Thread: Wtf

As a high media case, look at the teenager who attacked the lady at the ATM machine. The woman who came to her rescue is in hospital with serious head injuries. As an aside she has been gifted a large some of money by some very caring people either through generosity or feeling of guilt. This should not be seen by the judicial systems as compensation for what she is going through.

Now to the scumbag offender (and his mate the getaway driver)
Is this his strike one?
Will he be given a group hug and placed back in society?
Will he do a short stint with a warm bed and 3 meals a day?
Who deems him fit to go back into society if he has not reformed during his short stint?
What is there to prevent him from getting more aggressive in future attacks?

I believe that he should be detained until such a time his victim is fully recovered, and living their normal life, then carry out the sentence from that date.
If the victim never fully recovers then he/she is never released. If the prisons are overloaded, stop wasting money on 1080 etc and build more prisons.

As kotuku says, if they are bad, they are bad. There is no deterrent. If the risk of a death penalty does not stop murders or drugs dealing in other countries then nothing will
