Though I smelt a rodent

"A man has been found not guilty of pointing a loaded gun at an 8-year-old and shooting the computer he refused to get off.

Geoffrey John Buckley, 35, has been cleared of two charges of recklessly discharging a firearm and a charge of recklessly firing an airgun in front of his partner and her children between February 2007 and August 2008..."

Who would have thought? Fancy a women making up a bullshit story to get what she wanted.

Trouble is, so many of these accusations stick and even when the courts throw the charges out- shit sticks.

IN these cases, even though the accuser has obviously lied in court- there are no real consequences...

Another gutsy kid

"A Melbourne boy acted bravely and protectively when he shot and killed a man who was beating his mother, a coroner says.

The boy picked up a gun that Ayhan Paul Ferman dropped as he threw the boy's mother through a sliding door, and fired a shot into Mr Ferman's chest.

State Coroner Ian Gray said the 12-year-old, who cannot be named, was defending his mother and commended his actions..."

"...The woman was considering giving up work as she would have enough money to live comfortably."

I might give up work, I haven’t decided yet. But whatever happens, I won’t let this win change me. It will just be lovely to not have to worry about money and to spend more time with my family...” (Bold mine)

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8778128/Dream-house-car-and-travel-for-winner

Such people give me the shits. 

Why the hell would you want to work? Most of us DON'T but have to.

You get the best part of 10 megabucks and DON"T KNOW if you want to work or not! Are these people so devoid of imagination that they have never had a Lotto win fantasy?

The incredible satisfaction in telling my employers to stick their job where the sun don't shine is right up there...

Taking care of business

"The man shot dead by police on a New Plymouth golf course yesterday was friends with Steven Wallace, also shot and killed by police in Taranaki in 2000.

Adam Te Rata Charles Morehu, 33, had fired a shot and threatened to kill police officers responding to a burglar alarm at the New Plymouth Golf Club early yesterday. Police returned fire, hitting Morehu, who died at the scene.

In 2002 Morehu told reporter Tony Wall that his mate Wallace should not have gone on his window-smashing rampage before he was shot in Waitara. And in a bizarre echo of the 2000 tragedy, it appears Morehu smashed windows at the golf course during yesterday's incident.

"But the pig shouldn't have shot him, he went too far. He could have just put a cap [bullet] in his leg or something," Morehu told Wall in 2002..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8773605/Chilling-echoes-in-shooting-by-police

No doubt the local scumbags will be crying that they didn't need to kill this POS. Good to see him get what his shitbird mate got- a fatal dose of Glock poisoning.

Obviously didn't learn anything from the past...

What colour is the sky on YOUR planet?

"A P-addict, whose 3-year-old son was found with methamphetamine in his hair, has had her conviction for wilful neglect overturned by the Court of Appeal.

The court ruled that the woman, who has name suppression, did not knowingly put her son in harm's way because she would take him into a separate room whenever she smoked P.

The woman also did not fully understand the potential harm that methamphetamine smoke could have on a child, the court found..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8770130/P-addicts-child-neglect-conviction-overturned

I can't believe these judges.

The fact that the 'mother' (I use the term very loosely) was a meth head should have been grounds for neglect on their own. At the very least.

I would like to see the position of judge become an elected position...

Good show!

"A 10-year-old boy in the US has foiled a robbery after picking up a gun dropped by one of two intruders and shooting at them, helping to chase away the pair away.

Two men in deressed as delivery men knocked on the door to the Brooklyn house, and two teenage sisters opened the door, New York police said.

In surveillance video, one man is seen carrying an open cardboard box and pushing his way into the home; a second man quickly follows.

The intruders went upstairs to the second floor. A woman, the owner of the home, then slammed a bedroom door on one of the men's arms..."

Well done!

No doubt the hand-wringers will be appalled and try to say he endangered himself further. But with the crazies out there, you are better to have a go than to be passive and wind up subjected to any number of atrocities.

Not that you hear much about that in the news- especially when its the black on white type of crimes that there is an epidemic of.

Not a waka. If it was, they would all be crab-tuckker!

Also- trying to sail into Wellington harbor in  a storm forecast days ago. Not clever...

Camping time

Time for a few year under canvas for this lot:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8748357/Rioting-Spring-Hill-prisoners-to-face-charges

Waiouru or perhaps Tekapo?

Hell, I had to live under canvas there  and had not been convicted of anything.

A bit of hard labour should keep them warm...

Grow a pair

"A father-son bonding session planned by a North Island primary school was cancelled after a single mother demanded to be included.

Two "Band of Brothers" seminars were arranged by Matakana School to help fathers get more involved in their sons' lives, and as a forum for dads to share their issues. One session was for dads and another was for fathers and sons.

A solo mum wanted to attend but was told she couldn't because her presence would inhibit discussion. She was told a mother and son seminar was planned for later in the year...."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/8746739/Solo-mum-blocks-male-bonding-session

So she is a silly self-centred twit and it's not hard to see why she is single.

However, the school should have grown a pair and told her (nicely,and it could be done nicely) to sod off.

Canceling was as pathetic as demolishing the school playground because a kid in a wheelchair couldn't use it.

The feminazis whine about men not doing enough- stand the hell back and and let men do it their way- they will step up!

Negotiate be damned

"Corrections are moving inmates not participating in the riot at Spring Hill to other parts of the prison, saying fires set by prisoners are endangering lives.

Plans were made for relocating the compliant prisoners within the two cell blocks affected by rioting to another part of the prison, Corrections said earlier this evening.

Two vans of prison guards arrived, and sixteen fire engines were sent to combat the flames after prisoners lit fires and caused extensive damage to their cell blocks. The Westpac rescue chopper from Hamilton also landed in the prison.

Police with dogs are also at the prison.

Corrections said 27 inmates at Spring Hill Corrections Facility near Meremere were involved in the incident, which remained "fluid" this evening.

Corrections told Fairfax negotiators had been called in to help resolve the situation.."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8746041/Riot-at-Waikato-prison

This has been going on all day. Unacceptable.

Assemble the troops.

Issue an ultimatum to cease and desist immediately and get face down in the dirt, arms and legs spread wide.

Shoot those not complying.

THAT is how you end a friggin' riot.

Another idea. A cheaper one.

"A $170 million project to replace 700 earthquake-damaged Housing New Zealand homes in Christchurch has been launched.

Housing Minister Nick Smith said today that the 700 New Builds programme was the "biggest government house building programme in Christchurch's history"...

http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/your-property/8741081/700-new-state-homes-for-Chch

I have a better idea:

Don't like it?

Get off the public tit!

So what?- it's true

The hand-wringers are whining like a busload of Pommy tourists over this one!

The cartoonist would be right on the money, but has sinned the unforgivable sin of using brown ink! Shock! Horror! Persecuting the 'special folk'!

This will not do! A Sportsperson (the other 'Special' group) has said so!

Cartoonist should stick to mocking White, Christian middle-class people. And non left-wing smokers/drinkers- preferably men.

More on feeding the unwashed

Exactly how many kids turn up at school having not eaten breakfast because they couldn't be arsed making it themselves, as they are meant to?

I'm betting a very large percentage of the 'poor, staving kiddies' are simply too friggin' lazy to make their own breakfast.

It's not that the food ain't there.

More labor than labor

"Thousands of pupils will be given free milk and Weet-Bix from next year, in a five-year breakfast programme involving the Government and private firms..."

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/8724642/Govt-rolls-out-expanded-food-in-schools

The rights and wrongs of this aside- here is another case of the Nats doing the stuff that labor only whined about needing doing.

Hell, they are DELIVERING socialism, instead of talking about it!

It would be funny if it wasn't at my expense.

What next?

Of course if they have to get breakfast provided, you can be sure the poor kiddiewinks have no lunch and they MUST have lunch to learn. (see where this is going)

I predict it will be the mythical 'Free Lunch'. 

As for the generosity of the corporates- you can be sure they spread the cost onto each packet of weeetbix and carton of milk that us mugs buy. Just a few cents 'for the poor starving children'...

Oh no- not again.

If shopping is right down at the bottom of the list when it comes to things I enjoy, looking for a house would be at the far end of the types of shopping that are forced upon one.

It would be somewhat more bearable if folks picked a price, STATED IT, and stuck to it. But no, in a culture where haggling is not normally part of life, all the rules change when its houses. Even though the inevitable fact is that the house sells for within 5% of the list price.

Then there are the delusional types who cannot understand that the market is down and their tatty old box just is not worth what they think it is, as evidenced by the fact that it has been on the listings for a year or so. FFS- study your market and see what the houses in your area actually sell for. It will NEVER be what you THINK they SHOULD sell for.

I'm starting to see the attraction of renting...

PHD (post hole digger)

I'm sure the chap that does these works at the same places I have...

Scum of the earth

"A SERVING British soldier was hacked to death in south east London metres away from his barracks by two machete-wielding men ranting “we swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you”.
In extraordinary broad daylight scenes in Woolwich, the men allegedly tried to hack the man’s head off and have their own crime filmed then waited 20 minutes for police to turn up before charging at them with meat cleavers, knives and a hand gun.
Both men, shouting Allah Akbar or God is great in Arabic, were shot by police snipers, including a female officer, and were this morning (AEST) in hospital under guard in a serious but stable condition.
…”We have suffered these attacks before, we have always beaten them back,” Mr Cameron said. “We will not be cowed, we will never buckle.”…’ (bold mine.)
Daily Mail

What is this 'WE' shit?
YOU have a protection detail armed to the teeth. Everybody else is denied any real means of defending themselves. By the politician hypocrite filth that have disarmed the commonality, in the name of 'public safety'.

Doesn't look all that friggin' safe out there.

Today it was just dumb luck they stopped at one murder. Next time and there WILL be a next time- there will be more killed and maimed.

And teach your friggin' snipers where the head is.

UPDATE:
As usual, the media have got it all wrong. Pistol shots on running targets and the shooters have done well. ('Two in the head makes him dead' is not part of the police training, unfortunately)

'Soft' drug decriminalization

I support the decriminalization of 'soft' drugs, as I feel the greatest harm is from associating with those that sell them.

But with rights (to toke) must come responsibilities:

Minors may not use these drugs.
Employers are still free to insist upon employees being free from drugs.
You may not receive a benefit if you test positive for dope (see above)
You can grow your own, but may not sell, trade or raffle- just like with homemade spirits. In fact, you MUST grow your own.
A landlord may refuse permission to grow or use dope on their property and doing so, or consuming constitutes grounds for eviction.

Also, those selling illicit drugs shall receive life imprisonment, or the death penalty for supplying to a minor.

More on conspiracy theories and the big lie

Remember Y2K and how the world was going to scream to a halt?

Didn't happen and I doubt that it would have caused more than a few minor hiccups. IT companies did very well out of it, though,

Various pandemics that failed eventuate. This is an ongoing one.

Man-made global warming, AKA climate change when that didn't pan out.

Running out of oil by 2000AD- an old one but somehow this too was wrong.

The world would be destroyed by AIDS- another old one that was also a fizzier.

Spot any trends here?

All of these made various groups a lot of money. And showed other snake-oil salesman that P.T. Barnum was right- there is a sucker born every minute...
