Should West Australians adopt 'Castle Law' to prevent criminals from stealing their cars?
Yes.
This is awful, a travesty.
The carjacker should have been shot dead before they could even get behind the wheel of the first car they stole, let alone the second.
Think I'm being heartless? This particular cautionary tale injured and COULD have killed another innocent road user because our 'compassionate' laws disarmed his victims and ensured he got behind the wheel 'safely'.
He drove wildly down the wrong side of the road, crashed, got into another car when the driver got out (presumably to help with the crash) and drove wildly again, having a head on with such force that he was thrown clean out of the car and died. So at least theres a happy ending but he was permitted to endanger FAR more people than he should have had the opportunity to do.
Ending criminals mid-crime is infinitely more compassionate than allowing their crime spree to continue will ever be.
