Two tough Maori men punch 15yo female fruit seller...

[Tank]

I for one doubt it, I don't think they'll really get much of a punishment at all.

Im sure that their punishment will be far less than the $5000 fine you can get for staying on Maori beaches (see other thread).

And people wonder why there is resentment.

[oldrider]

It's great to see that Maori are becoming more responsible in New Zealand.

Well, they are responsible for most of the degenerate activities anyway!

I guess that's a start.

Seriously though, the majority of Maori are great citizens, it's just that Maori cellar dwellers make up the majority of the cellar dweller group! John.

once were warriors.............now just scum

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to jimjim again...

On the flip side, you have these 2 adult male losers, in their mid 20's -- obviously in good enough health to run (away from the cops) -- but they don't have a day job...

I wonder if they might be "employed" by WINZ at the moment?

It is nice to know that NZ is breeding the "warrior mentality". Did they do a nice little haka dance as well?

was she on there beach???....... dumb fucks

*sigh*

and yet again, our "responsible" media only bother reporting ethnicity when it's a bad statistic.

Bad behaviour knows no ethnical boundaries.

Well, sooner or later their ethnicity would come into the reporting.
I remember as a kid getting a hiding from my mum (I was still at primary school) because I used the phrase "the maori lady down the road" simply as a means of describing who I was talking about. Even back then race must have been an issue! (Mum felt terrible about it later but it was a kneejerk reaction to not being seen to 'pick on' maori). If the offenders were maori why not say so? They would just have easily said "two european men" or "two asian men" if that had been the case surely.

Why is it suddenly an ethnic issue just because they weren't white?

That's right. Their nationality was used as a description in the article in case a passerby saw them running away and could help the police with where they went or were last seen. And it would have been reported as a description if it was "2 caucasians" or whatever.
It not racist to report 2 Maori males as being "2 maori males"...
Just like it's not sexist to report that they are males.
It's not anyone else's fault that they happened to be committing a disgraceful, cowardly crime.
It shouldn't prevent the media from reporting their descriptions, for fear of being seen to be antagonising a particular group.

An excellent point.

Their's an overwhelming amount of issues with the race card that people should just get over.

I think the issue does have some foundation, bigots/racist people tend to say "figures" when this sort of thing is highlighted. Regardless of what those people think race tends to mean bugger all, losers will be losers regardless of race or creed.

[nudemetalz]

I reckon this would sort them out if I saw them running away...

Wouldn't be so "tough" then....

[jtzzr]

Real tough cunts alright , I hope Karma bites them on the arse . HARD!!!!

[rachprice]

Yeah unfortunately as much as we like to think what goes around come around, its not always the case.
Poor girl, dam scum....

I do agree with you on that one, but the penalty needs to be done by people in charge, not the public.

Why?

Why shouldn't the victim have a say on what the penaly SHOULD be?

Why shouldn't a jury say what the penalty should be?

Why should a judge (people in charge?) be the only one who decides what happens, when they constantly give out shit penalties...
