You be the judge - you couldn't do a worse job!

We seriously need to start pushing for Judgment by Jury - since the our current system is absolutely full of holes

First things first - a good - a perfect example in fact - of how our judges are disgusting out of touch and should be sacked.

Daughter Sentenced to Five Years after Mother Dies

AN OVERWHELMED woman allowed her sick mother to wallow in filth until there were maggots in her bedsores and she died. The woman had been suffering from chronic depression and had become overwhelmed at the difficulties involved in caring for her mother, who was described as "difficult and domineering".

It is not as simple as saying she should have brought in a doctor. Older people can be horribly manipulative and controlling and this poor woman was obviously trying to do the best for her mother against terrible odds. Those who have not had the experience of such a relationship (such as inJustice Lyons) have no idea of how difficult it can be to do the 'right' thing. Likewise, anyone who thinks that a 76 year old woman cannot drive you to depression and isolation obviously hasn't had that experience.

This decision is digusting and must be overturned. This poor woman has suffered enough and is suffering enough now - she deserves sympathy not criticism. Clearly she acted against her own wishes but in accordance with her mother's wishes.

She should be freed. End of Story. SIGN THE PETITION NOW


Of course, if you think that this case is an isolated incident, well in addition to previous catalogs of decisions that never cease to astound me, here are some new ones. In my opinion, we'll only ever get a decent legal system when people start having the guts to stand up and demand one.

• Belonging to a Church allows you to get off of attempted murder charges!
  
• Trial for rape but his only 'punishable crime' was to hug his lawyer!
  
• Don't pick on Judges - they are above scrutiny
  

Come on world, when will you wisen up? If these decisions are reasonable then it is high time the justifications are made public. The fact that they are not may be down to a legal requirement - which just goes to show that the law must be changed.

And just as a parting gesture, people in Australia have probably forgotten that it is actually illegal for the press to photograph MPs asleep in parliament!!!!!! Well, for those who remember that amazingly stupid law, what about this one:

Government Department blocks access to site that keeps track of what MPs say

The world, in the humble opinion of Wonko the Sane, has gone quite, quite mad!

What is the limit to our own stupidity?

Wonko warns you - the whole world could be at risk of insanity.

Paedophile Derek Percy hits grieving mum with $30,000 bill

If the courts permit this atrocity, then the legal system will have descended to a point well below that of the paedophiles that it purports to protect us from.

A mother whose child is gone and under the worst possible circumstances could be faced with paying out her money on behalf of a monster who may (or may not) have killed the child - and worse.

Somewhere, some time, the courts have got to become accountable.

This is the opinion of Wonko the Sane.

At last a treatment for violent criminals - if only we had the guts

PROOF!

Brain injury turns binge drinking lout into perfect man

Of course, years ago serial violent offenders were given a touch of the pre-frontal labotomy which calmed them down no end. It also took away most of their life-force. It was a treatment much frowned on and later abandoned. I assume.

But with the right understanding of the brain, could we not perform humane treatment on violent offenders brains to effect the same result as this news item reports? The transference of a socially unacceptable bully into a model human being? He gets a better life - we get a better life. He is freed from the effects of his violence - we are freed from the effects of his violence. We can create human beings who may then go on to become some of the best people we could know.

Not by becoming vegetables as was the case of the PFL.

But by reconfiguring the violence.

Witness the birth of new artists, scientists, teachers and doctors.
Witness the end of rape, murder, assault, gang wars and drug dealing.

If only we had the courage to try to HELP people rather than simply punish them.

The Olympricks

How's this for a thought.

Let's have the Olympic Games but NOT fly the Australian flag. Just in case.

Dumb?

Well, take it up with the government because that's what they want.

In case is the basic argument.

In case the terrorists make people targets.

Now that certainly isn't bowing down to terrorists is it! Is it?

In Australia we have the RIGHT TO KILL but not TO DIE...

There are many cases in Australia where human beings can be legally killed. Under the right circumstances, given the appropriate authorities, a human life can be taken. The law has allowed such things to occur without adverse consequence or at least with minimal backlash.

The conditions and requirements of enabling a killing are irrelevant to this post. It is sufficient to know and understand that in Australia - as it is in virtually every other country - one person can willfully take the life of another with the protection of the law.

As long as the person who is to die does not want to die.

For you see, in Australia it is not possible to commit Euthanasia. Even putting an advertisement highlighting the fact that the Australian Government will not discuss euthanasia is not allowed.

You see, we can have laws to govern homicide and lawful killing - so long as the victim stays the victim.

When the victim is someone with a terminal illness and in a state of permanent suffering, that is too hard for the government to deal with. The subject, it says, is closed.

Whether or not Australian's are allowed to terminate their own lives under set and specific circumstances with appropriate controls is something that needs to be determined. But it cannot be determined until our namby-pamby government grows up and faces the issues.

The greens are fighting for territory rights to legalize euthanasia but it's time ALL Australian's were given a say in the matter.

We can legally kill those people who do not want to die.
We can legally euthanize sick pets.
But we turn away and forget those amongst us who suffer ongoing and terminal pain because it is too difficult for us.

Wonko has spoken.

SACK THE JUDGES

Here we go again. It's never ending.

Now, a victim impact statement can be doctored by a judge.

The victim impact statement is a STATEMENT OF IMPACT BY A VICTIM. It's quite simple. It is not a JUDGES IMPACT STATEMENT. It is a VICTIMS impact statement.

Why are the judges in this God Forsaken country allowed to screw the lives of victims as much or MORE than the criminals??????

READ ABOUT IT HERE

This is absolutely disgusting. Australian judges should hang their heads in shame.

This is the opinion of Wonko.

I only hope that they reap the injustices that they are sowing - e.g. Judge lets off drink driver, gets hit by him 11 years later

It's Time To SACK Australian Judges

The time has come for all Australian judges to be removed from their jobs. That is the opinion of Wonko the Sane. Sack the lot of them.

Why?

Read this shopping list of absurdity and sickening contempt for the victims of crime:

1. Convicted Sexual Predator (Rapist and attempted child-molester) NOT deported because he likes AFL football - what about the partner he raped and the daughter he tried to rape?
   
2. Sentence slashed for Christmas Day rapist - What about the 16yo girl he raped on Christmas Day while he was on parole?
   
3. Teen walks free after downloading 200 hardcore child pornography images
   
4. Police hand out panic buttons while judge frees dangerous rapist - how would the judge like to live next door to that one?
   
5. Jail spared in case crimnal gets bullied - what about his dead girlfriend? What about her parents?
   
6. Judge decides juries decision!
   
7. Throat Slasher freed with no record and changed identify - but the judge probably knows and looks after their family.
   
8. Youths are allowed to blind people - apparently being blinded isn't all that bad according to our judges. They should know - they are obviously blind themselves.
   
9. OK to BASH 75yo because too skinny for jail - it's obviously fine to bash old people who are too frail to look after themselves but not to lock up skinny people.
   

Oh, there are more - lots more. It's time we put a stop to this stupidity. Time that we sacked our judges and restored some kind of law and order in Australia. What, we might wonder, will be the fate of the bastard who sexually attacked this old woman? A kiss on the head and a box of chocolates? And what of the man bashed for glaring at smoking teens? What sort of punishment can he look forward to them getting? A packet of free cigarettes probably. Australian Judges do not deserve to stay in the job when they make decisions such as the list presented here.

Ordinary Australians, the aged, the children - they don't deserve it.

It's time our legal system did what it was supposed to do. Past time.
