The so-called Justice system

[SocketRocket]

show me where anyone has said that.

The question was asked re what the provocation mentioned by the judge was. The provocation was a racial insult. Was that provocation for most on here... I guess not, but it was obviously provocation for the convicted.

Interestingly, the local MP has taken this up as this is the 4th one punch killing in Bournemouth in the last 13 years & this seems to be the longest sentence.

How does that fit with being lenient?? just asking !

Without a comparison of each case we cant say.

I was surprised at the length of each sentence, around 3-5 years for similar incidents. A disagreement, one punch & a fatality. Maybe this case highlights the issue, but it seems to be treated towards the lower end of the scale

...law breakers and they get more rights then us that obey the law

Prove that statement - or admit it's rubbish.

They may get more instances where their rights are tested or used, but that's not the same as 'more rights' per se!

How often have you used your 'right to remain silent' or 'right to a solicitor'? Doesn't mean you don't have them when appropriate!

I don't believe that statement either, but not being able to prove it, it's only my opinion.

And you ignored my 'Prove it' challenge! Why?

So that will be an admission that you can't prove it then!

The law is correct - the punishments handed out by single judges need looking into

Nothing unhealthy about it imo. And still 'on topic'. The title of the thread was 'the so-called Justice system', after all!

And while you may have started the thread, it ain't 'your topic' either!

But, back fully on topic...

... 'may need looking into'. Otherwise they all may as well be disqualified from setting punishments.

And the fact that there is a 'just' remedy simply proves the robustness of the system!

I find a lot of your posts argumentative in response to people open opinions and then when those people challenge your rudeness, its them that get in trouble. I have no time for people like you so, as I've said elsewhere, this is the easiest decision I've had to make for a long time, ta ta

 

[Hobbit]

So if someone insulted your best mate or your Mrs you wouldn't feel provoked to react on their behalf?

I might laugh at them or tell them to clear off; the opening gambit certainly wouldn't be to blindside them with all my might.

Is the right answer.

Well this ruling covers all sorts of issues!
