Nothing unusual about that. Thats in par. Seriously? After terrorising Aboriginal people all night: "Kloeden immediately executed a sudden u-turn. He stopped so close to Ryder that Ryder could grab the bullbar. All four passengers raced out of the car, with Hird the first one out. Without checking the damage to the car, they chased Ryder, who tripped and fell. Confronted with a man ‘lying defenceless and incapable of posing any threat to any of the offenders’, they repeatedly kicked him in the head, and Spears struck his head with a bottle. They told him ‘Don’t bugger with us’. Swain, who had kicked Ryder in the head twice, noticed he was lying motionless, and that something was plainly wrong. He called out ‘Let’s go’, considering that the most appropriate reaction. They got into the car. Kloeden hadn’t gotten out of the car because he was executing a three-point-turn. Apparently untroubled by what he saw, Kloeden was ‘seen to drive away at a leisurely, normal pace’." Should be murder. The fact that you dont know the difference between manslaughter and murder doesnt make this any different to other manslaughter cases. In this case, the fact the victims were aboriginal is irrelevant, just as it would be if the perpetrators were aboriginal themselves. The sentences appear in line with precedent and the perpetrators were all youths. After terrorising Aboriginals all night (for which they were not punished), they, quite deliberately, kicked a man to death. Nice of you to make excuses or them. Clearly it was proven in a court of law the intention was not to murder. What do you want , a lynch mob? Did you read the court transcripts? The judge was a raving racist. He described the foul creatures as "good blokes". What, pray tell, do you think happens to a person who is already immobolised when you kick the repeatedly about the head?
