this country makes me sick to my stomach, and some idiots still trry to make us believe this is the example to follow, that's hilarious. how many cases of power abuse do we have to show before people stop with saying "stop bashing our country omg omg omg!!" and start wondering in what kind of sick society they are living in.

Spending the rest of your life in jail because you broke someones toe just doesn't sound right with me. Of course he freaks out when he got an angry mob trying to, and successfully hurting him. I wonder if the guy who punched him gets the same sentence, because, you could kill someone by punching them in the nose. Could this be the reason US has one of the highest ratios of prisoners pr. citizen? It just might be....

Things like this make me ashamed to live here. The court system so often is used to appease rather than bring justice, it's shameful.

Don't want to be a dick but I'm curious. Could the story of the Norwegian psycho from months before had any influence on this?

I highly doubt that. It was one terrible incident and currently the trial is going on in a very professional way.

Shit like this story here pops up fairly often and is the reason why so much US-bashing is going on. Just look through the general section, every 5th thread will probably be about some case of american police violence/injustice or some crazy new law (hi arizona). The whole story sounds very biased, but just watching the video and how the police handles stuff tells me everything i need to know.

The norwegian clearly was breaking the law in some way or another, but 5-35 years?

Yeah. The bias in the writing is absurd. It makes him seem like such a victim. Who cares why he is in the states or why he got a rental car. The fact is that he ran over someone almost hit someone's family and fled the scene.

What is with my country? this is absolutely unacceptable if i was in that guys situation i don't know what i would do... this makes me wanna call the jail hes in and give him support! no one deserves this bullshit he did absolutely NOTHING wrong only panicked because he was being attacked by a fucking mob, they should arrest all the retards that were surrounding his car, i would say this is a fucking hate crime and the state is taking action against the wrong person.

I don't give a fuck if you thought your wife and kids were "gonna get run over" the guy that broke his nose should be doing the sentence, you don't just walk up and punch somebody in the face while they are steering an automobile, how in the fuck does that even help the situation?! Fuck the people in Arizona bunch of bastards i hope they all go to jail for tenfold of what this guy got... there's just no excuse for this, EVERYBODY makes mistakes! just because you have a group against you doesn't mean state law has to persecute you, this man deserves justice NOW!

Edit: lol tons of spelling mistakes i ranted a little bit too much xD

Just read that he's already "proven" guilty and that he will get sentenced in a couple of hours..

Considered dangerous

VG presented the story of 33-year-old who is imprisoned in Navajo County Jail on Monday. There, he is considered one of the most dangerous prisoners, and mets with VG in anklets and handcuffs in prison.

- "The treatment I receive here in prison is based on what I have been arrested for, not what I am convicted of, as long as I have not measured the penalty. The conditions here are pretty bad for me right now. I can get out of my cell three times per week, one hour each time, to take me a shower and maybe read the documents. Otherwise, I'm inside the cell, which has a toilet, a sink and a mat to sleep on", says Lars farm.
This is where we begin. Show your true self, Battosai.

No

It's an extremely long pile of horseshit. At best, most of it is false and spun heavily.

Err, link is there now if it wasn't before you posted, and yeah, our media is stupid but I wouldn't call it a pile of horseshit.

After someone broke his nose, and after he "fled" he called the cops and said he had been attacked.

Yeah, clearly sounds like an attempted mass murderer trying to kill people.
The article may be biased, but even if everything is true it wouldn't really surprise me, there's crazy shit like this all the time.

Seems highly unlikely he would try to injure or kill people with his car when his mother is sitting right next to him in the car.

He's just a bad driver it seems like.

English, do you speak it? He hit 6 people with his car, that counts as doing something wrong. If the it really happened the way the article states (unlikely), then his sentence is way harsh and a fine would have been way more than enough. I would wait until more than one news story is available before jumping to such extreme judgement.

It's ignorant people like you that get innocent people to jail.

You have to think further than just..... "ok he clearly drove over that persons toe.......... DEATHSENTENCE!!!".

He does, do you? He grazed on person and run over another persons toe. After being punched in the face and having his nose broken.

As for the punishment, I doubt he will get 35 years in jail. In America, you are usually charged with a more serious crime, to give an incentive to plead to a lesser charge. Even the greater charge here seems to be 5 years. Thats why in the George Zimmerman case they charged him with 2nd degree murder. they hope he will plead guilty to manslaughter. They dont actually think he should be charged with murder.



Wow, do i get that right: The suspect is threatend with decades in jail to get an incentive to plead to lesser charge? And that is called a justice system? Is that done to speed up trails and reduce cost because it's easier for everyone when the suspects pleads guilty?

That sounds like the lightweight version of the Spanish Inquisition - without physical torture. If that is anywhere close to the truth maybe our fellow posters from the US should take the 'bashing' of the US 'justice' system as a statement of concern instead. Maybe it can even be an incentive to get active and try to improve the system?

Oh - and about the "without physical torture"-part: What about that little camp on Cuba again? Excuse me. Not part of this thread...
