Yeah there was a case near me a few years back - a guy hit someone on the rugby pitch and he died - he got sent down for 3 years but freed on appeal. In fairness i do take the point about the aspergers syndrome and yeah that's obviously what's being taken into account now. I just think if you hit soemone you're not intending to kill them - though obviously you coudl argue if you didn't hit them they defintiely wouldn't have died.
Four years sounds like a fair sentence . I'm sure the guy didn't mean to kill . Yes he's a ****ing ratbag but if you're gonne hang all the ratbags then you better get plenty of rope . And lets face it , if it was ER the guy banjoed he would be getting an OBE or sommit .
What you need to realise is that the sub-Saharan Africans are thousands-of-years behind the rest of the world. From an evolutionary perspective, they have been flatlining since the Stone Age. Comprehending even basic information can be a major obstacle to the black man; even more so if that information involves telling him it is wrong to rape and murder. I just Googled 'great African civilisations' and found a Wiki page on 'African Empires'. I selected one at random - the Buganda Kingdom of Uganda, which still exists today. Curious, I did a Google image search and found this picture of a grand Bugandan Palace in the capital city: [NSFW] please log in to view this image [/NSFW] As you can see, it is of a similar standard to what the rest of the world was living in in 3,000 BC.
You should Google the British empire . It says "no longer exists cos the darkies kicked them out . And now they are subservient to the yanks . Boo hiss .
Let's try a thought experiment here; would the death penalty and hanging be appropriate if the victim had of fell to the ground at a slightly different angle, got only slightly bruised and did not die? I think everyone would agree that if the victim did not die from a single punch then we would not be calling for the death penalty, as we would be sentencing the perpetrator to death for the random bad luck of his actions (killing someone with a single punch is unlikely). Therefore how much must we build the random luck of the consequences of a crime into a judicial system, rather than just judging the actions of the crime by itself? Surely we must punish everyone else who punches someone in the face for no reason the same way as we punish this guy - since there is a similar statistical chance that every other punch could have killed someone like this guy did?
Might be prudent to remember we don't actually have the death penalty any more. Was a cowardly act, he'll get a couple of years, and I hope he gets bum-raped thrice daily so the following couple of years will also be uncomfortable.
Get tae feck ya sardonic tool! What the funk do you profess to know of moral righteousness? Honestly, you couldn't make this **** up!
Last night I read a Wikipedia page about the first not guilty verdict in Scottish law...forgot what it was called but seems relevant Essentially Intent was the deciding factor
