Our fine police force

[SPman]

Its common enough in other countries for looters to be shot. Its a nasty crime beyond simple burglary or theft.

especially for the light bulbs concerned........

I have tar, feathers, a stout piece of cordage with room for a neck.

crossbeam, anyone..........

[Usarka]

No.
&
No.

Should it?

I thought he was talking to me! I wouldn't make a good make a great cop obviously. Taxi driver maybe.....

*gasp*

Revenue idea - public stocks. Sell the right for the high and mighty to throw rotten fruit at the hoi polloy.

Brilliant

(FWIW, I didn't watch the piece and I don't really give a rat's)

My thoughts to. Perhaps that's why the police are happy for it to go to trial ... so all the facts can come out.

I was thinking along the same lines, but as I understand it to get diversion you have to admit guilt, and his lawyer has said not guilty on his behalf, the next step in the process I guess is trial.

I have to say I do feel some sympathy for the bloke, he does have a disorder which is documented and understood, his obsession is electrical fittings, but he also knows right from wrong.

I am dubious of the claims on how he gained his injuries, and dont understand why his friend/partner told him to hide from the police when the sensible thing to do would have been to request assistance, if he had simply come out and said thank god your here, my friend is in there and has and obsessive disorder, I need help to get him out, perhaps the situation may have been different.

He's a thief?

Thank fuck he wasn't speeding. What angers me is that police waste their time chasing halfwits with a lightbulb fetish when there are people breaking the speed limit.

It will revisit court.
The beak will close it off, with no extra punishment and a bit of a speech, and they will all go home for tea n scones.
Both parties have made mistakes.
Decisions made in testing times and pressured situations arn't always the best.

I am surprised that he received physical harm though, as it is obvious that Ari has a slightly different outlook on life.
Scummy, he is not a thief. Just a person with a condition that was misread.

They wouldn't have seen him had he not been wearing that goofy Hi Viz vest..

[Woodman]

Time served will be enough and I reckon thats what he will get. The Black eye could have just been a result of the struggle. Its weird how sometimes relatively small knocks can turn into quite major black eyes that look a hell of a lot worse than they are.

But....Did anyone else find it funny that two nancyboys were out stealing lightbulbs ??

[shrub]

They wouldn't have seen him had he not been wearing that goofy Hi Viz vest..

Or if he'd been on a bike. The moral of the story if you're going to pinch lightbulbs to display on your mantlepiece don't wear a high vis vest and ride a bike

[scissorhands]

Didnt Aaron Farmer wear a hi-vis vest and ride a bike? Both in Christchurch....

Maybe Cornelius will get some money out of all this?

What hasnt been said is that he had tools on him to commit burglary - The boyfriend said he tried to stop him entering the building, surely he would have known what was in his handbag and known what he was going to do and why did was he carrying tools of the trade if it was a spur of the moment thing. more to this than meets the black eye me thinks

If you are carrying a screwdriver it is just a screwdriver, if you walk into a collapsed building and start using said screwdriver to remove light fittings then it is tools to commit a burglary, if you use it to stab someone then it becomes a dangerous weapon. Don't read too much into that statement "he had tools on him to commit burglary" it could be as simple as a multi-tool and him using it to clip wires and not a full fledged TV type burglar kit.

Yeah .. most of us bikers frequently carry "tools to commit burglary" .. just have a look in the toolkit with your bike ...

Cool.
Tourette's sufferers will have an excuse to do more stuff.



Fuck you fucking cunts, I'm off to fucking rob a cunting bank.

Sweet make sure you get a bank that actually has money, not just some place that issues plastic cards to get fees off you, ring ahead if you can tell them you need to withdraw several million dollars as ransom so they will have cash on hand.
