ACC increases are needed...

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?

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...

Brilliant.

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.

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/ar...609246&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.

Just kidding on the last bit there.

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

**McJim** · 14th November 2009, 09:50

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

**Elysium** · 14th November 2009, 10:18

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

Killer gets $10k new leg on ACC

The fuck??

**nothingflash** · 14th November 2009, 15:00

bullshit huh

**Footless** · 14th November 2009, 15:07

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!
