Post by Blue PeelerPost by MaxPost by NoddyCulpable driving seldom, if ever, attracts a stiff sentence even in
circumstances where it is clearly warranted like this one. Given his
priors, his behaviour while on bail, his lack of anything like any
remorse and the fact that he fled the scene in an act of cowardly
self-preservation he should have received the maximum sentence of 20
years in my opinion.
He was probably under the influence of ice at the time, which in my
view means he is not responsible for his actions.
Actually the correct interpretation for people who (other than those
who (for example) are "mickey-finned"
Say it like this, Blue: "people who self-impair".
Post by Blue Peeleris that they are/should be, denied the defence of accident and face
strict liability for the consequences of their actions.
Yep. Self-impairment should be treated as an aggravating factor,
not a mitigating one.
Post by Blue PeelerIn the case of driving a car whilst full of ice or similar, the cops
should apply a bullet to the back of the head with the bill for the
bullet and the cop's laundry sent to the family of the druggie.
Remove them from the gene pool at no cost to the taxpayer. Love it.
Preacher, follow thy own sermon.
You think Blue Peeler's a preacher? You're mad.
Par for the course, I supopose. It's bit like
you ever read for comprehension, is it.
As to the "sermon", he doesn't strike me as the
type who would take the law into his own hands.
Rather unlike you, ay.
I guess it's time to bring back your theme song:
There's a stinking great turd named the Pelican,
Who lives at the tip with his Smelly-Cam.
He thinks he has smarts,
Coz he photographs farts,
But think a real thought? Huh! like hell 'e can.
