The boycott that lied...

[Oblivion]

Please point us in the direction of such evidence...?

If has already been reported that Macsyna King had previously approached the Women's Rags in an attempt to sell her story?

The book has been promoted as providing new information about the probable cause of the deaths. Perhaps Macsyna King should be along at the inquest instead, giving that information there?

The "sale" of the information to the public is distasteful, regardless of the supposed motives.

The Womens rag pays good $$$ for good quality stories. Its no wonder that she approached them. If she wants to make money from this, then she doesn't deserve to have her story said.

Where has it been shown that she will make money from it?...

I ask yet again - where has it been shown that she won't?

My first problem though comes from a bit of misinformation spreading across Facebook like melted butter – that Macsyna King is being paid from this book. She is not - she will not gain financially from its publication at all. Ian Wishart has said that some proportion of book sales will go to charity. http://www.3news.co.nz/Boycotting-Ma...2/Default.aspx

It has been said many a time, it was said by one anonymous person that she would be making money and the tools in masses follow

My understanding is that this case was about the cowardly murder of two innocent babies and skillful lawyers doing what they do best.

I wouldn't buy the book on the grounds I do not want to hear 'Wasn't me' stories and because I believe it to be in really bad taste.

I do not object to others being curious and wanting to read one side of the circumstances leading to the murders.

As for the original post: It's not NZ, it's the entire Western World. Generally speaking our societies need villains and Heros to feed our insatiatable lusts. If we have none to love or hate, we manufacture them. Many have sports teams to support and satisfy this lust, which has largely replaced the need for and has become their replacement religion. Worshiping or hating a team, villain, or hero can be translated into carrying out one's reliious dutuies.

Moronic, but unfortunately seems to be the way of our Western culture.
(I'm not saying that other cultures are better)

so fucking what?

the fucker had to co operate surely? (otherwise billing it as "the untold story" or whatever it is is pointless).

I think that all of the hatred, bile, spite, and bitterness directed toward Wishart, and this King woman is entirely justified.

the fucker knows who killed her kids. If not her, then who? one of the other rocket scientists in the house. Why, five years on, has no one been convicted.

My personal view is that everyone who was in the house should have been charged as a party to the offence, and they all get a bullet in the head. Bada boom, bada bing, no more problem.

Fucking liberals can lick my balls.

Blind, ignorant hate is the only thing I have left. Also assumptions. I like those. Sweeping generalisations are good too.

oh blahdeblahblah. what a lot of shit.

in this case, I put it to you that these fuckers are what make blind hate, assumptions and generalisations (about the underclass, about Maori, about who killed these children) reasonable. Yes I said it. You all thought it.

How much has this cost in a blind random estimate?

And she has named who that person is, and she has most likely told the police as well, but you cannot charge based on hearsay, and maybe no one has been convicted because of a lack of a solid piece of evidence linking that person directly to the murder.

Yes there should have been other ways of punishing them and sorting out this mess than just letting them all free, but unfortunately at the end of the day we can't change that unless we begin hiring hitmen.

I call bullshit. King's motives and intentions have already been confirmed by her approaches to the Slag Mags.

A bit of creative accounting will ensure that only her "expenses" will be covered - as you've already suggested.

[Katman]

From what i can piece together from things i have read, there will be money going to charity, and then there will be money going into recuperating the losses from publishing the book, it isn't cheap to publish a book these days. Apart from that, you have people that have slaved for over 7 months in researching, writing and publishing a book, with their own money.

And of course your Dad's doing it for love, isn't he?

Face it - he's looking to profit from some slag's story.

What a parasite.

Couldn't agree more, you are right all those fuckheads in that house know who killed the babies and none of them would tell who did it. They are the worst of the worst and don't deserve to live. The fact that the mother who knows who killed her kids is now writing a book about it is just fucken unbelievable. If I was in charge of any charity that was offered proceeds from the book I would kick whoever offered it in the balls. I think ian Wishart has made a bad choice, maybe we should boycott all his future books. Promoting the book by saying he has new information about who killed the twins is fucken obscene, and is not that far removed from those other scumbags.
