Three cops shot - 1 dead (Napier, 7 May)

borrow the v truck and run the cunt and the house over

While it clearly sucks that the rozzers are being shot at/killed by the scumbags, there is something that will be ignored by media, politicians and ... well ... everybody.

This policeman was in the process of doing a cannabis bust. He did not die protecting our sorry arses from the nasty nasty people, he died because our conservative society has not yet grown up about drugs. He died for politics, and he died for the kind of politics that wears a sensible sweater and drives a mondeo.

Is that not the most immeasurably pathetic thing you've ever heard?

These people aren't your garden variety weed smokers, smoking and dealing it is only the surface of the problem.

Its dark now and the AOS have night vision goggles, the ball would be in their court (taking that he is still inside) The Police murderer would not have had radio throughout the day, guess he wont live to see tomorrow.?

As Maha pointed out, the cover of darkness is on the AOS's side.
The gunman is fucked.

Hes an ex soldier. Night may be on his side...

Looking at TV news they evacuated the surrounding neighbourhood. Stupid question time but is it not possible to shut down the total area remotely?

They couldn't get everyone out.. dunno if "everyone" is out yet....

Talking about the "unarmed" issue, did I hear the brother say something about "it was probably the way they approached him" in regard to the shootings. Bloody hell, so unarmed cops "approached" this guy in a way he took offence at so he shot them?????

Unarmed, experienced, older, calmer sorts....

It was their fault.... It begins...... He is a nice man, who loves kittens....

Shotgun. Power pole. Power cable from pole to house. Bang. Sorted.

But would a lack of elictrickery really incommode the killer? After all there was a time when many houses had none (I was born in one, for a start). It is hardly an essential of existence, and I doubt the killer intends to watch much television.

Being an ex soldier, he probably found it was like that out in the field too...

I think you raise an interesting point here. So far as I know the Police dress and arm themselves appropriately depending upon the severity and considered risk of the call.

The TV news stated that the Police didn't believe this call warrented anything more thas two unarmed officers. It turns out that the guy they were vising was an ex-soldier with a collection of weapons. Surely they should have had access to such critical information prior to the visit.

Someone didn't do their homework with tragic consequenses.

We do search warrants all the time without worry, we check for firearms licence info but shit, we are always finding firearms at address's where nobody has a firearms licence.

Doing 'HOMEWORK' won't tell you jack-shit about the true situation a lot of the time.

Beat me to it Scummy. Wot e sed, yellowdog....

And you know this .... how...?????

He isn't a nasty nasty person????????????????????????????????????????

[tri boy]

Even if the guy is tweaking outta his skull, exhaustion will beat him.
Old father time will take his toll. Maybe a land shark might get an extra feed tonight, here's hoping.

So jan molenaar was just a petty stoner but he thought it necessary to protect his stash with multiple firearms, exploisives, and that shooting a number of people who were just doing their job was OK?

Can't agree - just another needless death caused by some arsehole who can't leave it alone. I'm no saint, I probably did all sorts a crazy shit when I was young, pot was the half of it but shoot a cop, shoot anyone???

He died because someone pulled a trigger trying to protect their 'stash'... Isn't that the most pathetic thing? I guess society will 'grow up' about drugs when it grows up about violence?

[JimO]

the guy was probably going to blow soon any way it could have been anybody fronting up to his house that copped it, condolences to the police but i feel sorry for his mother as well, she now has to live the rest of her life with this on her concience through no fault of her own

[RantyDave]

These people aren't your garden variety weed smokers.

Exactly. They are criminals. Proper, armed criminals willing to shoot at the police. Why do we give them this billion dollar a year business? All they have to do, to make shitloads of money, is grow some plants. Would it not be better to make their lives, y'know, difficult?

Legalise the fucking stuff. There'll be hydroponics gear in Mitre 10 by the end of the day. They'll be screwed.

I see his mum has apologised. Poor old dear, imagine that - apologising to the nation for the actions of the child you raised. I hate the way things like this bring down so many lives at once.

Dave

[PrincessBandit]

Believe everything you see on the news do you

Nah, just believe everything we read on kb

[MadDuck]

I felt sorry for her to be put on the spot by the media with a kick arse big camera in her face.....but it is not up to her to apologise! She didnt pull the trigger. Her son is an adult. He makes his own decisions.

Ya fucken cretin, - you're trying to tell us your average or garden variety of stoner is a laid-back peacefull type that doesn't wield semi-auto rifles eh? - only this one did??

Tuis moment...

Cannabis is so peaceful dude, no violence, ever..pffft..


Just wait until I'm sober.....

Dave

I do agree with you...

[6ft5]

My thoughts go out to all victims involved.

I would like to say that at least the skum will be taken off the streets but then what? Sent to a prison to hang with his mates, 3 meals a day, all at the cost of you and I the tax payers.
I would like to know what this waste of life loser has ever contributed to soiciaty, my guess nothing but buying smokes and drink whilst on the dole and growing weed in his closet.

Its a never ending battle.
How can we beat skum when they have nothing to lose?

I say Eye for an eye

Waste the motherf@ckers

Double that, I am all for it, bastards...
