The Post reports a man was attacked by a ratbag in Porirua, resulting in his face being so massively shattered, he had more than 140 nuts and bolts inserted in his face to strengthen the rebuild.
The offender’s colleague also attacked another bloke, hitting him with what the judge described as a “cowards punch”, leaving his face badly gashed.
Both accused pleaded guilty.
In Australia, Britain, or the USA, the offenders would be imprisoned for terms between 10 and 30 years.
Here? You guessed it. Home detention for respectively nine months and seven months for the two offenders.
This is insanity and I’ll offer generous odds both pieces of rubbish will offend again. And why not given the repercussions are so absurdly light.
