‘Great irony’ of legal system is arrests aren’t based on intention | Sky News Australia

Sky News host Alan Jones says “one of the great ironies” of the legal system is that people can’t be arrested based on their intention.

Mr Jones said “much will be said” about the man who is allegedly responsible for a stabbing attack in Sydney on Tuesday and his history of mental illness and weapons charges. “But as the police rightly say, and to be fair to the courts, the history of his previous behaviour bears no relationship to the horrific episodes of yesterday,” he said. The broadcaster said the incident can be “simply summed up by saying, this is the world of today”.

AlanJones Yes and that man is the magistrate who released him.

AlanJones Oh I see avoid discussing mental health. Policing court process. Presumption of innocence and fair trial. policing halts continuation of a dynamic situation that causes society harm. Unless you wish a police state without rule of law?

AlanJones Liberal party gave him bail
