Hard to turn the life support off if it was only his leg. He's basically good but corrupted by an uncaring society. Its our fault. We should get some ACC for psychological trauma

[CookMySock]

WTF that fucks me off. When I wanted a fucken titanium exhaust the fucker was fucken ten grand, so I had to get a fucken cheapo stainless one with an alloy muffler.

So why does he get a fucken titanium one and not a rusty fucken mild steel or a claggy alloy one? Not fair.

chopping off the other leg and giving him a skate board woulda worked out cheaper

[CookMySock]

chopping off the other leg and giving him a skate board woulda worked out cheaperOr a pair of ghey strap on wheels like my mates dog.

[DarkLord]

Honestly. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

He should get sweet fuck all from ACC. He went on a fucking shooting rampage and lost his leg. Who fucking cares?? Let him suffer without one. He shouldn't have gone on a shooting rampage in the first place, then he wouldn't be in this position. I suppose the stupid bastards will file this under a "work place accident".

The most ridiculous thing is that my ACC claim for RSI from my work (just a few bucks here and there for physical therapy) was declined, and it gets approved for this fucker. What an absolute joke. Does ACC have no sense of moral and ethical obligation whatsoever if they are granting stupid claims like this? It would seem so, to my mind.

But its a no fault system Well isn't it minister ?

[DarkLord]

But its a no fault system Well isn't it minister ?

Yeah. A no fault system where you are not allowed to attack a burglar who comes into your house because you have to wait for a police officer to arrive.

A no fault system where a criminal can injure himself breaking into someones house, claim ACC and receive treatment.

Brilliant.

[CookMySock]

But its a no fault system Well isn't it minister ?Well its not his fault the police avoided his torso and shot his fucken leg off. The tough choices the cops have to make on the day. :lol:

It must be funny being a police marksman and blowing some crims' leg off. I wonder if they have video cameras on the rifle.. Tough call alright.. hrm flip coin - leg or arm off today, geez I dunno.

[DarkLord]

An American church minister who pastors a church in Tauranga was giving a sermon about the culture in this country and he believes that we have a culture that is far too soft and tolerant. There is an overly passive focus in this country in a lot of ways and stupid situations like this really reveal that.

ACC needs to grow a pair of balls and tell stupid pricks like this where to go. Admittedly, of course, there are times when grace and understanding is needed but certainly not in situations like this.

Your right! It is the police's fault "Bloody ass holes"

[CookMySock]

Your right! It is the police's fault "Bloody ass holes"Yeah! If we have to pay for his titanium leg, at least they could let us shoot his leg off and get in some of the fun! :killingme

Steve

[gwigs]

Titanium leg ? Nah I,d give the Prick a broom stick and he could make his own leg.:angry2:

[Conquiztador]

I suppose the stupid bastards will file this under a "work place accident".

Nope. This is a bike accident. Remember that the guy that he killed was on a quad... And did he not then take that quad?

[DarkLord]

Oh, my mistake.

Further justification as to why bikers are the scum of the earth in NZ and why we should be charged astronomical ACC levies.

After all, it's all our fault, isn't it?:rolleyes:

[scissorhands]

I wonder why The Harold has run this story today.

Is this supposed to reflect badly on bikers? In a kind of roundabout psychologically ambiguous sort of way?

[XP@]

What is wrong with giving him a crutch and saying there you are mobile again!

What is next, giving him a modified quad to he can tear up and down the fire breaks on, perhaps shooting another couple of people?

If they are going to pay for his f'ing leg then they will be paying for re-hab and continued support! How many more thousands will this cost over the years?

Letter to the minister me thinks...

Are ACC pay 80% of his wage etc ie 80% of what it costs to be in prison??? :scratch:

I know but still.... wouldn't suprise me at all...

[McJim]

If you have a basement and access to tiger worms you CAN deal with a burgler without wasting police time and tax payers money.

I'll bet you were one of those little boys who pulled the wings off insects "just for fun". Or were you the "shoot the neighbours cat with an air rifle" variety?

Perhaps you should get that looked at.

[XRVrider]

This is in the news at the moment, seems he keeps coming back to haunt us all, with prison riots, stabbing an inmate and now a hefty $10.000 titanium leg on ACC.

Check it out: http://msn.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10609246&ref=rss

Seems they are going to change the law on ACC hand outs to to crims though. I wouldnt mind if ACC paid for a noose to string this fucker up. Hmm, how much do we as tax payers, and dare I suggest it, ACC payers of high amounts perhaps, have to keep forking out. Jeez if they did have the death penalty our rego costs could come down. :2guns: Just kidding on the last bit there.

[FJRider]

A $10,000 leg is bugger all use ... if he's spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement ...

[McJim]

I can't understand why they didn't just use a $1 bullet.

[Elysium]

Well I hope this example is used in the Tuesday BIKEOI protest speaches.

[retro asian]

Killer gets $10k new leg on ACC

[EJK]

The fuck??</10char>

[nothingflash]

bullshit huh :angry:

[Footless]

So he gets a leg, but never top of the line titanium, plastic should do that bastard. only because they dont make wooden ones anymore. Crutches only should do him sitting in solitary 23 hours a day!

[been_there]

Since he is solitary wtf does he need 2 legs for anyway...
Just another reason to get rid of mofo's who r never going to fit into society

[mashman]

It's funny, but that's pretty hypocritical... well considering that we're wanting a no blame system??? where do we draw the line?

[ready4whatever]

I'll make him one, it'll cost 5 bucks and consist of a piece of 4x2.

3rd longest sentence in NZ is 26 years? what a joke.

and yeah, shoot him in the head, lets see them try replacing that

[StoneY]

and yeah, shoot him in the head, lets see them try replacing that

Prick already has a wooden head

[SARGE]

and the really fucked up bit is the guy he stabbed gets fixed up as well :bash:

[allycatz]

All those poor kids overseas still crawling round in the dirt after stepping on landmines and good old NZ supplies crims with top of the line artificial legs....pretty sad really

[RevDWC]

Great story to whip up public opinion about how hopeless they are and why they NEED to be privatised as soon as possible. Only way to stop this shameful waste etc etc.
Anyone with half an ounce of brain realises $10K doesn't register given the annual turnover of ACC.
Better this than setting a precident of denying artificial limbs for those who 'deserved' to lose one. Only a couple of easy steps from this to saying anyone who crashes one of those dangerous motorbike thingies doesn't deserve one either.
