If you did 30 something break enter and steal's how much time would you get????What sort of fine /penalty would you receive????
Just remember your little girl/baby boy is not outside crossing the road, the streetside dining area is of no interest to a burglar!!!! Nobody gets harmed or threatened in any way. No bicycle rider, no skater, motorcyclist, jogger, nothing.
Then you compare that to somebody like Mr Russell - 120 in a 60 zone, driving under the influence, using downtown suburbia as his personal racetrack - I reckon he got away with murder, the penalties are nothing. The car was not his it was borrowed, so maybe the real owner should be held accountable as well. Who would lend their car -and such a car - to somebody that got caught that many times doing stupid thoughtless acts with no regard for other peoples safety.
Mr Russell was extremely lucky, one oil patch, one blown tyre, one stray dog and it could have been your son, brother, neice, best mate.
