So you don't lock them up because you're worried they'll become worse criminals, but you leave them on the streets where they... keep being criminals? And they never get punished, so they keep doing it, and then one day... they just stop maybe? They're shit and most of them have already been...

What odds do you want to give me? - Perps are youth crims (or have been), likely involved in certain gangs. Have a shopping list of previous offences including motor vehicle theft, assault and burglary, and despite being in and out of court have had not spent any real time locked up. People can...

Been a rough few weeks for kids in NW Tasmania.

Doesn't seem like much, though, does it? Like you'd think a 4 yo girl away from her parents for 18 days in a strange place would consistently be making a fair bit of noise, such that the neighbours living nearby would wonder why that is coming from the house of the quiet loner guy who they know...

Can't believe how much sentiment had softened on the perpetrator, with some even seeming to trend towards sympathetic to him, painting him as some poor, deranged but ultimately innocent and harmless individual, even throwing up some bizarre speculations about his sexual orientation and gender...

I recall there being a psychic saying something about colouring books. Damn, if they'd just gone with dolls instead.

I was wondering that. I'm presuming they took her and then staked out the house until he returned.

Yeah, that whole story sounds ridiculous. Funny if true but I don't see it happening. Far more likely he just brained himself on a wall or floor.

Is that right? I heard he was living out some online fantasy with fake family social media accounts.

What does that have to do with anything? Of all the times to get on your BLM soapbox.

Or he thought he could sell her. It was recently reported they were trawling the dark web.

You think he was stealing sleeping bags by reaching into occupied tents at 3am in the morning, and was surprised to see that someone was in it? Seems a tad far-fetched. Maybe if he'd seen the parents go off on a walk during the day or something...

There's a whole host of possible motivations/intentions. Nothing to really inform speculation. If there was some longer-term goal driving his efforts to keep her in good condition that would have ultimately harmed her, everyone should be very thankful the police got her/him now.

Said he was injured in his cell. Cop with heavy hands or did he start smashing his head into a wall?

What, you reckon she wandered into the bloke's house?

Far out, haven't read details but just checked the news and it's astounding. Great news and seems from absolutely nowhere. It looked tremendously grim. Not usual for them to turn up alive when missing for so long, and the police were at least publicly giving the impression they had very little...

The people and institutions of power that served to obfuscate and facilitate his crimes despite being aware should be brought to light and public scrutiny, and made to face consequences. Frightening to think how much of this kind of stuff is lurking beneath the surface of society but is...

It's a good point. Not a crime that could have been perpetrated here, so why should we pay for it? You enable the criminal, you cop the result.

To think, he could have waited a year for a virus to do a way better job of that than he ever could, and he wouldn't have had to sacrifice his own life. Swings and roundabouts...

I love how journalists just throw in terms to try and add spice to their writing without bothering to look up what they mean. How exactly is 8chan on the dark web?

Poor Gramps. What else could he do but murder his daughter, four grandkids and wife? There really was no other logical, rational solution here.

You know, they should introduce castration as a sentence after so many rape convictions.

It was briefly mentioned on the guy's Wikipedia page, but has been removed...

Yeah. It was posted in this thread before the clean out.

She may not have had time to use it.

It's not morally wrong, make whatever jokes you want (not in here). However, you really do come off as a try-hard trying to be edgy.

I do too. I was surprised when I saw "86". I was expecting him to be around 15 or 16 with this kind of sense of humour and his love of "LULZ EPIC MEMES FTW"

Don't know if imprisonment was much of a deterrent for this bloke. It appears he'd been in and out of there plenty of times throughout his life and had not been rehabilitated to the extent where he would no longer want to rape and murder innocent people.

That doesn't really piss me off, but it's not funny and makes you sound like a try hard flog. I can understand not feeling sympathy though, I guess, especially when you take into consideration the fact that this happens to people all the time all around the world and they often do not get the...
