LOL Ryan was executed for killing a guard while escaping prison....
So the life sentence doesn't really work, does it.....he escaped once (committing murder in the process) so why assume he wouldn't have done EXACTLY the same thing during a life sentence????

No, the dingo theory is valid.....unless you care to provide a dingo that can undo buttons, undress a baby and fold up a jumpsuit.....

you are how many decades out of date with the Chamberlain case??
Go and read the evidence, you clearly haven't. Duh, yes that's right, dingos don't fold up clothing do they. What happened to the dingos that were around that campsite on the night? Were they ever seen again?
Thinking, thinking....tick tock, tick tock.
Go and read the story mate rather than go off half cocked.

There aren't.

We averaged well over 300 homicides per year during the 1980s. For the past few years the figure has dropped down to below 300 (283 in 2007).

i am not touchy feeling squeamish, imp. I know that Australia was built on the lash that took every bit of skin off one's back right down to the bone. One only needs to know of the horrors of the Australian colonial prisons, which was the very reason the place was populated by Britain in the first place. The screaming madness of the prisoners chained on the treadmills on Norfolk Island every day of their lives. The maggot infested flogged backs that could only be relieved by the prisoners having to urinate on the floor of their black cells and lay their backs in the urine for some relief from the agony - and the death penalties that were handed out.

That sort of thing damaged Australia and the Australian psyche right down to the present day. The people finally prevailed and removed this barbarity from our beautiful country; and it will not be brought back. Not in this country, not ever.

Let me try and explain..

1) The 'dingoes' around the camp site are not, in fact pure-blood dingoes...they are dingo/domestic dog crosses...and domestic dogs that were 'dumped' by their owners (or had run off..i.e Ferals)
2) Pure-blood dingoes generally won't come within 200 metres of humans...as WE are the only threat to dingoes
3) While a dingo (or indeed a feral dog/x-cross breed) 'might' consume the dead body of a baby...if it was left in the scrub, it's very unlikely to enter a tent(surrounded by humans) and carry off a living child
4) Predators...like dogs/dingoes..do NOT carry small prey by the head....they grip small things like rabbits, hares and children....around the middle..at the point of balance
5) The Chamberlains were from the City..neither of them could have told the difference between a dingo, a cross-breed or a feral dog if it had bitten them on the arse
6) NO dog (whether dingo, cross-breed or feral) could have, or would have UNDRESSED Azaria, before consuming the body...

Possibly Azaria died of an accident.....but it was an accident caused by HUMAN action...

The last 'theory' I heard on the subject was that 'possiblly' one of her brothers was involved and the parents covered it up.......which, in truth, I wouldn't blame them for doing...

But one thing is certain.....while a feral/wild dog 'may' have eaten Azaria, it sure didn't kill her.....

and that presumes that psychopathy is genetic, which if it is not, then the "cure" is completely misguided.

Criminality is more likely attitudinal in a huge number of cases, possibly the vast majority. That is why custodial rehabilitation actually works. What is missing in this country is rehabilitative measures in the general community to catch the dysfunctional kids, teenagers, parents and families who have been victims of whatever deprivations in their lives that lead them to these attitudes and practices. There are many more of those in the pipeline than people in prison who might end up getting executed by the government.
It does not, and never has cured the cause among the general population, that is why you still have crime in countries that do have the death penalty.
You need to get out of your lower middle class lifestyle and get out onto some mean streets. (not that there are that many in this country.)

It's a myth that the jumpsuit was found folded.
