The boycott that lied...

[The Singing Chef]

We're not judging the book by its cover but by its subject mater - a cowardly woman from a cowardly family who have been allowed to pervert the course of justice without punishment, for reasons that are utterly, transparently, pathetic.

No one wants to hear Macsyna King's story. It wouldn't matter who wrote it, it would get the same reception.

This isn't a free speech issue. What is being expressed is an aversion to repulsive subject matter that will ultimately do nothing to serve Justice or "The Public Interest".

There is no hope of this book "saving" other infants from being beaten to death.

This is simply profiteering from the death of two babies. It's sad to see Mr Wishart sink this low.

But he isn't profiteering off it, and this is a story from the woman who was never have believed by the police as to doing it, they had no interest in her. The guy who was charged for it got off only by casting reasonable doubt!

Thats what I would have said if I was an intelligent fucker.

Awesome work. The "system" wont let me green rep you again.Fuckers.

Now back to me.

If we had shot the fucking whore way back when then instead of this discussion about some worthless piece of shit book we would be high-fiving each other, chugging beers, and celebrating our awesomeness.

we can still fix it, we just need to shoot the bitch, and her entire family, and every other piece of shit that was in the house that night.

Is Christine Rankin retarded as well?

She thinks everyone should read the book because she thinks there's a whole lot of us that don't realise these sorts of families exist.

I think the entire New Zealand public were made abundantly aware of the trash that exists in our country right from the first day that this whole abhorrence errupted.

and it was rankine who helped create the mess

Retard - no she is too sly for that.
Lets just call her a silly little bint.

[avgas]

Alrighty...

middle part....

Read the book (or not) before you judge it, if then after you have read it and don't like it then fine, or if you don't want to spend the money, then wait for a review of the book to see what it's all about.

Sorry still not selling me the concept that I should read a book about how 2 kids died in the care of their caregivers.........

Mind due I was never a fan of titanic either. Something about knowing the end of the story that puts me off those types of books.

May be I will watch the movie.

But he isn't profiteering off it

Um, I highly doubt he did this at his own expense and "out of the goodness of his own heart". He did it to make money and cause controversy.

[Elysium]

Hopefuly the book doesn't sell, I could use cheap fuel for my wood burner.

That loser Uru Chocknob was asked in court during cross examination '' so Macsyna didn't actually say that killed the twins did she''?

he answer was...''no''.

he answerd no because....that was truth, Macsyna didn't say those words..

She said to him..........'Chris didnt do it, I did''.

In a court of law in front of a Jury that question would throw doubt on a key issue.

[Laava]

We could hook her up with Clayton Weatherston?

What a way to word the question in court. By wording it as a negative question he could also have therefore been answering no as in "no, you are wrong" i.e. she did say that.

Either way Wishart is trying to profit from the controversy, hence it been released during the inquest and his stirring the pot. She is guilty of at least assisting the murder of her own twins if not doing the crime. If it was a completely independent investigation then I might be interested but involving someone who aided and abetted the criminal (possibly herself) it should be boycotted.

[trustme]

Well this sure stirred up the natives.
No, I won't read the book. I don't believe a word that woman says.
The book stores can chose to sell whatever they like , it has nothing to do with censorship, maybe it is more a reflection of the public disgust with this whole sorry saga.
Rankins motives are right but this is the wrong vehicle to get the message across, it is only one side of the story & I suspect a rather self serving version.

I have known a member of the Kahui family for more than 25 years, that person is quite closely related & knows all the people involved but was not in any way involved or present when things went pear shaped. For many years I have said if upbringing was relevant to criminal behaviour this person should be an axe murderer.

I have no more knowledge of the incident than anyone else. What I can say is that parts of that family have been dysfunctional for years. There has been alcohol abuse, violence, criminal behaviour & CYFS intervention or whatever you want to call it for 50 years .

The person I know had a childhood that does not bare thinking about, he is somewhat rough around the edges but he does not steal , hit women or kids, break the law. He knows right from wrong.

The book needed to look at the whole story & examine the history behind these people to have any credibility. Most would not have the stomach for it.


[ " Yeah Bro , my mum tried to make me go out & steal the local milk money so she could go to the pub & find a new uncle. Gave me a huah of a hiding when I said no it's stealing. I never let that bitch see me cry though. Fuckin bitch " ]

Edit The Kahui's don't believe Chris did it.

He was/is a waste of time and he no credibility in a court of law.
That being said, a Jury takes instruction from the Judge on any particular question in a courtroom.
I was on a jury once, class B drug case.
Charge was...dealing
The bloke had snap lock bags/small set of scales/brown wage envelopes/ a large sum of money in a briefcase and was seen with drugs at a party in the eastern BOP.
We let him go.
Why?...the crown's case was weak.
Its amazing how your mind can change with each question asked while sitting on a Jury.

and why we can't judge the merits of a case by what is reported, but boy we love to try. Our love of trying is what keeps the media and the likes of Wishart in business.
If Wishart had just put an article in his magazine I wouldn't find it so offensive, or would I have??? yeah on second thoughts I would have but the booksellers would have been able to avoid having to decide to stock it. If you already stock the mag then you aren't going to not likely to not stock one issue because of a story.

[Swoop]

The question has to be asked: Will this book be in the fiction or non-fiction section of bookstores and libraries?

I enjoy moving Kate McCanns' book to the "murder mystery" section of Whitcoulls.

This whole little bitchy "lynch mop

What? Do we have to dip our mops in petrol to light them now? My flaming torch works quite well and counter balances my pitchfork quite nicely!

...dont judge a book by it's cover...

The saying "don't judge a book by its movie" is also relevant. Hopefully a movie will not be forthcoming on this insult to NZ society.

[Banditbandit]

Sorry still not selling me the concept that I should read a book about how 2 kids died in the care of their caregivers.........

How do you know that's what the book is about? You haven't read it and you're making a massive leap to that ... and if that IS what it is about .. how can you blame a woman who was not there ?
