What about those clowns down in Rye? Some young bloke is dead and I bet it was all over nothing.
They've charged an 18 year old with manslaughter arising from the Rye incident.
It is a tradegy but I doubt he will get a long sentence let alone be in a violent prison.Such a tragic, stupid incident.
The guy charged - and I'm getting this from mates in the press - is a young bloke who thinks he hard. Might have been at high school, but not where he's going to spend the next 8 years.
Stupid ****
And the poor family who has lost a son. Just so tragic.
It is a tradegy but I doubt he will get a long sentence let alone be in a violent prison.
But having never been in prison or exposed to a prison environment I can't comment on how cozy/threating it can be. Can only go from what I've seen in the media and hear that prison are more boring than stressful or violent like the "old days".
Well, I think he can expect around 8 years in prison. Or at least a sentence of that length.
18 years old?
The courts will place a significant emphasis on making sure the boy doesn't become institutionalized.

Him and his "group" sound like a pack of real Moos. We're all sick of hearing of these attacks. If what's reported is true (i.e. attacked a group of people for their own satisfaction) then they should really make an example out of this dolt - he's ruined countless lifes.
It stops this galah from doing it again eh? How's the alleged comment "that's what we're here for".
Where did you hear the comment 'that's what we're here for'?
Do you honestly believe that this was premeditated murder?
I'd prefer the resources to go to stopping this from occurring again.
Do you honestly believe scum like this guy don't go out looking for someone to belt? It's what he was there for as he said. Whether he meant to kill him or not shouldn't matter. He repeatedly tried to start a fight and eventually killed the bloke. People (even stupid people) need to be forced to take responsibility for their actions.
Resources absolutely need to go to preventing these acts, but not instead of punishing those who've already committed the crime.
Cool wall of textI don't "honestly" know, but experience has taught me to avoid the tabloid media if I do want to "honestly" know all the relative facts.
I'm not claiming that he shouldn't be punished, I claimed that if faced with a choice in utilising resources, I would choose to invest in avoiding a repeat scenario. Our culture played a role in what that kid did, but somehow this never seems to get addressed.
I'd assume that he is a very impressionable young dick head who has been influenced by the distorted flippant attitude to violence (Hello, Underbelly!) displayed in the same media outlets that are now selling advertising off the back off sensationalising this tragedy. I have little doubt that he set out to chin someone on the basis of appearing as a hard man in front of his mates and is now shattered by the immense pain he has now brought in to the lives of others, including his own family, the harsh reality of spending the golden years of his youth in a 10 x 10 concrete cell, and the rest of his life with the haunting face of a dead man on his conscience.
