Yeah I know it has been, but within 2 or 3 days of the poor bloke being killed there has been the rock thrown from the bus in Mt Roskill now this. Worse thats happened to me is being spat on from someone on an overbridge when on the bike (managed to swerve and miss), but you would think that this sort of shit would stop. Oops silly me have my logical hat on again, forget what I said.

Correct..... cowards one and all

a well placed shot to the knee cap could rectify the whole concept of this crap. People just will tend to continue to commit crimes when the justice system hands out lame sentances.

Little shits, the cops need to monitor the bridges...or sum vigilantes...and when the pricks go to throw things off, either arrest them, or give them a chronic beating to.

The same thing happened in Mt Roskill 2 nights ago. A rock through a side window knocked a passenger unconscious.
The cops can't/won't patrol the prime danger spots, time for citizen patrols?

What the hell is wrong with these people??? A man is DEAD for fucks sake! The kid that did it has been charged with MURDER, yet despite this these little morons appear to be thinking "Oarsum! i is gonna try dat! Betr dan muh stAtion!"

I just don't get it. Have they no concept of cause and effect? Don't they understand that the guy that died can't just hit "Play Again" and carry on?

They better hope that no vigilante types catch them doing it, or it won't be rocks that are getting thrown off the bridge...

Agree with all written above... public floggings sound like a mighty-fine idea to me.

With regards the Police, something we as citizens need to realise is that the Police are NOT there to prevent harm being done to people. Unlike America our Police don't operate under the "protect and serve" guideline. They are there to clean up the mess and catch the perpetrators AFTER the event.

Don't get me wrong, this is not some anti-Police stance on my part... it's just how things are.

To that end, two things need to be addressed in this country:

Greater citizens arrest powers for ordinary people

Re-writing of the laws relating to self defence.

IMO... of course

Yeah it's not a copy cat type thing... When Sam and I attended that Ride RIGHT Ride SAFE course over a month ago, on the way back on Upper Harbor Drive (18) just before the Upper Harbor Bridge (where they are building the second bridge) there were 2 people up on the hill bit throwing what looked like fruit at the cars and us driving past... I noticed two cars ahead of me braking for no apparant reason, and I thought "bloody cagers". But when I got to about the same point something went flying past me and Sam said she had the same thing...

thank god they couldn't aim very well...
