Sentencing after crimes.

[cee-dee]

Sometimes, I think those sentencing criminals have lost touch with reality and I was prompted to post this thread by two cases in the news today.

First, a bloke who was chasing a car in a road-rage incident and crashed in to an innocent persons car causing two young sisters to be paralysed from the waist down for the rest of their lives was jailed for four and a half years.

Second, a bloke who made a hoax 999 call saying that a fellow copper was going to be kidnapped by terrorists was jailed for seven years.

I'm not saying the 7 year sentence was excessive, I'm saying that in comparison the 4½ year sentence for the car crash was woefully inadequate.

Right, over the the RT jury for comment?

Also...Life imprisonment for drug dealers and smugglers. And no National Health treatment and drug substitutes for drug addicts. They know what they are getting into before they start taking drugs.
