Name and shame!!!
Name and shame!!!
Name and shame!!!

Name and shame only works on those that have any sense of right or wrong. These cunts have already proved that they have no shame.

Is cunt too strong a word for these cunts in this case?

Not at all. Not even a little bit.

No it is an insult to cunts to elevate the looters to that status

It's terrible for sure guys. However I don't understand how people were surprised and didn't expect this to happen with these 'tough economic times'. It's dog eat dog these days... even in our country.

I know its hard guys. But he is right. We all need to take a step back.

I am not saying they should go unpunished. But I am saying "kill em all" is probably going a bit far. Its no PC - its survival for some. esp. in regards to generators.

Catch them, name and shame them and make sure they never work in this country again. But I know that if I were in their shoes, I would steal whatever I required to survive or whatever I required to help others.

However I would expect to be punished accordingly if I were caught with a generator etc even if it was boiling drinking water for the neighborhood.
But shot dead from grabbing some paracetamol and bandages - that's your own head shoved so far up your own arse you think its a high horse.

We need context before justifiable murder.

Bullshit - you ever tried getting a job with a criminal conviction?

Do you think this guy could have worked at the local school?

Name and shame works fine - it just needs to be reitterated to the point where everyone knows you, and everyone sneers at you.

Then you don't have to kill anyone - they do it for you.

Looting is not burglary. Looting is when you steal stuff that will have no effect on your immediate survival. If you step out of a house carrying someone's jewelry box at 4am, at an address you're never lived at, that's looting. Bang.

Yes and No.
At this point all I am going to say is all I hear is from the press thus far.

Do you trust the press that much to wish someone dead?

[Skyryder]

I'd brand the bastards with a red hot iron. The word LOOTER on both cheeks and forehead comes to mind. That's a life sentance. Same with the SCAMMER'S.

What about seeing a couple of children on the TV, waiting for their mother to be pulled out of rubble, and going and burgling their house?

Survival? I don't think so.
Bang.

BS you don't need a geny to survive, you might need one for your p lab or hydro op. And when you steal one from a Telco you compromise their 111 service and the rescue op comms, why do you think the telco put the geny there in the 1st place.

When I saw this i thought the Police were using the weapons to advantage, imagine my disappointment when I read it was just an arrest in Otaki and not a looter in Christchurch.

Earthquake looting accused in court.

Two men arrested for allegedly stealing emergency power generators in earthquake-struck Christchurch have appeared in court.

The two men - 23-year-old Owen Anthony Jackson, a fisherman and Jed Wilson-Calver, 22, unemployed - were last night arrested after allegedly stealing three $6000 emergency power generators.

The generators, donated by TelstraClear, were being used to power roadside cabinets fed up to 500 landline and broadband customers.

Both were denied bail and remanded in custody to reappear on March 28.

Detective Superintendent Peter Read said the thefts were "disgraceful".

"When everyone's hurting, they don't actually need this extra aggravation from these people.

"It's not only insulting to the Canterbury public of which they're supposed to be a part of, but it is hindering recovery operations and emergency services."

The two skin-headed men waved offensive hand gestures at photographers and court staff and media present in a makeshift courtroom at the Christchurch Police Station.

Police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty said they would rather be focusing on finding the missing and supporting the injured and homeless but police will take a hard line against thefts, looting and profiteering.

Meanwhile, at a media conference Superintendent Dave Cliff tsaid police patrols were being ramped up to stop scammers, burglars and disorderly drunks plaguing the streets of Christchurch.

"Sadly on a general policing front we're still continuing to see disorder. Drunk disorder in particular. We're still arresting burglars. Call police if you're seeing anything."

Many criminals had been crossing police cordons and pretending to be earthquake relief officials, he says.

He asked residents to check the identity of anyone claiming to be an official.
