" it has just resulted in over crowded jails. "

Not quite , reckon its saved many lives , and lots of misery to law abiding citizens. I can think of of a few names in the recent past that woudn't be on head stones if we had a justice system in Aus that was worthy of the term "Justice". Judges in the U.S. have to earn their position. That could be why things are different there, J

But there is a difference between justice and retribution. the death penalty is state sanctioned revenge and has little to do with justice.

Sorry to say but the vast majority of kids are growing up without respect for teachers, their parents and the law. This knocks on to generation after generation and now it's showing in the standard of kids coming through in our lifetime. Parents can't give a clip to their kids anymore, judges are more interested in keeping their jobs rather than doing their jobs and the justice system is a joke.

Low level crime countries are the ones with strict governments, harsh penalties and good values.

Look at Dubai.. Singapore for example. Step out of line there and you will know about it.

It would be funny to see some of these thugs who "king hit" people cop a public flogging. I bet most of them would cry like little girls.

Actually, if they want to fight, I'd like to see them put in the ring with a real fighter to see if they are really as tough as they think they are. Like that king hitting cage fighter wannabe.

Ha ha funny you should say that. A while ago I was out having a few drinks in Northbridge with a friend of mine from over east that does pro MMA. Lovely bloke but can fight like you wouldn't believe once he's in the ring.

This whole topic of coward hits ect came up and he said that in Sydney he has had a fair few young blokes try and have a go at him (from behind) cause he looks tough. He said that luckily each time he's been able to dodge it and get out of there. We'll loo and behold, a couple of hours passed and we were standing outside for a smoke (me, not him - he's too damn healthy for that lol) and a group of 3 half pissed/drugged 20 somethings walked up and demanded that I give them all a smoke.

I said nah mate I've only got a couple left and he said what about your boyfriend? My mate told him he didn't smoke and turned his back to them to continue talking to me. They milled about for a minute and then suddenly marched back up to us calling my mate a pussy. We just ignored them and I butted out my smoke to go back inside.

Suddenly the main drongo threw a hell of a punch at my friends head from kinda side on! Without a blink my mate stepped to one side missing his fist and used his forearms to push this guys arm away from him. This is where it got good. The guys fist flew straight past my mates head and straight into the face of the other drongo standing to the side of me! Right on the nose!

They both fell on the ground and drongo 1 had managed to hurt his ankle pretty bad in the fall too. So both of them there lying on top of each other hurt pretty bad and unable to get up.

The bouncer at a beer barn across the road came up and said he saw the whole thing and that the cops were on their way. Upon hearing this drongo 3 just walked off like he was never there. The other two tried to get up and leave but I reckon drongo 1 had a broken ankle cause he just couldn't walk.

Wasted an hour talking to the cops and they took them both, ankle one in an ambulance.

That's justice right there.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to call BS on this story, due to BS or not telling the full story of what actually happened.
