Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2620759, member: 2221"] [b]re: [Confirmed] Russell Packer --> Panthers[/b] You didn't address all of my post! :thefinger: You're again ignoring the victim in all of this. Why should he/she be subject to his/her attacker parading on TV, playing professional sports and earning a big wage (which he would still do on a minimal contract) and living a privileged life? You're arguing about the possibility of killing someone, versus a deliberate attempt to do so, which are two completely different things. It doesn't matter who the victim is, but when the actions are similar, then doing it to a pregnant woman is much worse than doing it to a bloke of course. As far as I know, Lui's actions never put his wife's life in danger. It's not remotely close to what Packer did! Regardless, I feel the same way about Lui being in the NRL... it's disgusting. Yeah I know you didn't. I was giving an example of what constitutes attenuating factors and what doesn't... I'm not going to speculate about what he tried to use as a defense, especially when it was conveniently out of camera range. I'll stick only to the facts reported in court, and the decisions made based on those... What makes you think that someone capable of what he did, is not at risk of re-offending the next time he has too many drinks, especially in an environment such as the NRL? [/QUOTE]
