Grim stuff this.

Dutch youth league football linesman dies after attack

 

A Dutch man has died after being kicked and punched by a group of teenage football players for whom he acted as linesman in a Sunday league match.

 

Richard Nieuwenhuizen collapsed and was taken to hospital hours after he was beaten by three players from Amsterdam club Nieuw Sloten. He died on Monday.

 

He had been officiating for Buitenboys club, in the town of Almere, and one of his own sons had been playing.

 

Three teenagers, aged between 15 and 16, have reportedly been arrested.

 

Buitenboys club chairman Marcel Oost said Mr Nieuwenhuizen, 41, officiated as linesman for the team every week. "He enjoyed doing it. He was a real football man; he was always here," he told national broadcaster NOS.

 

News of his death sparked shock in sporting circles around the Netherlands.

 

The Dutch minister for sports, Edith Schippers, said: "It is absolutely terrible that something like this can happen on a Dutch sports field".

 

Anton Binnenmars ,of the Royal Netherlands Football Association, described it as "too crazy for words that somebody involved in a sporting hobby becomes a victim of this kind of aggression".

 

Nieuw Sloten said it was "deeply shocked" by what had happened, and intended to ban for life the players found to be responsible, had pulled their team from the league and temporarily suspended all its operations as a club.

 

"Violence should not be on the football fields," it said.

30 years in jail should be right.

 

Yes throwing in people jail has stopped murder hasn't it. All killers , rapists , Pedo's ect are all mentally ill and need treatment in mental hospitals. If one is sound of mind and not sick to some degree such thoughts would not occur. Our sick society is blame for most violent crimes and rest I would say are due to malfunctions of the brain.

 

Locking people up in prison never gets to the route of the problem it just papers over the cracks and until we start to look at the bigger picture and improve the standard of care in society we will never be rid of these types of acts.

What about the person who clearly staved your head in with a blunt instrument when you were a toddler?

There's gotta be a way to get to the route of the problem.

 

There is remove the ability to accumulate wealth, this removes control in society and frees people. As free people we start to do things for love on them and because we have to put resources on the table. Automate boring jobs by using technology, (which is happening more and more hence why there is so much unemployment) lets humans be more creative. Setup real caring treatment centers for people who hurt others. Also to note with the removal of money there won't be that question any more can the government afford to do this or that it only be a question of how long will it take and do we have the base resources.

 

We live a poisoned system that worked for many years, but we have out lived it. Money is no more important to us then the mind numbing work we do to earn it. The current system is by definition a anti-economy. Its not effective, its not sustainable.

You're right, prison doesn't work. Hang them. Always someone else to blame.
