makes it hard and then the lawyers go on about the rough time the poor child had, the disfunctional/broken home, drugs et al. Do adult crime be judged as an adult and jail them not the junior version end of story.:((

Arthur.

That is an absolutely disgraceful story to have to tell. I am sure I would not be alone in saying my heart goes out to you and your son. I presume that if thay have caught one perpetrator the rest will easily be rounded up (maybe). Do keep us informed on how this episode unwinds.

Please understand I'm not attacking you, but if he was lucky it wouldn't have happened at all.

The problem as I see it started when someone got the clever idea gaol was for rehabilitation rather than protecting the community from people who are a danger to them or their property.

Now all the arguments are made around minimising reoffending and the welfare of the offender rather than protecting and compensating the victim. Thus the envirosocialist elites get to argue on thier own terms.

I personally favour a system that calculates the monetary value to the victim and puts the offender in gaol at hard labor until the debt is paid.

but what would I know ? I'm clearly a redneck/neaderthal/insert PC insult here....

[Vernonv]

That is absolutely terrible. I hope he heals quickly.

Was it a completely random act, or was there some prior connection/run-in/bad feeling between your son and these low-lifes?

[artme]

Hi folks. Thanks for your thoughts and concern.

Apparently it was a random act. But I would guess that the perpetrators were probably high on some sort of dope. Left their fingerprints everywhere.Some were, from what I've been told, out on parole!!. Says a lot for the collective intelligence as well as the cowardice displayed.

[dhubilant]

Unfortunatly for you poor son these lowlife are allowed to continue with this type of crime, as stated several were out on parole!! for gods sake enough is enough:~:~:~ lock em up and make thier stay a long and painfull memory.
I am glad your son is physically going to be ok, however the phsycological scars of that event will unfortunatly haunt him for a very long time, I wish him all the best in his recovery.

Put them in the pen and it costs the taxpayer $23k year to keep them there, home away from home for a lot of them :((

Unfortunately, when it comes to court you will get legal procedure which in no way resembles justice.

Was in Dubai recently - no graffiti - When I asked some questions the answer I received was "There is no graffiti as the penalties are severe" - there was no elaboration re penalties.

Perhaps penalties instead of excuses should be revisited as the do-gooders pendulum has swung way too far.

I hope the young fella recovers soon and can get on with his life.

Wow, that's a big call to make off a forum post. When I see this kind of stuff Im glad for the rule of law rather than the rule of the mob.

Hope he gets well soon Artme and the perpetrators get dealt with swiftly.

[Bob38S]

Under no circumstances do I advocate mob rule - I do advocate truth in sentencing and full, realistic, speedy compensation for the victims. I don't care how bad a childhood the thug has had or how much he thinks society owes him a living - others have had hard times etc and have not resorted to criminal acts.

[SAISAY]

Not wanting to hijack this thread, I am surely appalled of the "treatment" these thugs get.
A slap on the wrist and a bag of lollies then "go home and try to be a good boy" :disgust1:

Hope your son recovers soon, alas, the mental scars take a very long time to heal :saddest:


We have a piece and good behaviour order against out next door neighbour.
The other day she tried to run Lee (my carer) over in her car, he was on the naturestrip.
When we reported it to the cops and told them we had CCTV records of the incident the answer was" Do you have sound on it?"
When the answer was negative he said "Well, without sound the evidence is no good and we can't do anything until someone gets injured!!!!!"
That's Queensland police for you :((

That's not good to hear, how is the recovering of your son?

[SAISAY]

Instead of the "Holiday Resort Jails" we need Hard Labour back!!
These thugs have nothing else to do than ruin decent people's lives.

Instead og the "Holiday Resort Jails" we need Hard Labour back!!

What we also need is the "castle" legistlation that several USA states have. In a nutshell it means you don't have to wait to see what an intruder's intent is before you can defend yourself with the same force, you can use lethal force as soon as he/she is deemed a threat. I make no apologies for believing in this, if some one is breaking into my home, they take the risk of lethal force. I shouldn't have to wait to see what his/her intentions are, by then its too late.

Son is recovering well but it will be 3 months before he will be able to do anything. He is luck that his ex has decided to give him space at her place as he has no wish to go back to the house.

Just a correction on his injuries - his jaw did not get broken, so that is a blessing of sorts. No injuries to teeth or nose either.

[Twisted Tenon]

Artme
I hope your son recovers fully. These sort of crimes will leave a great shadow over your son's life for some time, especially if he has to go to court as a witness.
It sounds like he has your love and support and the support of his family and friends, which will be a real help for him.

Good news of sorts Art, hope he recovers quickly, both mentally and physically.

I assume you haven't spent much time in criminal courts. I worked for the supreme court many decades ago and occasionally had reason to sit in on cases. It's an ugly, horrific, thing our criminal "justice" system. Many cases are in no way black or white, and I'm glad I'm not the one making the call, but the people who work in that system to my mind are numbed to the reality. It pretty much looks like they are acting out a show on stage. It's really really awful.

I don't know if you watch the show "Rake" on channel 2. I find some of it amusing but the courtroom games portrayed in that show look unfortunately accurate to my eye.

[artme]

My son is up and about! He's actually been doing some less strenuous work on his house and the cast is due to come of his arm next Tuesday.
He will have x-rays on the arm first as i t has pins and plates in it.

His head wounds have healed pretty well and the bruising has mostly disappeared but he will have a number of severe scars on his face as a result
of the attack.

One other of the perpetraters has been caught, and the police know who the other one is but haven't been able to nab him yet.
