George Burgess charged

[ek999]

except Fergo isnt alledged to have committed a crime in QLD
his maximum sentence is the same as Burgess's.

Why hasnt our wonderful integrity committee stepped in to stop this monster representing our wonderful code!
Oh the humanity

You do realise he has been stood down by Souths whilst the integrity unit is investigating the incident don't you

 

[Pete Cash]

Should be stood down until July 10th according to bm

In the eyes of the nsw justice system the offence that Ferguson committed carries the same maximum as the one Burgess did in the eyes of the qld justice system these are the facts Mong..

obviously insert the word alleged in there

If you are going to apply a comparison and use a QLD sentence then logic dictates you compare QLD sentence with QLD sentence or its an invalid comparison attempt.

Imagine how silly this could get if we started comparing with all sorts of jurisdictions that suits whatever point each person wants to make.

BunniesDerp makes this thread. Too good.

 

[Swarzey]

He's a Souffs player, we all know Russell's money will get him out of any trouble.

I just did some googling. Nsw doesn't have the same crime I don't believe but it would fall under malicious damage of property which also carries a 5 year maximum

"I have let my team and my family down.

"I acknowledge that I am a role model for kids and I will do everything I can to restore my reputation through working harder in the community.

"It is my responsibility to ensure that this type of behaviour does not happen again.

"I will learn from my mistake and bounce back stronger and better as a person."

Disappointed by his weak initial efforts, Burgess is planning to increase his training so next time he can throw a bus through a skyscraper.

See ripping a stop sign out the ground I could imagine was just the result of drunken bets..
.but why did he then smash a car with it. Pretty puzzling.

 

[macnaz]

Lets deport him

Thats not such a stupid statement, a criminal record can certainly affect his visa status.

Probably just making sure nobody tripped over it

He probably just tossed it over his shoulder when he was finished picking his teeth with it.

car look at George funny. George angry teach car lesson

 

[dogslife]

All this talk of deportation will stop when Rusty officially adopts George and he becomes a citizen

 

[Sphagnum]

The funniest part is, this merkin would have/will crack under the pressure of finals footy anyway. He'll be in good company playing for Souths but they are better off trying to find somebody who doesn't go missing when the going gets tough rather than this cat.

 

[Snappy]

racist

Liar

You can't make this shit up. :lol:

What reason do you have to say that? He has been fantastic this season.

 

[Bring it home Knights]

Predictably his tune has changed now it's a Lol@Souffs player involved

Bunniesman seriously needs to get a dictionary and look up the words subjectivity and objectivity. One of those words applies VERY strongly to him. Can you guess which one?

 

[Sir Les Patterson]

Thousand times worse?

In QLD, wilful damage carries a maximum penalty of 5 years imprisonment (unlikely he would get this obviously).

Drink Driving with BAC over 0.15 is max 18 months, and driving unlicenced a max of 1 year.

Apparently QLD doesn't think its worse.

Does anyone know why Aussie Jim had no licence?
If licence has been cancelled/suspended to be then caught driving is a minimum 2 years extra, not even considering the 4 X over part. I guess that would be a different fine to failing to renew a licence then driving.

Shouldn't there be a charge for ripping out the street sign as well?

i don't get where people are coming up with he ripped out a street sign, all the articles I have read say he has 2 charges of willfull damage on cars and he used a street sign he found in the street.

From that i take it as he found the sign on the ground and has damaged 2 vehicles?
