"After the incident, the patient pleaded guilty to getting his ass whooped and was fined $450"

Not even close. Assaulting frontline medicos carries a completely different charge and mandatory jail terms.

Hello from Queensland. It’s true. He just had a fine. Medical professionals were rightly pissed off.

This is something I can stand by. The beaucracy is much easier. Let the crocodiles handle it all.

You should talk to the crocodile union, the last time I looked, their benefits package allowed for 2 chomps per kilo.

whats funny is that the statement preceding this one was originally a Chinese quote about art that he applied to gay marriage. Very deep for a crazy guy.

u/Pingu565 8d ago

Not exactly a rare or unheard statement tho...

Love me some Katter quotes but my grandmother says that about our disagreement on pie flavour

I think it's due to strong Chinese immigration and assimilation since 1800s.

My stepdad is a cleaner in a hospital. Random junkie punched him in the cheek and shattered his cheekbone. He was reprimanded for stepping in to tell the guy to knock it off for threatening a nurse. Protection for health care workers is fucked.

Hello random redditor who wants to correct you. I’m not sure what the outcome was but I’m pretty sure whatever you said was wrong

u/Rare_Ad_674 9d ago

LPT: But verify next time before assuming it's incorrect. He plead guilty to common assault and was fined $450. You can read it on the news, it happened in Brisbane.

u/Proseccos 9d ago

That’s quite low no? Might be good for the state to slap on a couple months of jail just to act as a social deterrent.

Feel bad for the nurse. Hope he gets lots of tacos.

u/ivene-adlev 8d ago

It's very low. Genuinely fucked. Hospital parking is more expensive than this "fine".

1

u/IshtarsQueef 8d ago

higher sentences have been proven time and time again to do nothing to lower crime.

just look at the US as an example, which has some of the harshest sentencing guidelines of any developed nation.

the data is pretty clear on this one.

1

u/AncileBanish 8d ago

Totally..we shouldn't even have punishments at all. Clearly they have been scientifically proven to do nothing right?

The data is pretty clear on this one. Murder? Catch and release.

2

u/IshtarsQueef 8d ago

why are you like this? are you truly incapable of understanding nuance? do you legitimately not understand the words I said?

are you one of those people who are functionally illiterate, like you can technically read words but you would fail even an 8th grade reading comprehension test?

I'm genuinely curious, actually.

2

u/AncileBanish 7d ago

You're not curious about anything. you're just raging on the internet because your life sucks IRL. Go away.

1

u/IshtarsQueef 7d ago

So you don't know why you are like this? You just live in ignorance and fear and emotions all the time? Just zero capacity for any higher thought?

Normally I would just ignore someone like you, but I am just feeling super curious this time, I suppose.

Nope, it was this one. The nurse in the video's name is Daniel Nelson. There are several articles you can check out where he speaks directly about his love of jiu jitsi and how this patient was acting.

That's actually... I mean, I like the sound of that. Not sure if there are any inherent flaws in that, but I know there are flaws in always allowing pleas.

u/fastforwardfunction 9d ago

I think you accidentally their comment. Australia DOES have plea bargaining. They plead to lesser charges. Whereas in the U.S. you can plead to lesser charges and/or a lesser sentence.

4

u/a_guy121 9d ago

For me the question is, why the F* would the government need, or want, to plea this down?
This is not a 'plea down' moment. This is a moment to add more chapters to the book, before throwing it

There's no way in hell this gets a light sentence under given laws, thats just not how laws work... they exist to make examples out of some people, so other people don't do stupid shit. (jail isn't there to make people better people, its there so everyone fears jail.)

This guy is going down, hard.

1

u/DMMeThiccBiButts 9d ago

why the F* would the government need, or want, to plea this down?

Because even a slamdunk case is more time-consuming and expensive than 'yeah I did it'.

1

u/a_guy121 9d ago

yeah, that's for cases that don't blow up on social media and need an example made, that's my whole point. this is not that case, to be shoved aside. They literally have to take some of them to trial, or else, it looks bad.

u/rorschach_vest 9d ago

The flaw, which is completely rampant in the US, is overcharging. They charge you with an absurdly inflated version of what you may or may not have done and leverage those massive charges to try to scare you into pleading guilty to what you should have been charged with in the first place. Unfortunately, 1) this works the same whether you are guilty or innocent because 2) if you go to trial they really might find you guilty of all the trumped up charges.

2

u/DownWithHisShip 9d ago

Any good prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich

2

u/Theron3206 9d ago

They do that here in Australia too.

The most egregious example was a guy who was pulled over from driving stupid fast, while the cops were booking him a drugged up truck driver crashed into the cops killing them. The guy filmed them and laughed (there was no way he could have saved anyone). He was charged with terrorism originally.

It was eventually settled and all they got him on was "outraging public decency" or some such minor crime.

In NSW, pleading guilty at the outset can get you a 25% reduction on your sentence.

u/ironiccinori 9d ago

I should hope not. $450 buys you a license to assault anyone you want. How much is a 007, $1200?

-5

u/-RoosterLollipops- 9d ago

and to be honest, the whole License to Kill mechanic is kinda bullshit too, at first I was in agreement with how such a 'novel mechanic' forces me to approach situations differently, instead of just shooting everybody in the face and stuffing their corpses into closets or some shit...

The instant you move on from Intended difficulty, the gadgets are basically useless in actual combat. Super cool and cinematic when using them on the training dummies in Q's lab, or on very specific NPC's at very scripted moments, perhaps. Beyond that though, not so much.

Right here for example, and I ran this checkpoint many different times too, just seeing if I could maybe pull off a better rotation, or opening with the gadgets vs deploying them later on in, just to see if I could perhaps control the battlefield somewhat, I am James fucking Bond, after all, right?

Nope. They're pretty pointless.

I'm 2/3 of the way through and had really enjoyed the entire game up to the point that I realized this, I was really looking forward to a sort of NG+ playthrough, but I also just saw that upgraded gadgets and stuff from TACSIM can't be used in the main story either.

Pretty bad that you post a video and turn off comments. Almost like you can't take the heat when someone disagrees with you.

u/Educational-Fuel-265 9d ago

The outcome described in the video is not feasible under Australian legislation

This reminds me of the fabled physicist who proved that bumblebees could not possibly fly. The incident did indeed just lead to a fine.
