Today, Adelaide lawyer Eugene Mcgee walks free after a hit-and-run incident, killing a cyclist. Not only did he lie about it to police, he dragged this case on for 6 years, constantly finding ways to delay proceedings, long enough for him to claim being unable to remember the event.
Thats bad enough... This happens on a regular basis here.
Im being dead serious when I say death by dangerous driving in the state of South Australia has been legalised. The precedents have been set and multiple results have suited this new change. Countless times over the last few years, people have been killed, sometimes even outright murdered in car accidents and walk away completely free. I dont feel compelled to provide link or proof coz I see this **** on the news so often and this isnt a blog aimed to convince anyone... I just feel compelled to vent somewhere. I was under the impression an illegal act must have a consequence. If it has no punishment, then how can it be illegal? You might as well make owning a kitchen knife illegal. :/ At any rate, I've heard of multiple blatant murders, death by dangerous driving and manslaughter incidents, all downgraded to driving without due care here, all only coming with minimal fines and rarely a licence banning.
Its ****ING BULL**** how incompetent the legal system here is currently. Its no secret that the Australian legal system always favours the culprit over the victim, but the bias has become absolute with culprits often receiving minimal or no punishment at all. I am physically sick and have an urge to grind my teeth so hard right now... Its just hopeless here. Judges are completely and utterly incompetent, have no sense of morals and for lack of a better word, are all completely ****ing insane. Thats not an exaggeration, since they are not sane at all. For a supposedly educated lot they represent the stupidest, pure evil group of people in the state. Immigrants who come here and start nothing but trouble are better human beings, at least they dont get paid to destroy lives.
I consider myself to have a lot of national and state pride... but the legal system here is enough to make me cry, god knows how the actual victims feel. There is no hope for current victims, and no end in sight to this world-class joke of a system, every year it gets worse and worse and I honestly feel ashamed to live here... Theres many things im glad about Australias way of doing things over the American (such as our gun laws and banning fundamentalist hate groups doing public demonstrations lol) but the contrast between our legal systems is so strong, its beyond words how stupid and backwards this country can be when we know of a system that works, but dont use it.
If anyone wants to kill someone, come to the land of the free and I can guarantee you will not be punished if you follow these simple steps, as endorsed by SA judges.
1) Take victim to South Australia, Australia
2) Run them down
3) Flee for 8 hours, then turn yourself in. Claim you dont know what happened
4) Plead not guilty on a psychological basis, past trauma or high stress due to an incident you cant remember are guaranteed 100% success rate excuses, or your money back. Given the size of fines here, thats a really god deal!
5) Walk away free
This isnt sarcastic... that exact sequence of events has played out multiple times here, all with the same gross injustice.
