If
"...Jamie Williams, in his explanation to police, said that he had seen coverage of the June 7 Auckland robbery in which the shop keeper had been shot dead and thought he would "give it a go," according to the prosecution's summary of facts..."
Then perhaps the certainty of a hanging may have prevented Mr Thinker from doing so.
It's certainly worth a try...
Nothing to lose here...

A close call!
"An elderly Chinese woman who died after being assaulted in her home may have put up a struggle and scratched her attacker, police say.
Detective Inspector Mark Gutry said Yin Ping Yang, 80, had tried to get to the phone before succumbing to the June 9 attack.
"It appears she may have at some stage put up as much of a struggle as she could. Which at her age wasn't much. He [her attacker] may have been scratched or injured in the assault..."
Link:Just as well she didn't have a pistol- she might have hurt the poor misunderstood attacker! We can't have that sort of thing happening in New Zealand!

Tooling up
This bloke has made the classic mistake- going public. If he does deal to some well deserving scumbag, the crown prosecution office will now be all over his arse!
Rule One: Don't tell anyone. You loose much of the deterrent value, but in NZ that's the way to go.
Rule Two: Don't use a restricted weapon like a pistol, petrol bomb, hand grenade or the MP-40 granddad brought back from his North African adventures. Greg Carvell would confirm this!
Rule Three: Use something that has a reason to be there. A cleaver may be OK in a butchery, but probably not in a dairy. Neither would be an axe, crowbar or baseball bat.
Rule Four: Don't modify it. The baseball bat with six-inch nails in the end won't look good in court.
So- let's look at the linked case- you are in a dairy and Mr Scrote wants free cigarettes and all your money. He doesn't have a firearm (the only real defense here is another gun and the training to use it effectively)
What do you have in the store that could conveniently be held to hand? lets see- a pot of pepper- throw that in the face and Mr Scrote is going to be out of the game. You will at this stage be able to escape or damage his self-esteem further- say by hitting him with something large and heavy.
Another overlooked defensive tool is the dry powder fire extinguisher. This will blind him and choke him- plus has the advantage of being able to do so from several meters away. When empty, the cylinder makes a useful bludgeon!
It will also put out fires, so is a useful tool to have at home and in the car, if you take my suggestion...

So?
"Finally, an apology from Lipine Sila for the deaths and carnage he caused along Christchurch's Edgeware Road, and an offer to meet his victims face-to-face as he begins his life sentence..."
SO- should that get him a few years off? NO-he should have got twice that sentence- and some- 17 years for each murder and seven years for each injury. Let's just call that life meaning life. One of the victims certainly thought so!

"...Family members told how much they missed the two girls, Jane Young and Hannah Rossiter, and the court heard how Sila's actions had damaged bodies and broken up families.
Outside the court, Mr Young said the sentence was "woefully inadequate" and he hoped Sila would get over 20 years. "I think it should be life meaning life, but the judicial system is very much biased against law and order..."

What colour is the sky on YOUR planet?
"...in the Porirua case there were gang affiliations with the family and Dr Kiro called on the gang leaders to take an active role in condemning child abuse.
Well spank my ass and call me Charlie! the answer was so bloody simple it totally escaped me!
Ask gang leaders to stop bad behavior- at the same time she could ask them to speak out against crime, selling drugs and being total oxygen-thieves!
Does this taxpayer funded WOFTAM actually ever venture out into the real world?
I think not!

Nowt as strange as folk!
"...A stunned mother, who didn't even know she was pregnant, took her premature new born baby to Buller Hospital in a bucket on Friday night. It is understood the 34-year-old had not realised she was pregnant until she went to the toilet. She arrived at the hospital with the baby and its placenta in a plastic bucket..."
Link:
Why is it I have trouble believing that somebody doesn't know they are pregnant?
OK- so that happens from time to time. We can't all be rocket scientists- or even be vaugely aware that something is different with our internal workings.
But to put the baby in a bucket!!!

The shortest day
Not when its' pouring and the kids are to murder each other!
Solution- a new pair of headphones- ones big enough to totally cover the ears- not these weenie ipod sort of ones that hurt my ears anyway!
Then afterwards, a retreat to my man-cave to tidy the reloading bench and do a stocktake of components.
Time to stock up and load another couple of thousand for the dry season. In the winter I shoot black powder, so I don't have to look for lost cases in the mud. And I don't start fires at this time of year!

SIxteen years is a start
"...On June 25, 1992, Ratima, then aged 25, went on a murderous rampage in Masterton, killing his sister-in-law Nicola Ferguson, Bevan Tepu, their child Stephen, Nicola's brother Phillip Ferguson junior, and his own children Piripi, Barney and Stacey.
He also killed an unborn child, deliberately stabbing the 36-week-old foetus through the abdominal wall of his mother..."
Sixteen years- that's a start.
A start- that's all.
You have a long term to serve yet, you piece of shit!
You shouldn't be even appearing before the parole board for another fifty years.
What you should have had is a long drop on a short rope!

Well!- that's the end of THAT problem then!
"A bill that gets tough with taggers has been passed by Parliament with an overwhelming majority..."
A new law- that should stop the problem!
It's a start, but I wouldn't call it 'Tough'
Tough is a full reparations followed by a day in the stocks in the middle of town, after a sound flogging!- Before starting a shortish prison term at hard labour!
Too tough for some soft-cocks though:
"...The Greens and the Maori Party opposed the bill..."
Property rights are no great priorities for these numpties!

The 'C' word again!
Compulsory!
Here is yet another election year bit of grandstanding:
"...The Government is seeking views on whether third party vehicle insurance should be compulsory..."
Like most of their ideas, this too would prove a rotten fizzer.
Why?
Because many people won't register or warrant their cars- these being compulsory NOW! -what chance they would insure them?
If the 3rd party is built into the rego- they simply won't have either! You don't need a degree in rocket science to figure that one out.
You just have to be smarter than a Lairbour politician or a slime mould...

Slime and punishment
It has been said recently that prison is no deterrent, prison IS a deterrent and others say it is too harsh- while others that it is too soft. Truth is- all of these statements are true.
Prison is no deterrent to the recidivist offender, who merely regards it as a part of life, an inconvenience suffered when caught.
Prison is a deterrent to many- thus they don't wind up going there, so they avoid the behaviors that send you inside. This is a hard one to quantify, for obvious reasons!
Prison is very harsh to a person who has lead an otherwise good life and through circumstances finds them self on the wrong side of the law. They have committed the sort of crime that you could say 'there but for the grace of God, goes I!' I have heard the stories of several like this and they do their time very hard indeed.
Prison is a walk in the park to a lowlife who has lived rough and never made any effort to move up from the bottom. They get fed, clothed, have a warm bed and get free medical attention.
My idea for prison reform are that minor and first time offenders get a short sharp shock- a relatively short sentence in a minimum type security, with hard work and spartan conditions. This is a taste of things to come.
The price goes up for each offense.
After several offenses- depending on the seriousness of the convictions, the courts with rule as to whether the individual is a confirmed recidivist. if they are, it's off to the Gulag with them.
Here they spend the rest of their days earning their potatoes & cabbage sorting the garbage of the country into recyclables.
An important factor in prison reform is that prisons should NOT be used as de facto mental institutions- as they are now. These people need treatment not punishment, although some are too dangerous to ever be allowed out, so its a specialist prison for the mentally insane needed there.
Another fact we must no forget- the role of prison is primarily to KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE. This is done by locking criminals away from the public. Rehabilitation (yeah, right) is a side issue and the guts of the matter is that it is of a 'take a horse to water' nature.

Whats next on the 'Forbidden' list?
Incandescent light bulbs have made the list. Are beer fridges next?
Will all our household appliances need an annual Warrant of Fitness?
Are spa pools going to have the plug pulled?
I bet bitch-features would love to ban blogging!
I reckon aerosol spray cans are next!
Update:
I wasn't far off- now restricted to over 18's!

New protective clothing for police
In conjunction with OSH, ACC, the commissar of police and several hundred consultants- a new uniform is to be issued to front-line police:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Law and Order
Police, Guns and Tasers
"The police volunteer to do some unpleasant work in our community, and I applaud them for that. Yet in order to have our support, they should be prepared to justify their actions," said Peter Linton, Libertarianz Firearms Spokesman, today. "That's why Libertarianz supports Marie Dyhrberg's call for extra detail to be released on the police trial regarding tasers."
"While it is not necessary to release the names of individual officers and participants, it is important for the public to view the raw data collected from these trials to see how the police reached their conclusions," says Linton. "Openness from the police will go some way to repairing their reputation, which has been tarnished lately by some wayward officers."
"We must question however, why the police want the taxpayer to fund yet another form of self-defense when they already have access to batons, pepper-spray, martial arts maneuvers and, when necessary, firearms," Linton says. "If tasers are indeed necessary for police to defend themselves with, then they should also be made available to ordinary New Zealanders for this same purpose."
"After all, a police officer's life is just as valuable as the life of any other decent New Zealander. There should be one law that applies to everyone, not just the police." * (the bold type is my addition-OB)
Further discussion on tasers will screen on TV One's Eye To Eye show, 11-30 am Sunday 8 June, 2008 (now available here:)

The Devil's Advocate
Now much has been said on the cost of fuel. The fact that it is grossly overtaxed is still relevant, as is the speed at which the price rises up- faster than a ballistic missile.However, I cast my mind back some years to 1982- I clearly recall petrol going into my motorcycle at $0.99/litre.
Back then, beer was about $7 swappa crate- cans & stubbies were a rare andexpensive novelty. A decent bottle of wine could be had for under $3-4 and I was on about $14k/year! $20k was the big money!
If petrol had followed at the same rate as drink, it would now be well over $3/litre.
Petrol is still relatively cheap. The problem has been the speed at which the price has risen.
If it has climbed at the same rate as everything else, nobody would bat an eyelid.
And the price hikes have by no means finished!

Quarantine Time
For South Auckland:
How much more evidence do we need that this area- or large parts of it- are out of control.
Its time for to shut this hell-hole down at night and put curfews in place! It needs the treatment that New York got.
Zero tolerance for scumbags.
The area is locked down, with the assistance of the military, if needed. Anyone out after curfew is arrested. Anyone resisting arrest can expect to be tasered, chewed on by a German Shepherd or shot. Mobs will be dispersed with teargas, water cannon and active denial weapons.
And before the hand-wringers start crying 'Ghetto'- it already is...
Update:
Michael Laws writes a good piece on our chickenshit policing.
"...Operation Safer Counties-Manukau was run on Friday and Saturday nights with checkpoints on several major roads, including the southern motorway.
Ms Wells said 13,356 vehicles were stopped and drivers breath tested.
Of those, 274 returned positive results and would face prosecution in the next two weeks.
A further 34 drivers had blood samples taken and were awaiting results..."
"Police want armed patrols on Auckland's streets 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Armed response vehicles" would be manned by firearms specialists and provide a quick response to call-outs like last week's shooting of Manurewa liquor store owner Navtej Singh..."

Yet more PC bollocks
"A large pounamu stone gifted to China from the Christchurch City Council and Ngai Tahu flew first class to its new owner as it was culturally insensitive to put it in the hold.
Ngai Tahu protocol also meant the pounamu had to be accompanied on the journey by two members of the iwi, at a cost to the ratepayer of $2500..."
It's a frickin' ROCK!In any case, how does bloody air travel fit into the whole cultural ballyhoo?
Hey Christchurch!- that's YOUR money they just pissed away on a rock's feelings!

Oh goody- a new law!
Yes, another totally unnecessary law is on the way.
The using of cellphones while driving. Apparently, there have been several crashes caused by people using these fiendish devices.
I have no doubt that this is true. While in many circumstances it is perfectly safe to take a call, we must be governed- yet again- by the bottom denominator.
But, I ask, why the law?- when we already have the charge of careless driving!
It's called 'Grandstanding'
Those addicted to the habit of texting are as likely to give it up as a teenage boy is to swear off wanking!

Savings- from what?
There seems to be a perception that we all drive about to amuse ourselves, while the lights and heaters burn in our empty homes.
News flash- most of us have been well aware of energy usage and cost long before the greens crawled out from under their rock.
Not wasting was programmed into me from day one- power, food or anything that cost money. This has been the reality for most of us. We don't need millions of our dollars spent telling us to turn off the lights when leaving a room!
It's the same with using the car. A hell of a lot of folk only use it when they actually need to. I don't know anyone who just sits in it with the engine running, to enjoy the air conditioning!
The slack was taken up when fuel crossed the $1/liter mark- if not before.
So- where do the savings come from? To many the cost isn't an issue and they will use whatever they please. Good on them!
Others like myself already have that Scots trait of not wasting anything (allowing more money for real essentials, such as Whiskey!)
Well- that leaves it to the hand-wringers will must don the hair shirt and shiver for mother earth. Lefties and tree-huggers- turn off your computers for me!
For good!

Let's light up!
Having fiddled while our generation capacity failed to keep up with demand- courtesy of the RMA and in the name of greenie appeasement- our masters want us to use less electricity.I SAY- turn on the drier, the air conditioner and all the thermostats, then take a long, hot shower. Cook roasts and burn toast. Get the old electric heaters out of the garage and plug them in. Lets push the electricity network beyond it's capacity!
I'M SURE you are all resilient enough to survive a few power outages and that the minor inconveniences will be worth the embarrassment caused just before the upcoming election.
The polls may look good, but there is nothing wrong in wanting a better margin...

"Greytown residents watched in disbelief yesterday as they were handed free bags containing literature, apple juice, moisturiser, energy saving light bulbs and dishwashing liquid. The bags, which are made from recycled billboards, were distributed as the first part of the Greater Wellington Regional Council Greentown initiative, touted as a "month of sustainable living" for the town....

"Police are hunting two men who left a Auckland liquor store owner in a critical condition in hospital after he was shot during a robbery.
Police said the armed men entered the store in Manukau last night and shot the owner before taking money and alcohol and then fleeing.
One of the offenders is described as Maori and dressed in predominantly black clothing..."
Police have narrowed the search down to one of 47,893 suspects.But you can't have any possible reason for owning one of those nasty Tasers or a can of Mace now- much less an actual firearm. That might mean you are thinking of defending yourself and we can't have that.
What if other people started thinking that they could fend for themselves! Outrageous!Better a hundred citizens killed than one alleged robber!

Three out of four junior doctors are still working in New Zealand five years after graduating, a Dominion Post investigation has found.

When the pendulum swings
I have been following a lot of the insanity coming from the UK. That is indeed a country that is in a downward spiral. The police ignore serious crime, while persecuting people for such heinous acts as having a English flag in the pack of your car! Firearms are banned- for the law-abiding- the rest have no difficulty finding them. Thousands are on the dole, yet hardworking Poles have no problem with finding employment.
Freedom of speech is in such a poor state- indeed- all personal freedoms, I really wonder if they would have been better off siding with Hitler before WW2!
But the Brits have a thing for bouncing back when all seems hopeless- one day the pendulum will indeed swing for England. It won't be pretty when it does...

Get a friggin' grip!
"A Wellington community police constable has come under fire for making graffiti offenders wear a pink vest while painting over their tags.
Constable Theo Gommans said the vests, emblazoned with the word "tagger", would make the offenders think about the consequences of their actions.
He had already seen a reduction in tagging offences since he began touring schools with the pink vest, he told Radio New Zealand.
However, Wellington City Councillor Iona Pannett wants the pink vests banned.
She likened them to techniques used in Nazi Germany, where pink triangle badges were used to identify homosexuals in concentration camps."
What colour is the friggin' sky on YOUR planet? ANYONE working outside has to wear dayglo now. Take a look around you. I would prefer 'Tagger' to be branded on their foreheads!
This policeman deserves an award and promotion!
The councillor WOFTAM needs a size 12 up the arse. Her reality check just bounced...

The door swings both ways
Hoodie day- what a load of crap AT OUR EXPENSE.Of course all the usuals where whining about how us nasty right-wing types where being all judgmental about 'the kidz'- because we don't like little arseholes- whatever they wear.
