Description I cannot think of how many times I see on the news or read online on how many criminals are either getting slaps on the wrists or are getting minimal sentences. What has happened to the world?

Examples:
Two teenage girls, one fifteen, the other sixteen, robbed a KFC in my hometown. Because they were threatening self-harm they were released and charged with practically nothing.

A rapist who posed as a policeman kidnapped and hold a teenage girl for was charged with 20 years prison for his crime which was later reduced to 12. He was released in early August now lives on a road that's near an all-girls high school.

A drug-cazed man carjacked a car with a couple in it and demanded they drive him to the police shop. He attempted to stab the girlfriend and broke the boyfriends arm. After escaping, members of the council nearby held him down until police arrived. He was charged and given community service. He has a criminal history of violence and drug abuse,

An ex-army man has been bashing women for the last twenty years and was given a three year sentence. Three years. Intrestingly enough, he was charged with the same charges two years before he joined the army and they still let him in, despite the fact they had knowledge of this horrible crime.

I've heard, that Australia has banned more games than the rest of the behaviour-concerning countries.

I am a US citizen, but I'm going to put this on my page because I have an Aussie friend who rp's with me sometimes, and he has told me how much your justice system sucks.

It really does. Recently, a man who tortured his fiancee got eight years in jail, minimum of six without parole.

Here in spoiled ol' America, people will sue over the stupidest things. One old woman sued McDonalds because she spilled her coffee, one disgruntled atheist sued her high school not far from where I live because of a historic banner that had a Christian prayer on it, and another woman sued Walmart (a chain grocery store) because she tripped and fell over her own bratty kid. I was actually fantasizing about moving over there to Australia or New Zealand, because my country is going downhill.

Hmm...I like it.  It will be like the American Wild West...a sheriff gathering a posse to go O.K. Corral on rapists and robbers.

I read about that old woman a while back. Just...ridiculous. I saw one woman threaten to sue some dude because he walked into her in a grocery store and accidently knocked her expensive, brand new purse out of her hands. I was considering moving to Canada :U

You should look at the African justice system ... what you mentioned is classed as pretty severe in SA

Rob a KFC? Pfft, give the cops a bucket of chicken and they don't book you
Rape someone? No problem, 3 years if you get a heavy sentence
Hijack someone and cause harm to the people in the car? Pfft ... what now? Stop wasting the police nap time! Suck it up man!
Domestic violence? Hmm, sure ... what would you want the police to do about that again?

Mister--Jake [2013-08-22 05:30:03 +0000 UTC]

Nearly all legal systems are tailored to the criminals. What they should be doing is gathering citizens randomly to create new laws. (do they already do that?)
