Pizza delivery driver almost killed by .....and Wests tiger

[innsaneink]

Gees these young blokes need a reality check, they are on the verge of making some pretty handy $$$ but instead of getting off their Asses they take what they think is an easy option, I know that Rugby League is a fairly forgiving game that welcomes back miscreants but this time seriously these guys need a huge Rocket up their asses and need to do a hell of a lot to make sure the victim is well compensated, community service should see these @##$% being made to repay their debt to society by repaying it directly to the victim.

Didn't the bloke get 15 years?

Hekenui was given three, five-year sentences, which are to be served **concurrently.**
As he has already served 463 days in custody, he will be eligible for parole in April next year.
>
Galvin received a 12-month sentence, wholly suspended for two years.

Concurrent means ''at the same time" so basically 5 years, not 15….BUT.....
Hes done approx 15 months already on remand....plus the next four months to April next year it adds up to a bit over a year & a half....pfft.
18 months for nearly killing a bloke
not 5 years
not 15 years

What do you mean? The poor old fella is out trying to keep busy and earn some extra cash.
Nothings gone wrong in his life except being a good citizen and getting bashed for it.
They should have sent those two thugs to jail and publicly embarrassed them and their families. Cowards!

Yeah,stating the obvious its tough out there,if your on the dole or a pension and paying rent i hope you like baked beans.The rise in electricity charges & rents have wiped out the Pension increase so its back to square one for lots of elderly people,there are people over 70 delivering flyers/catalogues around our area,i don't know how they do it,all to get $20 for a days work.

Apparently both players attended Keebra Park which of course has an arrangement with the Tigers, however talented either of these players were only one of them proceeded to a NRL type contract, one of them has had his whole career derailed because the other more talented guy couldn't be bothered and sucked the less talented guy in, that less talented guy who actually had a contract with Penrith but failed to inform them of the gravity of the charge.
Meanwhile the link with the Tigers that has the dropkick who was the genius to this abhorrent crime is a very tenuous one indeed.

This story is very similar to one in Penrith this week (or last) a bloke got bashed for his Kebab. People on facebook were saying it was a waste of "tax payers dollars" to try and find the culprit as it was merely a Kebab.
Completely missing the gravity of the seriousness of a people bashing a bloke for a kebab, it was not as big news as the attackers were not well known and thankfully the victim was not seriously hurt, but people thought it was funny.

Speaking of fb i saw something pretty disgusting last weekend, well i thought anyway. The admin of a page im subscribed to posted pics of a car crash where 4 teenagers were killed. I don't mean pics published in the media, i mean his own. He must have happened to be in the vicinity when the accident occurred and took advantage. The sad part is the idiot thought he was being helpful and informative when in reality it was plain stupid as relatives could have seen it. That would be a charming way to find out that a loved has lost their life wouldn't it? moron

And also there were actually lowlifes laughing in the comments. Society is sick

 

[tigertye]

What a bunch of lowlife scum!

I'm 22, from western sydney and I must admit going to a local pub or club let alone the city or just walking home late at night has been a growing danger over the last few years because of idiots like these.

I was brought up by a single mum and told to turn the other cheek, but if it came to it and you had no choice go down swinging..

It's at the point where you look at these idiots (literally, just look) and its on! I had a knife pulled on me by a 20 year old a month ago when I was walking home with my girlfriend after dinner. When I told him I had no money he took a shot at me, and luckily I got him with a pretty good hook and pulled the knife off him .

I think anyone caught carrying a weapon should face 3-6 months in gaol, and anyone convicted of assault 6 months to 2 years.

I wish it was like the old days I've heard about where 2 blokes would have a crack, shake hands and buy each other a beer. Unfortunately it's not like that anymore and not settled with fists or one on one and more and more people are going to end up with serious injuries or dead if heavier penalties are not brought in on a general level.

Basically if you do this, you spend this amount of time away. No ifs or buts. Throw the book at them.

I actually shared that story on my Facebook. Only in Penrith would someone get jumped for their kebab, chips and have a shoe knocked off in the process. At face value it was that ridiculous it seemed like it was almost not worth reporting. I do feel for the bloke though, I've been set upon once or twice and come out the worse off and it's never a pleasant experience. He did however jump in a car with the alleged assailants which would suggest his attackers were known to him, and it didn't seem like the whole story was being reported.

Furthermore, why is it such a surprise for a 77 year old to be out working? The poor bloke might deliver pizzas to get out of the house, make ends meet or to simply keep himself busy. Don't see why there has to be a age limit on employability.

This whole sorry story reminds me a little of that poor German fellow in his sixties who was bashed to death by a couple of scumbags at Broadway Shopping Centre. He was only working to make ends meet and he got beaten to death because he tried to stop people pinching things from a Wendy's ice cream stand. Poor bugger had a busted knee too so they could have easily split without him giving chase. Human life holds so little value now…

The 77-year-old took up a job as a Pizza Hut delivery driver to help make ends meet. On his last delivery of the night, he was viciously robbed by two promising young footballers.

Mr Taylor was ambushed by the former Keebra Park High School mates after taking four pizzas worth just over $50 to an address in Hollywell on the night of the third State of Origin last year.

"Next thing I knew I felt a horrendous bang – it was as if I'd hit a brick wall," he said.

"I woke up 15 minutes later feeling nauseous and realised my phone, my cash, my watch were all there, but the pizza box was gone."
>
A single punch to the face ripped apart his jaw muscles, which would force him to live on liquids for a month -- but worse was yet to come.

On the way to hospital he suffered a heart attack and could have died.
>
"It shook me rigid," he said.

"For $51.80 of pizza they could have killed me."

As he has already served 463 days in custody, he will be eligible for parole in April next year.

[jadtiger]

As usual very weak magistrates. i wonder what he would have got if he had belted someone in the legal profession certainly not a slap on the wrists like this

It may not of been a weak magistrate but that was the maximum penalty for that offence, but i agreed it's very frustrating to hear these mongrels got off so lightly.
