Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2722159, member: 1899"] I don't think anybody comes out of this looking good. I've already had my say on Pearce, what he did was wrong and he has to face the consequences of his actions. If he feels rehab will help him become a better person, so be it, but he still has to face some sort of punishment to act as a deterrent and give back to the community in some regard. However, if those sms texts are the genuine article, than it shines an uncomfortable light on modern society where people are looking to dob their fellow man in, and for what? Greed? Notoriety? I don't understand how people can be so selfish in that regard. To think "oh this guy is off my chops, let me just whip my phone out so I can make a quick buck," is just too common and should be socially frowned upon. It's one thing to do it to a mate and have a laugh with mutual friends, another to get in the bed with the media, show it to their boss or to their folks. It's vindictive stuff. Then you get all these thugs who can't think of anything better to do than escalate the situation. What's done is done, threatening to bash the bloke up isn't going to solve anything. All you can do in a situation like this is get behind your mate, perhaps make a statement about this 'gotcha' culture and see if you can't make something positive out of it. Trying to solve problems with violence is not the answer... ...it may seem easier but at the end of the day the ends don't justify the means. I'm Alan Jones. [/QUOTE]
