Is this the sort of thing that's going to lead to vigilante groups?

Thugs are becoming a real issue. Can you see a time when there's a backlash?

I fucking hope so, because 100 hours community work for some fuckwit who gutlessly attacks an innocent person for no reason is just not sending the message clearly enough.
speak to them in their language, a fuckin good bashing.

The offender was a Maori or Pacific Island male wearing a blue and white striped T-shirt and sunglasses.

He was last seen running towards St Lukes down a cycleway beside the Northwestern Motorway.

Running? I don't fucking think so.

This is the national government getting tough on crime.

In other news revnues from the 4km/h speeding tolerance are up, and more educational posters have been handed out at checkpoints.

Great job!

Way to get tourists to your town.

I can't help but wonder just how much this kinda shit will escalate next year with the RWC too.

Nothing will happen.

The only solution as i've said time and time again is the pit of death. It's the final solution to the 'criminal' question. Ha.

N.Z is so full of left wing sympathisers that nothing will ever be done.

First offense a toe.
Second offense a finger.
Third a hand or foot.
Forth an eye.
All done via a programmed machine.

Lets see if violence would survive in that world.

We should send these thugs to South Africa where they can be put in jail there for 5 years in a cell with 20 black people. Their asses will get raped completely raw every day.

**munster** · 13th November 2010, 22:30

yes, and why not.

Police were set up to Protect & Serve, they were recruited from your local community and were a fair representation of the populace. They upheld the law and the judiciary did their part.

The cynical side of me can't see one part in that last paragraph that's true of today. Essentially, the police are the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, the react to crime, you the victim are there on the spot when it happens. When we continually fail to see Police & / or the Judiciary take reasonable & appropriate steps to protect us, why shouldn't we be allowed to take control?

Just a thought.

Why not save a $ and simply fly them up/down to Porirua.

the program on TV a coule of weeks back where they had about 40 kids in a class. 50% watching and playing educational games on a PC and 50% playing the violent games that a loto of kids spen all day playing nowadays?

After a period of time they were all interviewed. During the interview the interviewer accidently dropped a cup of pencils off the side of the desk. most of the educatiponal game players stopped to help pick up the pencils as a normal reaction. Most of the other group hardly glanced at it.

Upshot is that it proved the violent games made the playes unsensitised to violence.

One of the reasons why we have so many useless f*ucks in the young generation today. Violence appears normal to them and theres a lot of them ouy there.

Do you let your kids play these games for hours on end??

That's bullshit. I've been playing violent PC games since I was 4 years old and the only time I've ever assaulted anyone is self defence when they hit me first. How's that for violence?

Yeah that line is getting a little old. Nine times out of ten, the kids that nut off after playing violent video games are the ones that're fucked in the head to start off with, or with other factors playing part.

I will agree with desensitization to violence, but, that doesn't make kids more likely to commit violent acts, just less likely to cringe when it does come up.
