The Night Thread Mk. IX

Here to piss on everyone's fun, but German's don't just say one word sentences they just have compound nouns which are actually pretty cool.

We actually have them in English a bit as well, you would just tend to hyphenate them.

Swedish works the same way. In theory you could combine an infinite amount of words to create one ridiculously long word.

(severed arteries, for instance, look up "Clint Malarchuk" on YT if you feel like getting sick.).

I've seen worse injuries, both in terms of the damage done (e.g. injuries where people got paralysed or died) and in terms of shocking imagery (severed arteries, for instance, look up "Clint Malarchuk" on YT if you feel like getting sick.).

That said, that was an incredibly gruesome injury. The reactions from his fellow players really says all that needs to be said about it.

I'm fucked. Must've walked 3-5 miles around our work warehouses, up and down, horrible shoes and a driving wind.

I honestly can't believe that Mick Philpott will be eligible for release in just 15 years after murdering six of his own children. what the fuck is wrong with British justice?
I'm not one of these people who harp on about bringing back hanging after every high profile case but being able to walk out of prison in just 15 years for the murder of six people is ludicrously soft.

Wasn't your backed fucked?

I've barely been following the story, but hasn't he been convicted of manslaughter rather than murder?

Its ok at the moment. Still get random spasms and stuff but im not some kind of mope who stays at home as soon as there is something wrong with me.

He'll be eligible, but he won't get release.

There's a bit of a misconception about what the minimum sentences actually mean. He has to serve 15 years before whether he is the type of person (i.e. no risk to society) that could be released is considered, if he is deemed still a risk he will continue to be locked up and re-assessed every few years, if he is deemed a risk for the rest of his life he will be locked up for the rest of his life.

When and if he is released he still isn't free, he'll just be released on license which is an agreed set of terms and conditions that can see him re-locked up again if ever breached (or if he is seen to be posing a danger to the public).

It's not like he'll be out again in 15 years time, and if he is, its because there is seen to be no need to actually keep him behind bars.

Hang the fucking cunt.

Aye.

Arent there two different kinds of manslaughter, I cant find out which one he has been convicted of. I believe one is a max sentence of 10 years and the other is something silly like 1-3 years, so it seems possible that he was convicted of 6 x the lesser manslaughter.

You're all for capital punishment?

I know when this sort of thing happens there's a public outcry for retribution, but I'm never quite sure how many of those people actually want capital punishment to be brought back into force in this country.

Voluntary manslaughter (which is following a successful defence of what used to be diminished responsibility or provocation, and which has since changed, albeit not significantly), which carried a potential sentence of life. And involuntary manslaughter, most commonly where there was an illegal act - such as an assault - without the necessary mens rea to be murder, and which also carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. In one case murder is charged, and the successful defence essentially mitigates the charge to manslaughter. In the other, manslaughter is charged.
