Guess what colour the Commodore in the police pursuit was?

Perhaps something similar to NSWs’ ‘Skye Law’ ought to be introduced here in the ACT…..or do we need a tragedy to occur first, as it did in NSW?

You didn’t check very well. It’s called drive manner dangerous/reckless. Max 1yr imprisonment and/or $11k fine.

Driving a car around suburban roads at 160km/h is attempted murder.

What about driving a car around suburban roads blind drunk Henry, should that driver be shot too?

Can you find Bill & Ted, jump into their time machine & go back to the century you came from?

Why do you need a time machine to get proper justice?

Why am I not surprised you piped up?

So, you think that someone who has comitted a minor crime needs to be shot?

Skewed sense of punishment much?

It’s not a minor crime.

Driving a car around suburban roads at 160km/h is attempted murder.

I fully agree that he should be shot. End of problem.

Are you Mr Gillespie’s other personality?

KB1971 people like you are the reason we have people who commit crimes like this. This individual was already a disqualified driver, therefore had previously commited a crime. The fact that he tried to evade the police is evidence of his blatant disregard for the law.

I wonder how you would feel if, during his 160km/h jaunt, he’d rounded a corner and hit and killed one of your relatives. Would you feel so lenient then? I really despise do-gooders like you who think we should give scum like this playstations and soothing counselling sessions, etc.

But he DIDN’T round the corner and hit or kill anyone. You can’t go around punishing people for actions/crimes they didn’t commit. Sue the guy was breaking the law by speeding, evading the police, driving while disqualified and numerous other offences but he didn’t injure or kill anyone. The potential was there of course but he didn’t do it. It’s like charging someone for armed robbery just because they own a gun.

Or being a prostitute because they have a fanny…

Ummm no.

It is like firing a gun in the suburbs. Which is against the law.

Your argument that no-one was hurt would be like a shooter who had lost his licence going into his backyard and shooting. If he doesn’t hurt anyone there apparently wouldn’t be a real crime and he shouldn’t be punished for what might happen.

KB1971 your redneck comment was weak as piss but your latest post is legitimate. Ok I might have been a bit over the top with wanting this individual shot, HOWEVER, you must agree that we are sick, sick, sick of hearing about scum, who think the law doesn’t apply to them commit crime, go to court, do a crocodile tear job about how bad their lives have been and get off with a suspended sentence from a weaker than piss judiciary and then go and commit more crime.

I’ll bet this individual won’t give a flying f*ck about the pathetic punishment he’ll receive. I’ll bet he’ll laugh about it over a case of Tooheys with his mates.

How about the Singaporean punishment of caning? Not lethal but certainly hurts like f*ck! My real point is that if the punishment is severe enough, a person may think twice before commiting a crime.

Your comment got the contempt it deserved.

You made a massive & incorrect assumption that I was a civil libitarian who thinking no one should be punished.

Realistically, we dont live in a society that deals in harsh punishments, that is in the past unless you live in Afganistan where a wife can be shot for suspected adultery. She was judged and executed not by a jury of her peers but her supressors. What happened to the bloke that was involved? Nothing.

That is a massive injustice that makes me cranky rather than some excuse for birth control being a dick in front of the coppers.

The reality is, we dont know this blokes background. He might not be a s*** stain on soiciety, just a bloke going through a rough patch. Then again he may be.

Yep, petty crime is a PITA but that is all it is, petty crime.

You’ve got quite a fanclub going, KB. +1 … mostly because there was no mention of cyclists.

Someone has to take the idiots on when they make idiodic comments …….

KB1971 said :

The article says that the car was suspected to be stolen, when the located him he had the keys on him so unless he car jacked it or robbed a house releiving the owner of the car of his keys I would say it wasnt.

The article said that speeds of 160 were reached. By who? The Dunlop man or the Police? It didnt say that he was doing 160. The police might have done 160 to catch him but he may have only been doing 100. I would like some more clarification on these details before coming to an absolute conclusion.

So we are back to some on the spot speeding fines & a fail to obey a police direction. Certainly not punishable by death.

& about the crap about this guy killing one of my family memebers? Yep, I would have the shits over that for sure but then one of my family members can be killed at any time on the road by anyone.

So a guy who has a licence, is insured, has a good job & a clean criminal record runs a red light & kills my wife should not be punished by death but this guy should bacause he drove unlicenced & sped a bit?

Yep the guy is an asshat but in the big scheme of things his crimes are minor. Maybe the punishment should be harcher but definately not death, after all, he is someones son/family member, someone will love him 😉

I agree. The motor car is the second most expensive thing most of us ever buy.
Car theft is a crime there really cannot be an excuse for.
The court will probably hear that this individual was butt fcuked by Father such and such at Sunday school and off he gets.
They used to hang horse thieves and now the car has replaced the horse but the punishment hasn’t followed suit..

The horse is now a car.
The law is now an ass.

But then it woulf be the fault of the police because if they hadn’t been trying to catch him he wouldn’t have sped off and killed someone. Can’t the stupid police understand that criminal scumbags just want to be allowed to commit their crimes in peace! Surely that is their human right.

It almost seems as if being criminal is a culture, so trying to prvent them is surely an attack on a cultural group!
