Anyone in Waikanae know anything? Please come forward. Disgusting and gutless!

Its all very well and good wanting to kill the little shit. I mean its very close to where I live and yeah - the children of the love generation aint exactly well behaved at times and it being the school holidays the place is crawling with them. Manys the time I've wanted to beat the crap out of them but it doesnt work. (no I don't know the answer either) Chances are he was sent down here for the hols to stay with nana 'cos mum has to work (if you are lucky).

There is a problem here though. The number one issue is that we need to keep these kids in school 'cos there just are not enough jobs for them and most of them want to be anywhere but school. There simply has to be more jobs for these kids at the entry point to get them working and exposed to a wider variety of adults so they get the rough bits knocked off. However all we create here is poverty and we still sell our jobs off shore to the lowest bidder... Damn stupid.

I think we can safely thank Sue and her bunch of Green crunies for bringing in the anti smacking law. Bring back cane I say. Shit, I got few whips in the good old days, but at least i knew why, and the main thing we had and learned backe then, and incidentally it is something that is lacking now days was respect for others. untill that word finds it self into todays teenage generations vocabulary then there is bugger all else we can do.

Mate - the slide into hell was started way before she came to power.

I think we should save our more inventive punishments for the likes of the group in Timaru. Reading the initial report it could be this 'attack' could be nothing more than stupidity. A group of holiday bored and slightly drunk teens climbing in trees, they don't know manicured from wild, they get told to piss off, give back some cheek and give the guy a nudge as they piss off, NB: they did get out of the trees and piss off when told so did take some notice. The nudge turned out real bad. Look at the posts above and you can imagine why they would be afraid to come forward. Teenagers wouldn't imagine the damage the old guy would suffer, they just bounce back from worse falls and once they found out then they may have been afraid, very afraid, especially the way the media reported it.

That's if this was the high spirited mistake it could have been, if they are repeat offenders then ...

The Schools don't want kids that don't want to be there ... just too much hassle for them.

It's not that at all. Sure, kids get bored in the holidays and cause a bit of trouble. It's nothing new, and it's what kids do. Smoking ciggies in the local park, hooning down the footpath on push bikes, loitering around the local shopping mall and getting smart to the security guards, kicking the soccer soccer balls inside Kmart etc is normal behaviour for bored kids.

Bashing an innocent elderly man is inexcusable. Looking at the damage this old guy suffered, it was more than a gentle push that did the damage.

Hitting kids only serves to make the hitter feel better, there are far better ways to punish a child and make them learn a lesson than smacking.

He was pushed, he tripped off the kerb and fell head first on the road. Damage done was due to falling head first onto road. They did not bash him.

Pushing/shoving whatever. Its still assault.

Oh ffs - if the kids were employed they wouldnt be on holiday.

Hes 87, he fell on the road. 87 year olds break very easily and bleed profusely if he'd had a good bashing he would likely be dead. I'm NOT defending these twats, they deserve everything they get and some but lets not turn this into a lynching ffs.

it is still assault more by fuckwits than thugs, where the consequences were not for seen by the fuckwits. Reading the suggested punishments above I would suggest most are more appropriate for these thugs http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/6763...r-help-ignored

A push or a shove, its the level of violence involved. I note the Herald uses the word hit, do they mean in passing, as they left, or a punch? Again it goes to the level of violence. Initial Stuff report was push. IF it was a punch then perhaps Smokeu should be in charge of punishment, IF there was a narrow exit and the poor old guy was pushed in the rush and lost his balance then it is more but less accidental, personally I suspect it was at least a deliberate push but don't know. Either way I also suspect the punishment will be less than required.
