I got it the Essendon way
was on it for over a week, appendix burst giving me blood poisoning.
Surely he has to go to jail now. Anybody else would have.
Reading in the West this morning that Cousins was meant to front Court again today on another drug possession charge that hasn't been captured in the media.
Further to this, he was charged with drug possession after the crash.
He's going to jail, no doubt.
What a tragic story.

What a tragic story.
I could easily believe he was under the influence of whatever at the time of the crash, very likely in possession of something at said time.
Do you really think if the media had these details they wouldn't report them? Especially when they've taken great pleasure to report even the smallest details in this train wreck situation of an " ex -afl superstar "
You are correct jail is most likely outcome, if not death for this story, tragic or otherwise.
They did capture the details. It was on the Yahoo7 page a couple of days ago. I couldn't be bothered posting the link because I thought this thread would have been all over it.
I really hope he goes to jail. Not sure if one exists but possibly a jail where he can't get his hands on anything inside. Atleast 2-3 years, might be long enough to get him walking the straight and narrow in body and mind. That way when he does get out his mind is strong enough to not fall again.
Yeah that was my first thought, ugh, he was so cuteAgeing badly

The only reason was because:
Otherwise he'd be in the lock up for breach of bail conditions right now (and wouldnt have ben granted bail on the new charges).
Only in circumstances where they fail 3 drug tests (as a condition of bail), or are mentally ill and a psych recommends it. Something like that. If you're a junkie or a danger to yourself or others, you get 6 months of mandatory treatment.
Of course my personal view is we need two 'tiers' of jails. Ones like the ones we have now with all the raping and beatings and screws and so forth, and a seperate one where the 'good' prisoners go, with a focus on rehabilitation, where you get TAFE/ skills training, limited community release and so forth.
Just more teeth to the current revolving door system (which costs more money, and totally fails people like Ben).

Lucky to get bail this time around. Let's hope as part of his bail conditions he has to submit to regular drug testing.
Amazed he's not in jail.
I said it months back, maybe a year, but he needs to be put in some kind of custody for his own good.
Then put through treatment.
Not sure anything like that really exists though.

As I said in an earlier post..
Why does he deserve any special attention over any other addict?
I don't recall saying that he did. There should be something like this for all addicts.
The subject of the thread is Ben Cousins though...

It is diabolical that he has breached an AVO by his partner yet been allowed out on bail.
I don't give a shit what he does to himself but his actions are now involving members of the community, crashed with a truck probably off his dial and arrested for possession, breached an AVO.
The last incident involved grabbing a motor bike from it's rider as Cousins was standing on the freeway flagging traffic down. Why the hell is this behaviour going unpunished, If his name wasn't Ben Cousins he would be in jail by now.
Get him off the streets before he seriously hurts a member of the public who are just going about their business.

He would be better off in a mental health facility, but he will not self admit or stay for any meaningful term.
His behaviour is becoming more erratic involving motor vehicles, something has to give

With the recent Royal Commission into Family Violence you'd hope theres a recommendation against this sort of shit.
