Six months in jail for a drunken grope?

You Know.. It comes down to: Do you agree with Chemical castration? Poland have already agreed to it, Califorinia and Miami presently use it as a valid form of punishmnent.
 
I was out a couple of years back in a club with friends when some bloke slapped a friend of mine (later to become my girlfriend) on the arse. Unfortunately for him I was about two yards away at the time and lets just say the police were not required. She was really freaked out about it but I did earn myself brownie points for dealing with the situation post haste. And even the bouncers were ok about it. When I told them what happened, their response was 'Fair enough'.

But if a girl hasn't got a man there to deal with the culprit (this seems a bit misogynistic) then by all means, it's entirely appropriate for the full weight of the law to be applied. A woman should be able to feel safe on a night out.

Note to all, before you say it...I left my keyboard at home that night!

And why is that different? Shouldn't the police have been called and the man locked up for 6 months and added to the sex offenders register?

By giving him just a slapping you have let a sex offender prowl the streets.

Guess you are saying vigilante>police?

Chemical castration isn't very effective unfortunately, drugs like DMPA and fluoxetine have limited efficacy.

Either way, justice would had been served. He will probably think twice before doing something like that again. The thought of getting a comprehensive slapping of another bloke is probably as much a detterant as the thought of the law getting involved and besides, until hearing about this I and I suspect the majority of people didn't know the law would dish out this level of punishment. But even still, at the time I can't see any way of me reacting differently in that moment. And then had it gone to the police, I too may have had the police on my case.

Justice not served. You became a vigilante and have admitted that you assualted him and would be in trouble with the police yourself. If he is a sex offender then a slapping won't stop him, he'll just be more careful in future.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Where do you draw the line? If he had raped your gf and you gave him a kicking within an inch of his life, would you allow him to walk the streets free to do it to somebody else?

On a non sexual note, if somebody mugged you and you gave them a kicking, would you not report it?

With such low rates of conviction for sexual assault and rape any proved case will I guess be made an example out of.

However, the article is awfully written.

If I'd given them a kicking I would not have been mugged.

Here's the scenario. You're out with a woman, she can be a family member, close friend, wife, girlfriend, date, whatever. Some bloke puts his hands on her in a manner you deem innappropriate. Do you :-

A. Shout and inform him that he has just committed assault and you are going to call the police and have him dealt with.

B. Call over the bouncers and watch as they ask him to leave the premises.

C. Deal with him yourself and protect someone you are close to.

I would pick C every time and I would hope that most other men would do the same. People these days are too mollycoddled and should accept that in some circumstances violence is more than acceptable. Maybe I've been brought up in an area with an old-fashioned way of thinking, but around here if you cross that sort of line you can expect a tuning.

if I were in the reverse position, and had an unknown woman grab my crotch or stick her grubby mitt down my undercrackers on a drunken night out, I'd want some form of justice, certainly.

If by justice you mean take her down some back alley for a drunken quickie then I'd be after justice too!

That's a tough one. Like Energize says, they shouldn't be released if they are still deemed a threat, but people can, and do still re-offend. In an extreme case like multiple child rape, I personally think the ******* should never be released, whether he "reforms" or not, but if he were to be released, he definitely should be monitored.

That's the problem though. Some are released while still predatory and some are very good at convincing the authorities that they are no longer a risk but clearly are when released ........ often being caught by monitoring by the PPU.

PS ..... sweary in your post. Please edit. :)
