So few characters and so many potential topic headings. So I opted for 'Murder's Not Bad' over 'The Law's An Arse', although 'Women Don't Matter' or 'Why Even Have Laws' would have been equally appropriate
Yep. I'm angry and things need to damn well change as I'm sure most of us here and nationwide, would agree
So what is it this time? How will the forum virtue signallers twist this in order to excuse the creeps?
In short, a pudding-faced nobody in West Australia killed his wife, his mother in law and his three kids in cold blood. He planned to kill his father too, from memory, although in order to minimise his crimes, the media and google seem to have lost many of the details. If someone remembers them or is up to finding them, great
Pudding-face wrote a 'manifesto'. Getting to be a familiar term, first popularised post 2000 in the NZ case
but basically, Pudding Face wrote a to-do list. And the link provides a partial of that
His wife was several years older than he. She'd been a nurse and it's my recollection she owned the house they lived in
in quick succession, they had three children, including twins
despite her heavy domestic work-load, she worked part time at Coles
Pudding Face worked also ... details in link
At 23, he was sick of it. Sick of his life. Wanted a new one. Details in link
He was burning his way through $300 a week, or maybe a day, on drugs. So she was running a household, raising three toddlers and also working at Coles to subsidise his drug habit
On the day appointed by Pudding Face for the murders, he thumped her in the head with an iron bar when she came home from work and stabbed her repeatedly
he went to his children's room and stabbed them repeatedly
he remained inside the home with the bodies until a day or so later and despatched his mother in law -- same method as that used on his wife
he remained in the home with the bodies of his wife, mother in law and three children for several days before setting off for his father's place
He'd managed prior to the murders to get his wife to go to the bank to sign a document authorising him to access her bank account containing $38,000, details in link
Now those in the legal industry are deciding whether or not he should be sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole. Atrocious murders in the recent past resulted in such a sentence being a possibility
Pudding Face's solicitor believes the murderer is 'young' to be sentenced to a whole life punishment. And as is becoming increasingly common, it's been hinted Pudding Face may have a touch of autism. And possibly narcissistic personality disorder. And no doubt the use of drugs stands a chance of being thrown in as mitigation also
In the linked article you will find reference to other sickening atrocities to have occurred in the past decade or two in Western Australia, with 98% of victims being, as expected, female. Females butchered and raped
One of those cases, graphically described in a documentary hosted by Steve Liebman, was so bad that the West Oz government held secret meetings at night in secret places. According to Liebman, the government was terrified that if the details emerged and the public got wind, it would result in the reintroduction of the death penalty. Many details have never been released
in brief, a young guy from Qld. travelled to West Oz to get to know his mother. She'd shot through and he'd been raised by his grandmother. In West Oz, his mother was raising two sisters he'd never known. They lived in a fairly isolated old farmhouse. One night, the entire family was slaughtered. The mother and two little girls had been raped and the teenage son visiting from Qld had been shot in the driveway. Full details have never been released
The police finally nabbed the killer. He was a young guy who worked for a local farmer. The killer was so trusted by his employers that they'd treated him as a son and he'd spent lots of unsupervised time with the family which included young kids. They'd had no idea what he was capable of
originally, that killer was sentenced to full life term, but as we're coming to expect more and more of late, there's been argy bargy ever since, apparently, as to possibly releasing him
I mean, he and Pudding Face are so young, right? Are we a compassionate society if we choose to keep killers behind bars when they could be out there windsurfing and having a family and saving for trips to Disneyland?
Always winding it backwards when it comes to sentencing and incerceration
the victims are dead and they suffered a nightmare before they breathed their last. But they're dead, ok? And most of them were female. Are we a progressive society or are we still bound by old-fashioned notions of punishment?
So what if you kill a few? Why harp on about it? Aren't we entitled to a fresh start? What's the point of keeping killers locked up? How's that going to help? Doesn't it mean we're wasting even more lives -- those of the killed followed by those of the killers?
Why waste so much public money on police and investigators? Why spend millions on drawn out trials when it's all just theatre and we all know the legal industry is going to release them as soon as public memory fades and/or equally sickening killings grab the headlines?
just let them go, eh?
They made a few mistakes, but does that mean they're bad?
Close the prisons and let's all go outside and smell the roses
