it seems more than a little disingenuous to score points against people advocating sensible sentences, by using one of the worst examples of violent crime we've seen for awhile.
No. While terrible this is certainly not one of the worst cases of violent crimes in recent years. Dickerson was much worse. Some of the murders of young children and babies much worse. The recent shooting in Auckland much worse. The killing of father and daughter by the gang member out on "monitored" bail much worse.
