PLAYER Ezra Mam

[BroncsFan]

Kempy has been going a bit harder on our lads of late. He’s certainly copped so much hate for being a broncos fan so now he’s over correcting a bit like what has happened to Corey Parker at times.

Conforming to the Sydney circle jerk to keep the views and clicks... weak as piss

That’s the modern way. All about the $$ because if you don’t have any you’re literally fucked.

I'd like to see how Kempy behaves at parties too....

Paul Kent would have been the most critical of Mam - oh wait!

If the NRL would stop another team signing him, I am still for it.

 

[Dexter]

I'm def not in favour of sacking.

The way its turned out with the drugs not being an issue with the law he deserves a second chance.
Put on notice for sure.

Although don’t care if he goes to super league.

But for a completely different reason to the Sydney and media masses

I was in favour of sacking him to start with, but that was only because Hunt was still on the market. Now we've got him anyway, I hope Ezra gets 0 weeks.

I guarantee if he played for any other team, this would barely have made the news.

Yep, basically it would be Sandon Smith or Trindall, both barely got mentioned.

Hell JAC has already started his "redemption" story

It's also frankly really expensive to jail people. So there's a counter force at work also - by imposing mandatory minimums, you swell the jail population which costs the government money - at a rough cost of $422 per prisoner per day.

Further, there are also cases where people have mitigating circumstances, or the punishment doesn't really fit - but with no discretion in sentencing, can result in unduly harsh scenarios - like mandatory minimums for theft and a kid steals a pencil because he's from a dirt poor family and needs one for school.

As far as drugs go - https://www.acic.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-03/NWDMP Report 18_1.PDF A lot of people don't realise how prevalent drug use is within our community. If police got very serious and pulled a sudden citywide blitz on many major roads at peak hour on a work day, you'd be dealing with thousands or potentially tens of thousands of detections.

People get really bent out of shape about the weirdest stuff. Society has a drug problem, it's not just Ezra.

Then don’t go claiming you’re being “tough on crime” because it isn‘t “tough” to suspend a sentence or not even give one. My personal favourite is being sentence to the “ rising of the court”. Where the punishment is that the crook literally has to stay in court, unless the judge / magistrate leaves…

As a society we have chosen to limit ourselves to one main deterrent these days and it is jail.

And have forgotten that it isn’t a deterrent when your SRO’s never go there or never for long…

There are always sentencing mitigating circumstances, which is why I am personally a fan of the three strikes and you’re out policy.

Give them the chance, give them the education opportunities and ll the rehabilitation the “experts” can make believe works.

And when all that fails for the third time, in goes the mandatory sentencing provisions.

I was in favour of it because I didn't know how soft the laws were on what he did, I have had a bigger fine for speeding where only me no one else was involved and I was clean.

Same length of license suspension too, for what was probably 3 seconds of throttle at the exact wrong time, but apparently going on the other side of the road and hitting a car with drugs in your system(even if it didn't effect you) is apparently not as bad and I had a valid licence.
