Mandatory sentencing and Aboriginal crime

Left-wing journalists, in their dumbed-down, sanitised, politically correct version of Australian "news" have depicted mandatory sentencing laws as the jailing of  Aboriginals for stealing biscuits. They refuse to give a true picture of Aboriginal crime. 

This article aims to put some perspective into the issue Aboriginal crime. It is a sad reflection on the mainstream media that none of them would have the guts or integrity to publish such an article.

It must be said at the outset that the majority of Aboriginals are law-abiding citizens. But a significant minority consider themselves above the law.

These are some of the reasons mandatory sentencing was introduced into WA

87-year old widow bashed by Aboriginal thief   

Elsie Hughes woke from a nap in her home in the Perth suburb of Lathlain to find a teenage intruder in her kitchen.

She offered him a cup of tea. In return, he viciously beat her. The next thing Elsie Hughes remembers is waking up in Royal Perth Hospital with two black eyes, a broken cheekbone and severe bruising to her face and neck.

This is the person police are seeking to interview over the vicious bashing of Elsie Hughes. 

He is described as an Aborigine, about 180cm tall, of medium build with dark curly hair. He was wearing a dark jumper.

Elderly people live in fear

Many of Perth's elderly people barricade themselves in their houses, in a constant state of fear due to the prevalence of home invasions and senseless bashings. One retirement home has applied to the local council to build an electric fence around the property to protect the inhabitants from constant home invasions.

The rights of our senior citizens to live in peace should come before the loudly-trumpeted rights of criminals (black or white).

The spark that ignited community outrage

A tall, well-built, 22-year-old Aboriginal man, who we cannot name because of the archaic law relating to juveniles, but who we will call Kaypee, was the spark that ignited community outrage at soft sentencing of Aborigines, and led to mandatory sentencing of repeat offenders in WA.

In a high-speed chase on Christmas day 1991, he crashed his stolen car into a family car, killing Margaret Blurton, who was pregnant, and her year-old son, Shane. 

The court was told Kaypee had around 400 convictions as a juvenile offender.

At his trial, he was again he was given a soft sentence. Community outrage led to more than 20,000 people marching on parliament demanding tougher sentences for repeat offenders. The marchers targeted judges for handing out lenient sentences. The government reacted by introducing mandatory sentencing for repeat offenders.

Kaypee in the meantime continues to re-offend.

More victims of Aboriginal crime in WA

LEFT: 22 year-old Lee Dodson was attacked when he confronted  three Aboriginal youths trying to steal work tools from his car outside his Coolbellup home. Mr Dodson was stabbed in the stomach and forehead with a 15cm screwdriver.

RIGHT: 51 year-old invalid pensioner, Alan Proctor, received a broken nose, cheek and hand as well as lacerations to his face when he was viciously attacked by two Aboriginal youths near the Ashfield train station.. Mr Proctor was repeatedly kicked after he fell to the ground during the attack.

Man, wife bashed by Aboriginal gang

James Mayers received permanent eye damage, a fractured cheek and broken nose when he and his wife were attacked by a teenage gang of 20 Aboriginal youths near the Bayswater railway station. The gang followed Mr Mayers and his wife from the railway station, surrounded the couple and then smashed Mr Mayers to the ground and kicked him repeatedly in the head.  Mr Mayers said "It was a very savage beating. I was king-hit and went down . They didn't stop once I was down. They were whipped into frenzy. They were  whooping and hollering". Mrs Mayers, who was punched several times, said, "They were like a pack of animals". There were 5 girls in the gang.

Brutal murder and rape

Aboriginals, Ryan Jarrid Kenneally and Bevan Joseph Lawson, brutally assaulted a young South Hedland woman and murdered her fiancée. The woman was sexually assaulted by a bottle wielded by the men. 

Her fiancée was then murdered. Kenneally thrust  a 20cm kitchen knife  through his heart with such force it came out his back. He died almost immediately.

Both men decided the woman had to be killed because she was a witness. Kenneally said to her, "You know what is going to happen to you", and then slit her throat.

The woman pretended to be dead. The men stabbed her again, hit her in the back and left. The woman survived and was able to identify her attackers.

Why point up Aboriginal crime?

The public is sick of the sympathy given to criminals by the elitist alliance of academics, lawyers, judges, politicians and the media. The do-gooders and bleeding-hearts have no concept of Aboriginal crime and its consequences. It is not about stealing biscuits. It is about home invasions, bashings, rape and murder. There are real victims out there. 

Nobody makes a criminal bash an elderly lady, or kick a man nearly  to death or rape a woman and then slit her throat  or thrust a knife through a man's heart. It is their choice to do it. The mainstream view is: if you do the crime, you do the time. 

Only a minority of Aboriginals offend. While this lawless minority are allowed to offend repeatedly, they tarnish the image of the majority of decent, law-abiding Aboriginals.

The source of the problem

In my opinion, the reason Aboriginal crime is out of proportion to the Aboriginal population is due to two causes:

  • The do-gooder mentality of labelling groups such as Aboriginals as "victims".
     If you constantly tell a person he is a victim, he will build up a mind-set of hatred and revenge. He also gets the idea that he is not responsible for his actions. He can do anything, get away with any crime and he is not responsible. Labelling a group as "victims" is probably the most effective way of destroying the group's morale, aspirations and future.

    This culture has produced a small hard-core of incorrigible Aboriginal criminals who openly flout the law, knowing the Aboriginal Legal Service will use unlimited amounts of taxpayers money and play the "racist" and "victim" cards to get them off all but the most serious charges.

  • The Aboriginal industry 
    - the collection of taxpayer-funded Aboriginal misfits and white lawyers, journalists, anthropologists and others with their snouts in the public trough. Members of this industry control billions of dollars of taxpayer funds. The Aboriginal "leaders" have a vested interest in creating and prolonging  conflict between white and black communities. If there was no conflict, they would not keep their jobs. They help perpetuate the "victim" syndrome. These demagogues enjoy great perks, privileges,  wealth and power at the expense of taxpayers and the rest of the Aboriginal population.
