Compare and contrast

Yesterday - man imports cannabis, gets caught = 5 years in jail.
A couple of months ago - man who sexually abuses children, gets caught = 6 month suspended sentence.
Yesterday - man downloads hundreds of kiddie porn images = €1,000 fine and 2 year suspended sentence.
Now I’m not saying that importing 27 kilos of grass is all right. Obviously there are laws in place about it and if you risk it you have to be willing to take the punishment. There are those that will say that people who smoke grass will go on to take heroin and end up like that bloke in Trainspotting who’s bird discovers their home-made porn video has been nicked so he tries heroin and gets addicted to heroin and ends up dying of cat flu or something.
Of course there are people like that but there are people who can go out and have a drink every night and not become alcoholics whereas there are others who drink a drink then live for drink for the rest of their lives. You never hear of somebody coming out of a nightclub after smoking 12 joints and starting fights. Substitute joints for pints and you’ll see the difference. Anyway, the point is that in the main smoking a few joints tends to make people placid, giggly, hungry for stuff they wouldn’t normally eat and willing to listen to Pink Floyd.
Now, having sex with a young boy, to me, seems a far worse crime than smuggling some dried plants. Perhaps I’m wrong, maybe my perspective is skewed, but surely an adult sexually abusing more than one child on more than one ocassion deserves more time in jail than the grass man.
I’m not suggesting that the grass smuggler should be given less than 5 years. If that’s what the law says then that’s the way the judge has got to handle it. What I am suggesting is that the degenerate, perverted, child rapist should be given more than 5 years. Something has to be done about the sentencing for child abusers, downloaders of kiddie porn and so on. At the moment they’re getting off with ridiculously lenient sentences while, to my mind, far lesser offences are being punished more.
Yes, they get placed on the Sex Offenders Register in Ireland but then nobody has access to that so nobody knows who the fuck is on it. They get away with fines and suspended sentences and it makes you wonder why.
Don’t you wonder why? Doesn’t it make you suspicious? I know I feel like that. Like there’s something being hidden. Like people are being slapped on the wrist and not punished too serverely in case they open their mouths and implicate all kinds of people. Maybe I’m just being a suspicious Aloysius. Maybe not.
They’ve got to start getting tougher with these people or people will have to start asking some seriously difficult questions. And I’m sure they wouldn’t want that.

Seriously fucked up.
That’s what the system is.
Can we call for a referendum as citizens to reintroduce the death penalty for these scumbags?
Public executions.
That’ll make them think before taking their peckers out of their trousers.

I completly agree with the first post. Remember that scumbag in cork who raped and beat a woman half to death. Sentenced to four years two months ago.
Disgraceful.

How many of these child-abusing cunts actually get back *out* of jail? I’m just curious as I know they’re (quite rightly) a target of the more violent offenders, and a fair few get a right fucking seeing to inside.
Perhaps the idea is that the bastard should be dead inside that short timeframe, so they can workj the timings out so they don’t get the jails overcrowded?
Or is that wishful thinking?

It’d take a fuckload of doobies before I chose to listen to Pink Floyd.
And what are kids for, anyway?

They don’t get a seeing to over here mosher.They have their own special prision where they can regale each other with tales of what they did to their last victim.Which in itself is strange if you think about it, not only are they safe from normal crimbo’s who might inflict a bit of justice, they can learn new tricks to try when they get out.You can beat a good education.

Johnny - you know that stereotype of the stupid Irishman? The third bloke in all those crappy old jokes?
He’s a result of stupid fucking decisions like putting pedo’s in a safe prison as you’ve suggested. Any country that can do that sadly makes itself stand out as a country with such a fucking moron making the major decisions.
All pedos should share jail cells with large, scary, homosexual bum-rapers. And a jar of vaseline laced with glass powder.
And the guy who came up with the idea of a “safe house” for them should be strung up in public to clean your reputation.
