Oscar's Sentence

[Churchill]

Doesn't matter what we think, it's what can be proven.

People can have opinions.

The question wasn't "is Oscar guilty?".

Thanks though.

Gaol? How old are you??

Old enough to read Oscar Wilde?

Domestic violence isn't taken seriously in South Africa whether the perpetrator is Black or White.

I am sorry, but I disagree with this type of wholesale judgement. I have spent 38 years living there, full time and I still spend at least a month there, per year. I have never come across an incident of domestic violence which has been tolerated, by the authorities, or by society.

The fact that there are higher numbers of violent cases of abuse, is more of a social issue and a reflection of the break down of the mores of society.

Don't start trying to ruin the CUK opinion based 'facts'.

OK - I agree with Sue-Ellen, then. See what an agreeable bloke I am, now?

Gaol or community service?

Personally I find the way he is being portrayed as the victim, offensive.

Hang the murdering bastard!

DOH! I thought we'd be discussing Oscar Wilde's sentence.

Two years in Reading Jail seemed a bit harsh, but it's a bit late to complain about it now.

You wake in the middle of the night and hear someone in the bathroom. Your wife/gf who you went to bed with is not there. Must be an intruder in the bathroom, best shoot some bullets throught the door.

With all the other inconsistencies in the story it was obvioulsy a pack of lies and 5 years/possibly 10 months is an utter joke. Nothing to do with justice and everything to do with having an expensive legal team. Let's face it a poor man would be going down for 20 yrs.

He took the life of someone in their prime. if he had held up a bank he would get a longer sentence.

..expecting DA to pipe up with his "you're a sanctimonious leftly" claims now.
