http://www.smh.com.au/national/hammer-attack-child-killer-freed-20091228-lgs8.html
Notorious child killer Austin Allan Hughes has walked free from jail
after 16 years behind bars.
Hughes was sentenced to a minimum of 14 years in jail in 1994, after
being convicted of bashing his girlfriend's six-year-old son to death
on the NSW south coast the previous year.
In two years he'd be released anyway.

What is your preference?

He served 16 years in jail, 2 years more than the minimum period. The
reasion for that is not explained.
** More details of the case are here:
The mother of the victim ( now calling herself "Anjelic Karstrom" ) was the
instigator of the assault that led to murder.
Is she out ?

Missed this bit of the SMH report, toaster-boi? "He was released this

I am suggesting we need longer non-parole sentences for murder and
rape, and for repeat violent offenders in general.
I am talking post-conviction ... I have said nothing about doing
something to people not charged, as you seem to be implying.

LOL ...yes can't argue with that ... we would if we could, BUT WE
CAN'T.
Or perhaps you can amuse us ... how do you propose we deal with the
"causes"? As a society, we will not condone removing children from
neglectful parents unless they are shown to be physically in danger.
And even if we did remove them, we couldn't find enough stable foster
homes to replace the bad parents anyway.
By time they are adults, these people have had years of neglect and
already turned to violence ... the battle is lost and all the overpaid
ineffectual psychologists and social workers in the world can't fix
these types, no matter how much you wish it were otherwise.
Yet the legal industry and softcocks continue to push this nonsense
idea of "rehabilitation" - when it's clear that no such thing is
possible for some people. They are hard-wired to re-offend. And when
they do, we repeat the charade of another token sentence then back on
the streets for us, the next victims-in-waiting.
Good for the incomes of solicitors, social workers, parole officers
and the like ... bad for the rest of society, in particular the next
random innocent victim.

Potential? We are talking convicted criminals. Nothing "potential"
about it.
It's absurd that a 26 year-old man managed to collect a lengthy
criminal record yet still remained on the streets to commit another
armed robbery and then flee police, but because softcocks like
yourself defend this status quo, a 2 year old girl was tragically
killed in Sydney the other day.

It's prison, not a death sentence ... it keeps criminals off the
streets, because for all your talk, you haven't actually got any other
way of EFFECTIVELY dealing with the causes of violence have you?
You drivel your own softcock psycho-babble about (non-existent)
methods of dealing with the causes of violence ... sounding like any
other defender of our revolving door legal industry that props up
violent crime rates in order to protect the incomes of those in the
industry, victims be damned.

Yes ... I am simply using the fact that a young child was apparently
hammered to death by the couple.
Was he somehow forced to participate by the woman? Was he physically
prevented by her from seeking help while the crime was taking place?
I have assumed not, but feel free to elaborate on any extenuating
circumstances that you feel morally justifies the courts imposing such
a sentence.
I am telling you that the implications of your proposal have been closely
examined by many in different countries over many years, and those
implications have usually been rejected. Youm on the other hand, are
blissfully ignorant of what your proposals imply.

Implying that you are prepared to throw those people on the scrapheap,
permanently. That's the death penalty.

Cite one, just one, in "the legal industry and softcocks " who says anything
about rehabilitation? You won't, because you can't. You are just spouting
gibberish, and demonstrating the poverty of your understanding of what might
be useful socvial policy. For you, it's simply a matter of ever-harsher
criminal penalties, when you concede that deterence doesn't work. The
typical solution of the mindless dribbler.

You have already conceded that these people are a dead-weight on society.
They can't be rehabilitated, reformed or redeeemed. Your solution is to
locke 'em up for a very long time.
So, one clear implication of your proposal - why should society have to wait
until one of those you dribble about commits a crime? Society has always
been prepared to take pre-emptive action. You were aware of that
implication, weren't you? Of course you were!

There you go! That's your fundamental justification for locking someone up
for a very long time. They don't need to commit another crime.

The implcation of locking people up for a very long time is that the costs
to society are very great. Those resources could be far better used
elsewhere, and the resources are simply wasted on locking up these people.
It is clearly to legally execute them. Saves society a lot of unnecessary
trouble.
Go on, admit it! You really want the death penalty for everyone who looks
sideways at you!

Says the populist mundless dribbler who is basically advocating the death
penalty for the socially underprivileged in the community. But is soo thick
that the implications of its dribbling are far beyond it's feeble
comprehension.
In fact, longer prison sentences have led to drops in crime rates in
the US.

And yet still you won't even offer an alternative.
Perhaps you'd like to expand on how we can deal with causes of crime -
let's see if it's not "rehabilitation" shall we?
Or refuse to back up your own words and just admit you are another

Problem solved.
Instead, we have gutless softcocks who can't answer a straightforward
question - how do YOU propose society can address the causes of
violence as you suggest is possible?
Of course you don't answer because you can't.

Your brain hurts, eh? Well, it's just the one cell having a whinge.
Sure is. Releasing a prisoner on parole after the non-parole period
has expired is the mark of a just and compassionate society. We set
non-parole periods for a reason. The prospect of parole makes
prisoners more compliant with the requests society make of them. In
return for the prospect of parole we expect good behaviour in prison
and participation in rehabilitation programs. The alternative is
prisoners who emerge at the end of their sentence hardened, unprepared
for life outside prison and more likely to re-offend.

Why would that matter to anyone as long as crime rates are reduced?
Oh that's right ... it matters to softcocks like "Epsilon" who bleat
that prison is the same as the "death penalty" and support the right
of violent criminals to "pay their debt" with a few years at most,
only to be let out to rape/murder/maim their next victims.
Evasion noted ... as I said, curing the causes of violence was just
your mindless wanking.

Well you're a softcock and you bleat about rehabilitation (or at least
putting violent crims back on the streets as fast as possible). So
how many cites do you want?
But if it helps ... what part of the phrase
"correctional/rehabilitative opportunities don't you understand
softcock?...
http://www.dcs.nsw.gov.au/careers/recruitment/Probation_and_Parole_Docs/Position_Description.pdf
Primary Objective
Provide professional supervision of offenders serving a non custodial
sentence through developing and maintaining case plans, allocation of
programs, crisis intervention, counselling and enforcing release
conditions and prepare and present offender assessments and recommend
appropriate sentencing options to the Courts and other judicial bodies
to maximise correctional/rehabilitative opportunities during a term of
sentence so that the impacts of crime on the community are reduced.

That's right softcock ... I suppose the infant committed suicide when

That's it? The final impotent anti-climax of a wanking softcock.
So much for curing the causes of violence eh? Thanks for demonstrating
you're really just another softcock who feebly defends the right of
violent criminals to murder children with impunity.
It's right up there with lowlife scum who rail against having to pay
child support to their own kids.
What say you, Ralph?

Actually over 60% of non-indigenous prisoners end up being released on
parole. The figure for indigenous prisoners is 50%. So your claim the
majority of prisoners emerge unprepared for life outside prison is
incorrect.
Coincidentally there is a 10% greater likelihood that an indigenous
prisoner will re-offend within 12 months than a non-indigenous
prisoner. The same difference as the likelihood the prisoner will be
released on parole. Interesting, don't you think?

Those numbers are totally IRRELEVANT to the topic.

How about the lowlife scum such as yourself who send their children whoring?
What say you, SerGay, you filthy pedophile?
If early release really did make them less likely to re-offend (and
I'd love to see any evidence of that), why not even shorter sentences?
In fact, the reality today is we see crims building up lengthy
criminal records (as was the case on the guy just charged in the
pursuit that killed the little girl), making it rather specious to
suggest parole and shorter sentencing does anything but give some
crims faster opportunities to reoffend more often.
IMO, for repeat violent offenders, we should forget the fiction about
rehabilitation back into society altogether and concentrate on
protecting innocent members of our "just and compassionate" society by
imposing longer prison terms. We could actually save money locking up
violent crims for life in that we'd need less police, solicitors, and
judges to investigate and prosecute violent thugs, and less on money
spent on counsellors to deal with the long-term psychological effects
of violent crimes on completely innocent victims and their families.
I say you're still a liar who fabricates quotes, and a racist.
Just go back to wanking off over Tex will you Adolf.
