I have to believe in the law.

But I really struggle when a guy who fires a gun and kills a young kid gets off whereas someone spilling a drink is looking at ..... does it matter?

I can understand that the gunman didn't intend to shoot the kid. And maybe I can understand that the drinker maybe did intend to douse Zumatello. But the consequences of those actions? A dead child versus an almost damp man?

He's not going to get anywhere near the same sentence though, it's been a rediculous waste of money from lawyer fees POV.

You do know that the gunman was acquitted? Not guilty. No penalty. Carry on owning a gun.

2 years in the chook; R10,000 fine and no longer allowed to own a gun. Where did you get your information from?
 
And in other news known gangsters, killers and drug dealers walk free due to ineptitude of our "justice system" :rolleyes:
Is it any wonder that people are becoming more and more inclined to find their own kind of justice rather than bother with the clowns who are supposed to be applying the law
 
That idiot assaulted our beloved president use a drop of liquid. :eek:

How dare it was possible he used that heavy weapon (a drop of liquid.) to assault our president? The police should shoot-to-kill instantly for his action. :mad:

We demand heavy sentencing (at least 20 years in prison without parole). :mad:

from anc supporters.

:rolleyes:

Its a suspended sentence, hence NO time in the "chook" for MURDERING a child...

No, the 2 years are suspended for 5 years. Go and read again.

Hmm, how can a suspended sentence run cocurrently with a sentencing?
 
For what it's worth, the only liquid of mine I consider worthy of landing on Zuma is spit.

What do you mean?

His 2 year sentence is suspended for 5 yeas. It means he will not go to jail except if he commits the same crime in a 5 year period.

He didn't have a 2 year sentence though, the way I read is his time inside got lowered to two years.

Abrahamse pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2009 and was sentenced to five years, of which 10 months would have been served in prison and the remainder under house arrest.
