Yep saw her blathering on about how chases had only become an issue in the past few years because of the boyracer laws.
Clearly this guy and his mates in another stolen car were only running so they didn't get their cars impounded....If you look at all the fatalities in 2010 almost all of them were criminals who were running because they were either disqualified, drunk, in a stolen car, had warrants to arrest or had just comitted a crime.
Another interesting thing is that over the past decade as chase criteria and control have been drastically tightened, and rules to abandon become far more strict and rigid, pursuits have actually increased by some 300%. More restrictions can encourage more people to run because they have a higher chance of escaping and the worst part about it is that they then try and hit whatever criteria they think will force the chase to be abandoned.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
If someone steals a car then crashes it, killing themself then I have no sympathy at all for that person.
I do however feel sorry for the family of the deceased.
Your sympathy for the parents is exactly why we as a society seem to almost condone this.
If the parents were ostracised, the boy was only 15 and made to pay emotionally if not financially then perhaps we could all move forward as a society that takes personal responsibility rather tan blaming society or the government for our moral decay.
Don't judge me based upon your ignorance.
I have more sympathy for the people that own the stolen car than the parents.
Especially these parents that are already looking to blame the police rather than the person that committed the crime and crashed the car. I guess that would mean they would have to take some responsibility as well, can't have that now can we.
As harsh as it seems I often feel like this is the best possible runner outcome. I just wish others would see this in the news and not repeat the same thing themselves.
Its always someone elses fault. The parents will blame the police for the death of their son before they ever admit that they're just bad parents.
Did they even know what he was up to that night? He was fucking 15 years old for christs sake! He probably told them he was having a pyjama party at his mates house.
Im just thankful that no innocent by-stander was hurt or killed.
FFS open your bloody eyes man, socialists (most of NZ) believe that children belong to the State and as a consequence the State has gradually usurped parents rights of control over their children!
Social engineering (Legislative tinkering) by successive (mainly socialist) MMP governments has set the ground rules for the situation we find ourselves in right now!
PC fuckwits blaming the police for interfering with these dumb undisciplined kiddies rights while they steal some poor hard working bastards car!
Now you want to hold the parents accountable for the result!
Parents are like boxers being sent into the ring with their hands tied behind their backs and then being held accountable for not winning!
National has done nothing to change this and their current term is almost up, so who "is" going to turn it around in the future!
So far it looks like it is only going to get worse before it gets better!![]()
The government really should start cracking down on crime a lot harder, especially on young offenders. I have serious doubts that the offender in this case was a good Christian™ boy who made a once off, silly mistake. It is more than likely that he had commited prior serious offences, and if the government had done something about his offending earlier, then this crash may not have happened. It is pure luck alone that no one else was killed in this event.
My neighbours house got broken into and the offenders were caught. The stolen property was found in their possession, their fingerprints were all over the house and they even admitted to burgling the house. Since the offenders were only 14, nothing was done about it. Is this really the message we should be sending out to the youth of this country?
Its only one persons fault that one person is now dead as a result of that car chase.
And that person is dead.
Its his fault....fuck em'
Tbh mate, chances are his parents wouldn't even know which party was in power, let alone know of or give a crap about any laws limiting parental rights.
The kid deserves sympathy, chances are he didn't have much of a shot in life, the family that created and failed him, don't.
