4 years for tagger killer

[Winston001]

I think it was a mistake for him to take a knife out, I would have taken a bat ( actually have a pick handle that would do nicely ) and just broken a few of the little shits bones.

I've thought about this. I wouldn't pick up anything to go out and confront taggers. If I felt intimidated by whoever was outside, I'd ring the police, neighbours perhaps as well, shout at them, try to photograph whatever.

If I wasn't worried I'd go out and try to identify them and explain the problem. But I sure as heck wouldn't take a weapon. Its an invitation for trouble - a challenge.

But then I live in a nice middleclass suburb where tagging just doesn't exist. Zilch. So its damned hard to imagine how I would react if I felt beseiged in my own home. Its a recipe for lots of pentup anger.

I won't ever be in his shoes.

If I discover someone destroying my property or attacking my family for the hundredth time, and they attack me intending to kill me, I won't call the police.

They never came the other 99 times.

I'll take the offender fishing.

After all, they are underpriviledged. The dole didn't give mum enough money, and even with free state housing, free medical, free dental, free Plunket, free Kindy, and free schools, they never had a chance. Dad, if they knew him never took them for a walk down the beach, to the footy, camping, or helped them build a hut.

But me, I'll take them fishing. They make good burley.

Yes I wouldnt _call_ them myself, but you never know how much noise they'll make when you hack bits off them.

I dunno about the fishing, mate of mine has a good supply of 40 gallon drums and concretes cheap.

Tagging my property is a challenge, me chasing them with a bloody great machete is my response

I can see it. The words make no sense though.

Another reason to stab him to death.

Well it would take the cops maybe 15mins or so to get to my place and by that time all sorts of shit can happen, the trouble is of course is if you take something out with you you will use it if you feel you have to, if it was noise and/or crap going down on my property I might even take the pump action shotgun out but if it was out by the front gate it would most likely be a bat of some sort. Trouble is if you hear a whole bunch of noise and call the cops and they get there to find it was a dog or possom they will be non too pleased so you kind of feel compelled to go out to see excactly what is making all the kafuffel. Then if you discover it is some shitbags looking for trouble you may find yourself in the line of fire without anything to back you up and you get the crap beaten out of you ( or worse ).
But it is a tricky situation and everyone will react differently, BUT I would not run down the street after someone with a weapon because you are then not on your own property and can not claim you were in fear of your or your famlies life.

.... Trouble is if you hear a whole bunch of noise and call the cops and they get there to find it was a dog or possom they will be non too pleased ...

No, not at all... would rather go to a false alarm than not at all, only to find out it was actually something bigger than one thought...
