Hockey Dad was Sentenced for 6 to 10 yrs!!!!

[BronzedGoddess]

You know what sucks.......a guy killed my friend Howard in high school, he shot into the car and killed my friend , he did it on purpose but he got 10 years probation. What kinda shit is that. I can't believe the type of world we live in.

Apparently, it's not murder because if it was they would be charged with a crime.

So is abortion, but you don't see anyone being charged with murder there. The fact of the matter is that this man killed another, in front of both of their children, yet he is getting a slap of the wrist.

Sure, 6-10 years sounds like a lot for those of us who are law-abiding citizens. It also sounds like a lot for, say, purse-snatching or driving recklessly to flee from a police officer... but 6-10 years for murder? He got off nicely.

There's a difference between self-defense and what he did. This man did not defend himself - he took it to the extreme, and it is not unreasonable to say that he is capable of doing it again. This animal needs to be in a cage where he belongs.

BTW: Someone please find RyanH so he can tell us about how this guy was depressed or something and how it's not his fault.

Can't you read? I didn't say he was charged with murder. I said he committed murder and that he should be charged with it.

Get YOUR facts straight, Freak-Man.

And I think the sentence he got was good enuf!!!!

And I don't. But since I'm not you, I guess I must be wrong.

From what I understand, what caused the death was an artery on the back of his neck that got damaged from the neck being hyperextended. It caused him to go unconscious and from there he never regained consciousness.
I think 6-10 years is a long time to think about beating someone and is long enough to effect rehabilitation. Whether or not it fits the "punishment" aspect of incarceration, I dunno.

warik this is twice we've agreed recently......im scared...make it stop



hello, he bashed the back of the guys skull REPEATEDLY against a concrete floor

thats the weakest part of the skull, he'd probably be unconcious or at least subdued after the first hit but this guy repeatedly rammed his skull into the floor

ok, he was defending himself, this guy who died was a cocky asshole, he went on the offensive. fine. when does going on the offensive mean performing a very dangerous (fatal) attack on someone else. why not just kick they guy hard in the groin, punch to the chest, face, throat

if he had snapped his neck, or strangled him, would you think any different? why is ramming someones skull into the floor ANY different?

and he's 'probably' had a history of doing it before, as his past history was considered. this was a lenient sentence, warik is partially right when he says it sets up a worrying precedent....if someone attacks you are you then entitled to use any degree of force een after the person is subdued

and if a woman had attacked him you'd all be screaming for the chair btw, as he had brutally assaulted a defenceless woman. why does a physically weaker man make a difference

 

[theoak01]

i think he got what he deserved but the kids of the victim should never have been able to take the stand,because that sunk junta right away

 

[p0ink]

ok, some of you people are really fucking ridiculous in thinking that he didnt deserve what he got. hello...he fuckin killed someone. someone much smaller than him to. i have been in my fair share of fights and when you do fight, it's about disabling your opponent, not fucking killing them. saying he was 'provoked' is bullshit. this stupid motherfucker should learn something called self control, hopefully a few cocks in his ass during his stint in prison will teach him a lesson.

 

[XBiker]

I feel sorry for the guys son who died as well but SIR YOU ARE WRONG!!!

The guy WAS NOT MURDERED he was accidentely KILLED!!!!!

He never intentionally meant to kill the guy and you want the guy to rot!!!!

YOU'VE GOT PROBLEMS!!!!!

And what do you have to say about this guy smashing the other guys head on the ground?

Sounds like he was trying to kill him to me.

If you think that self defense consist of pounding someone to death, you my friend are the one with problems.

Boxers have killed each other before but do they get charged for a crime?

Is that murder Warick?

this is seriously the stupidest rationale i have ever heard in my life. boxers willingly go into a fight knowing full well what can happen and what the potential dangers may be. However, they agree to it and sign a release form that holds no one else responsible for what may happen during a normal fight (mike tyson biting off apendages does not count here). But the fact of the matter is, boxing is a sport and both parties agree.

However, i dont think this other guy agreed to having his head slammed into the cement by a fucking wanna-be tough guy, or being bludgeoned to death by a complete and utter idiot. a fist fight i can understand happening, but what this guy did was completely out of line and there is absolutely no way to justify it, since his life was in no apparent danger. if someone is not putting your life in danger, there is absolutely no reason to take another life. learn some self control. after you knock another man down or out cold or whatever, let that be the end. don't try to be a fucking tough guy by trying to prove a point by inflicting more damage.
