This just demonstrates the imbalance of our justice system. All the focus and talk so far has been on the guy who shot the scum bag. While I agree there has to be an investigation, this just reeks of bleeding heart bullshit.

Grow some balls NZ. The scary thing is a trial by jury for manslaughter. A friend of a friend owned a small lift service company. He signed a couple of contracts with big customers. Both screwed him over. He appointed a liquidator to wind up the company and all was going well. He got a personal contract in Aus so went over there. While he was there the liquidator had cut off the phones. An old customer (not under contract) tried to call but obviously couldn't get through. They found a card in the life shaft for an electrician that was contracted to this guys company. They rang him and pressured him to come and have a look. He did and was subsequently crushed by the lift and died. This guy was charged with manslaughter. The first trial was a miss-trial as there was this maori guy on the jury who was racist. Everybody else wanted a not guilty verdict. The next trial found him guilty. He lost his business, his wife and his house. Basically everything. He is now sick.

Good one NZ. it certainly doesn't pay to be a hard working, white male in this country.

Most jurors don't work, the are made up of the layabouts and beneficiaries that can easily be gathered.
They don't interrupt the few workers who are supporting them with taxation, god forbid that!

All this will do is give more ammo for the anti-gun lobbyist, God I hate those pircks

"Drop de gun, fat boy!"

He did. The gun was in his hand, the bullet was in the bad guy.
